We are seeking a talented Research Scientist with a strong background in generative modeling, particularly diffusion models, to join our modeling team. This role is ideal for candidates with deep expertise in diffusion models applied to images, videos, or 3D assets and scenes.
\nWhile experience in one or more of the following areas is a strong plus: large-scale model training, research in 3D computer vision.
\nYou will collaborate closely with researchers, engineers, and product teams to bring advanced 3D modeling and machine learning techniques into real-world applications, ensuring that our technology remains at the forefront of visual innovation. This role involves significant hands-on research and engineering work, driving projects from conceptualization through to production deployment.
\nKey responsibilities include designing, implementing, and training large-scale diffusion models for generating 3D worlds, developing and experimenting with large-scale diffusion models to add novel control signals, adapting to target aesthetic preferences, or distilling for efficient inference, collaborating closely with research and product teams to understand and translate product requirements into effective technical roadmaps, contributing hands-on to all stages of model development including data curation, experimentation, evaluation, and deployment, continuously exploring and integrating cutting-edge research in diffusion and generative AI more broadly, acting as a key technical resource within the team, mentoring colleagues, and driving best practices in generative modeling and ML engineering.
\nIdeal candidate profile includes 3+ years of experience in generative modeling or applied ML roles, extensive experience with machine learning frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow, especially in the context of diffusion models and other generative models, deep expertise in at least one area of generative modeling, strong history of publications or open-source contributions involving large-scale diffusion models, strong coding proficiency in Python and experience with GPU-accelerated computing, ability to engage effectively with researchers and cross-functional teams, clearly translating complex technical ideas into actionable tasks and outcomes, comfortable operating within a dynamic startup environment with high levels of ambiguity, ownership, and innovation.
\nNice to have includes contributions to open-source projects in the fields of computer vision, graphics, or ML, familiarity with large-scale training infrastructure, experience integrating machine learning models into production environments, led or been involved with the development or training of large-scale, state-of-the-art generative models.
