Member of Technical Staff (Imagine Model)

• As a multimodal engineer 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 (e.g., synchronized audio for video)
• Responsibilities span data curation, modeling, training, inference serving, and product integration, covering both pretraining and post-training phases. You will collaborate closely with product teams to push model frontiers and deliver exceptional end-to-end user experiences
• 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)
• Improve data quality through annotation, filtering, augmentation, synthetic generation, captioning, and in-depth data studies, particularly for visual and audio data
• Design evaluation frameworks, metrics, benchmarks, evals, and reward models tailored to image/video/audio quality and coherence
• Implement efficient algorithms for state-of-the-art model performance, including real-time inference, distillation, and scalable serving for visual content
• Develop scalable data collection and processing pipelines for multimodal (primarily image/video-focused) datasets
• Collaborate cross-functionally to integrate AI solutions into production and rapidly iterate based on user feedback

Benefits

• 401(k) plan: Retirement savings plan to secure your financial future

• Ability to deliver optimal end-to-end user experiences
• Hands-on contributor with initiative, excellence, strong work ethic, prioritization skills, and excellent communication
• Experience in data-driven experiment designs, systematic analysis, and iterative model debugging
• Experience developing or working with large-scale distributed machine learning systems
• Track record in leading studies that significantly improve neural network capabilities and performance through better data or modeling
• Experience in SFT, RL, evals, human/synthetic data collection, or agentic systems
• Proficiency in Python, JAX/XLA, PyTorch, Rust/C++, Spark, Ray, and related large-scale frameworks
• 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)
• Experience with agentic RL training, controllable/long-horizon generation, or multimodal agents that reason and act across modalities (especially in visual domains)
