Job Description

AI Summary

• Develop and optimize GPU-accelerated generative AI models for image and video creation, focusing on computer vision and multimodal systems for media generation. • Requires 5+ years of ML/computer vision experience with expertise in CUDA, C++, systems-level performance optimization, and proficiency in frameworks like PyTorch or TensorFlow. • Work directly with engineering and product teams to bring cutting-edge machine learning models to production while prototyping solutions under tight deadlines. • Remote positions available across North America and Europe with offices in NYC, San Francisco, Seattle, London, and Tel Aviv; competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package. • Ideal candidate combines strong systems programming skills, experience building human-in-the-loop creative tools, and ability to write clean, maintainable research code in a fast-paced environment.

We are building AI to simulate the world through merging art and science.

We believe that world models are at the frontier of progress in artificial intelligence. Language models alone won’t solve the world’s hardest problems – robotics, disease, scientific discovery. Real progress requires models that experience the world and learn from their mistakes, the same way that humans do. And this kind of trial and error can be massively accelerated when done in simulation, rather than in the real world.

World models offer the most clear path to general-purpose simulation, changing how stories are told, how scientific progress is made and how the next frontiers of humanity are reached.

Our team consists of creative, open minded, caring and ambitious people who are determined to change the world. We aspire to continuously build impossible things and our ability to do so relies on building an incredible team. If you are driven to do the same, we'd love to hear from you.
