About the job
SpaceXAI is seeking a multimodal engineer for the Imagine Model Team to develop cutting-edge AI experiences beyond text, focusing on high-fidelity understanding and generation across image and video modalities, with audio integration where it enhances visual content. Responsibilities cover data curation, modeling, training, inference serving, and product integration across pretraining and post-training phases. The role involves close collaboration with product teams to advance model frontiers and deliver exceptional end-to-end user experiences.
Responsibilities
- Drive engineering agendas to advance multimodal capabilities, emphasizing image and video generation, editing, understanding, controllable/long-horizon synthesis, agentic planning, RL training, and world simulation (including audio integration).
- Improve data quality through annotation, filtering, augmentation, synthetic generation, captioning, and in-depth data studies for visual and audio data.
- Design evaluation frameworks, metrics, benchmarks, evals, and reward models for image/video/audio quality and coherence.
- Implement efficient algorithms for state-of-the-art model performance, including real-time inference, distillation, and scalable serving for visual content.
- Develop scalable data collection and processing pipelines for multimodal datasets, primarily image/video-focused.
- Collaborate cross-functionally to integrate AI solutions into production and rapidly iterate based on user feedback.
Requirements
- Track record in leading studies that significantly improve neural network capabilities and performance through better data or modeling.
- Experience in data-driven experiment designs, systematic analysis, and iterative model debugging.
- Experience developing or working with large-scale distributed machine learning systems.
- Ability to deliver optimal end-to-end user experiences.
- Hands-on contributor with initiative, excellence, strong work ethic, prioritization skills, and excellent communication.
Benefits
- Equity
- Comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage
- Access to a 401(k) retirement plan
- Short & long-term disability insurance
- Life insurance
