Additional Information

Required Previous Experiences: Track record in generative modeling, video, multimodal learning, large-scale ML systems, or adjacent areas.
Preferred Qualifications: Comfortable working from first principles. You can define a problem, design experiments to test it, and build the minimal system that proves what's possible.
Fluent across the research-to-product gap. You care how and why models work, and you care that they actually work in the wild.
Energized by ambiguity. You've operated in areas without precedent and built the tools, frameworks, and patterns as you went.
Have a real view on where this field needs to go next, and can defend it.
Thrive in small, focused teams that value autonomy, speed, and tight collaboration over process.
