      <Title>Member of Technical Staff - Imagine Model</Title>
      <Description><![CDATA[<p>As a Member of Technical Staff on the Imagine Model Team, you will develop cutting-edge AI experiences beyond text, with a strong focus on enabling high-fidelity understanding and generation across image and video modalities, while also incorporating audio where it enhances visual content.</p>
<p>Responsibilities:</p>
<ul>
<li>Create and drive engineering agendas to advance multimodal capabilities, with emphasis on image and video generation, editing, understanding, controllable/long-horizon synthesis, agentic planning, RL training, and world simulation (including audio integration for richer video experiences).</li>
<li>Improve data quality through annotation, filtering, augmentation, synthetic generation, captioning, and in-depth data studies, particularly for visual and audio data.</li>
<li>Design evaluation frameworks, metrics, benchmarks, evals, and reward models tailored to image/video/audio quality and coherence.</li>
<li>Implement efficient algorithms for state-of-the-art model performance, including real-time inference, distillation, and scalable serving for visual content.</li>
<li>Develop scalable data collection and processing pipelines for multimodal (primarily image/video-focused) datasets.</li>
<li>Collaborate cross-functionally to integrate AI solutions into production and rapidly iterate based on user feedback.</li>
</ul>
<p>Basic Qualifications:</p>
<ul>
<li>Track record in leading studies that significantly improve neural network capabilities and performance through better data or modeling.</li>
<li>Experience in data-driven experiment designs, systematic analysis, and iterative model debugging.</li>
<li>Experience developing or working with large-scale distributed machine learning systems.</li>
<li>Ability to deliver optimal end-to-end user experiences.</li>
<li>Hands-on contributor with initiative, excellence, strong work ethic, prioritization skills, and excellent communication.</li>
</ul>
<p>Preferred Skills and Experience:</p>
<ul>
<li>Experience in SFT, RL, evals, human/synthetic data collection, or agentic systems.</li>
<li>Proficiency in Python, JAX/XLA, PyTorch, Rust/C++, Spark, Ray, and related large-scale frameworks.</li>
<li>Domain expertise in multimodal applications such as graphics engines, rendering techniques, image/video understanding and generation, world models, real-time simulation, or controllable/long-horizon visual content creation (audio/speech processing or music/audio generation experience is a plus where it supports video).</li>
<li>Experience with agentic RL training, controllable/long-horizon generation, or multimodal agents that reason and act across modalities (especially in visual domains).</li>
</ul>
