About Adexis
Adexis is a London-based frontier research lab solving dexterous manipulation. Our mission is to bring machines the power of touch on the path to physical general intelligence, bringing about a future of abundance.
We are building a lean, talent-dense organisation, inspired by history's great groups — the Manhattan Project, Apollo, Bell Labs, Skunkworks — where aggregating outlier individuals drove collective output that changed history.
We are backed by leading investors, and researchers from Anthropic, ElevenLabs, Google DeepMind and more.
Member of Technical Staff — Pre-Training
As a founding hire, you will own the architecture and training recipe for our visuo-tactile foundation model: the core representation that lets a robot understand the physical world through both sight and touch. This is the central modeling bet of the lab, and you will set its direction.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What You'll Do
- Own the model architecture end to end: how visual and tactile signals are tokenized, fused or kept separate, and learned jointly.
- Design the training recipe across a staged pipeline — large-scale pretraining on passive observational data, a mid-training stage on our proprietary contact-rich data, and downstream adaptation.
- Set evaluation: define what "this model understands contact" actually means and build the evals for it.
- Set the scaling roadmap as data and compute grow.
You Might Be a Fit If You
- Have trained large multimodal or sequence models from scratch and owned the recipe — the data mix, curricula, ablations, debugging silent failures.
- Have strong instincts for multimodal fusion and have shipped a model where a second modality measurably earned its place.
- Are comfortable being the person who decides the architecture when the literature gives no clean answer.
- Bonus: tactile, force, or other non-visual sensing; world models; self-supervised representation learning.
