Applied Research Scientist, AI Research

What you'll do

• Build vision-language systems, datasets, and benchmarks for reasoning about visual and audio project content and editorial quality.
• Train or fine-tune specialized models and ship them to production with agent and engineering teams.
• Identify product-focused research directions; publishing is optional.

What they ask for

• Demonstrated ability to design and implement deep learning algorithms through publications, open-source work, or shipped models.
• Strong programming skills and deep fluency in PyTorch, with the ability to rapidly run and evaluate experiments.
• Strong experimental judgment and clear written and verbal communication.
• A PhD or Master's in deep learning or a related field, or equivalent experience; and either lead/first authorship at a top venue or a key role shipping a production feature using deep learning.

Nice to have

• Experience or depth in vision-language models, multimodal understanding, generative modeling, foundation-model post-training/fine-tuning/RL, or evaluation of generative or agentic outputs.
• For Senior and Staff candidates: experience owning research direction and mentoring or technically leading researchers or engineers.
