AI research lab building models that adapt in real time without retraining
Adaption is a San Francisco AI lab building models that keep learning from real-world interaction instead of relying on costly retraining cycles. Its stack spans training (PyTorch, JAX), inference serving (vLLM, SGLang, TensorRT-LLM) and GPU-level work (CUDA, NCCL, Triton), pointing to full-stack optimization. Hiring is research-led and senior-heavy, with a new GTM Lead role signaling an early push to build a commercial engine.
Notable leadership hires: GTM Lead
Adaption develops AI systems designed to adjust as real-world conditions change, aiming for efficient intelligence across domains, languages and operational constraints. The company is privately held, headquartered in San Francisco, and employs 11–50 people. Its team is concentrated in research and engineering, with a small sales function forming around a GTM Lead. Adaption recruits across North America, Europe, Latin America and Asia, including the United States, Canada, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, India and Singapore.
Adaption uses Python, PyTorch, JAX and TensorFlow for modeling, vLLM, SGLang and TensorRT-LLM for inference, CUDA, NCCL and Triton for GPU work, plus Ray, Spark, Flink, Kubernetes and Apache Iceberg for data and infrastructure.
Yes. Research is Adaption's largest hiring area, followed by engineering, with mostly senior-level roles and a smaller sales effort led by a GTM Lead position.
Adaption hires in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Portugal, India and Singapore.
