Research and develop next-generation native video and multimodal foundation models for multimodal generation and understanding.
О компании
- Labs is a social AI company, developing a suite of advanced real-time models that push the boundaries of expression, personality, and realism. We bring characters to life, transforming how people tell stories, connect, and create. We build and power ecosystems. , our flagship social AI platform, is just the beginning.
- If you're excited about the potential AI has to shape human creativity and social interactions, join us in building the future!
Обязанности
- We are building a core team to develop next-generation native video and omni foundation models for multimodal generation and understanding. Our current focus is large-scale video foundation model development, spanning pre-training, continued training, and post-training for high-quality, controllable, consistent, and efficient generation. Our broader roadmap includes reference- and memory-based generation, multimodal understanding and interaction, and joint audio-video generation.
- In this role, you will work on foundational research and large-scale model development across the full model lifecycle, including architecture, data, training, evaluation, post-training, training systems, and efficient inference. You will have the opportunity to shape both the technical direction and the team from an early stage.
- Research, develop, and scale native video and multimodal foundation models, from early prototypes through large-scale pre-training, continued training, and post-training.
- Explore new model architectures, training objectives, and conditioning mechanisms for video generation, reference- and memory-based generation, multimodal interaction, and joint audio-video generation.
- Build and improve large-scale data curation, distributed training, evaluation, and post-training pipelines for high-quality and controllable generation.
- Design systematic experiments to understand model scaling, generation quality, controllability, consistency, robustness, and inference efficiency.
- Collaborate closely with researchers, engineers, and product teams to help shape the technical roadmap and, where appropriate, translate model advances into real-world capabilities.
- Contribute to research publications and open-source releases when appropriate.
Требования
- Strong research and engineering experience in generative modeling, including areas such as diffusion models, flow matching, DiTs, video generation, multimodal models, world models, or related fields.
- Hands-on experience training and evaluating large-scale image, video, or unified multimodal models using modern deep learning frameworks and distributed training systems.
- A strong track record of developing impactful models or systems, demonstrated through research publications, open-source contributions, production impact, or other significant technical work.
- Ability to independently own ambiguous research problems, move effectively from ideas to experiments, and work well in a highly collaborative environment.
- Specialized depth in one or more areas across the foundation model lifecycle, such as model architecture, data curation, controllable generation, multimodal understanding and conditioning, post-training and reward modeling, model acceleration, inference systems, or deployment.
