About the job

We are seeking Research Engineers to contribute to our ambitious research agenda focused on multimodal foundational models, interactive world modeling, and real-time generation. This role is highly collaborative and will involve a full-stack approach across pretraining, SFT/RL post-training techniques, evaluation, and bringing models to production. Our team is dedicated to building AI that simulates the world, merging art and science to create models that learn from experience and accelerate progress in areas like robotics, disease, and scientific discovery.

Responsibilities

  • Run experiments to teach world models new behaviors, including action following, scene manipulation, and camera control.
  • Develop and test new data strategies, architectural variants, and training techniques.
  • Design evaluations to measure model capabilities and drive model improvement.
  • Transition features from research prototypes to production, collaborating with product and creative teams.
  • Contribute across the entire research stack, including data pipelines, modeling, and production inference.

Requirements

  • 4+ years of experience in machine learning research or engineering.
  • Familiarity with the architecture, training, and inference of large-scale multimodal generative models.
  • Experience building robust data pipelines for pretraining and post-training.
  • Comfort working across the full research stack: data, training, evaluation, and deployment.
  • Proficiency with at least one ML framework (e.g., PyTorch, JAX) and experience with distributed training at scale.
  • Ability to context-switch quickly and drive projects forward in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment.
  • Excitement about building AI that simulates the world.
