Job Level

About the role

  • Design multimodal, multitask datasets that teach world models new capabilities — deciding what data to collect, generate, or curate and measuring its effect on model behavior
  • Run controlled training experiments to understand how data composition drives model performance across tasks and domains
  • Build and operate large-scale pipelines for synthetic data generation, filtering, and quality control
  • Define evaluations and benchmarks that measure whether our models are actually improving at the things that matter
  • Partner with product and creative teams to translate target behaviors and capabilities into concrete data strategies

Requirements

  • 4+ years of experience in machine learning, bonus points for data-centric approaches
  • Experience with large multimodal datasets and generative models (video, image, or multimodal)
  • Deep intuition for how data composition and quality translate to model capabilities
  • Comfort working across the full research stack: data analysis, dataset creation, model training, evaluation, and back again
  • Proficiency with at least one ML framework (e.g. PyTorch, JAX) and distributed compute tools (e.g. Ray, Kubernetes)
  • Excitement about building AI that simulates the world
Benefits
  • Health insurance
  • 401(k) matching
  • Paid time off
  • Flexible work arrangements
  • Professional development
