Most of today's generative AI is built for text, images, and video.
Enterprise data isn't.
The world's most valuable data lives in tables: customer records, transactions, financial systems, telemetry, operational data, and business workflows. Today's generative AI stack wasn't designed to learn efficiently from this kind of information.
At Granica, we're building Large Tabular Models (LTMs)—foundation models that learn natively from structured and relational enterprise data.
Our research is led by Prof. Andrea Montanari (Stanford) and focuses on one central question:
How can we build generative AI that learns efficiently from tabular data?
That requires solving problems well beyond model architecture, including intelligent data selection, dataset augmentation, representation learning, and information-preserving compression.
If you're excited about inventing the algorithms that make Large Tabular Models possible, we'd love to talk.
What You'll Work OnDevelop new machine learning algorithms for Large Tabular Models.
Research methods for selecting, augmenting, and compressing training data without losing information.
Build representation learning techniques for structured and relational datasets.
Prototype and evaluate new approaches for generative modeling over enterprise data.
Design rigorous experiments and benchmarks to measure progress.
Collaborate closely with Prof. Andrea Montanari and Granica's research team to translate research into production systems.
PhD in Machine Learning, Computer Science, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, or a related field.
Strong research record in machine learning.
Experience developing new models or learning algorithms.
Hands-on experience with PyTorch or JAX.
Strong programming skills in Python.
Ability to turn research ideas into working systems.
Experience in structured learning, representation learning, generative modeling, probabilistic modeling, statistical learning, or scalable ML systems is particularly relevant.
Research on tabular, relational, or graph data.
Experience with diffusion or other generative modeling approaches.
Publications at NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, COLT, KDD, or related venues.
Open-source or production ML systems experience.
Competitive salary, meaningful equity, and performance bonus for top performers

At Granica, you'll help build the next generation of enterprise AI—from exabyte-scale data infrastructure, Large Tabular Models (LTMs), and stateful AI agents. Together, we're creating the infrastructure that enables enterprises to own their data, own the intelligence built on it, and scale both efficiently.
Skills Required
- PhD in Machine Learning, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, or related field
- Research or applied work in representation learning, generalization theory, probabilistic modeling, or foundational models
- Strong grounding in information theory, optimization, or statistical inference
- Hands-on experience with deep learning frameworks: PyTorch, JAX, or TensorFlow
- Proficiency in Python or Rust for large-scale experimentation
Granica Compensation & Benefits Highlights
-
Healthcare Strength — Policies advertise premium medical, dental, and vision coverage with mental‑health benefits and FSAs. Some materials indicate fully paid employee coverage with meaningful dependent support.
-
Leave & Time Off Breadth — Time off includes unlimited PTO paired with quarterly recharge days, alongside paid holidays and sick time. Guidance encourages multi‑week annual rest to reduce burnout.
-
Strong & Reliable Incentives — Compensation highlights include quarterly performance bonuses for all roles in addition to competitive salary. Feedback suggests these incentives are a consistent part of the total‑rewards design.
