Neural Graphics and World Models Research Scientist/Software Engineer Graduate (TikTok, Engine&Tools) - 2027 Start (PhD)

What you'll do

• Study research, reproduce baselines, and develop and evaluate methods in a scoped research area.
• Build training, inference, data, and evaluation workflows; run controlled experiments and communicate findings.
• Create interactive research prototypes and produce reproducible artifacts, documentation, demonstrations, and reports.

What they ask for

• Completing or recently completed a PhD in computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, applied mathematics, or a related discipline.
• Research experience through a laboratory, thesis, publication, internship, open-source project, or substantial independent project.
• Hands-on experience building, training, fine-tuning, or evaluating models with frameworks such as PyTorch or JAX, plus a strong foundation in machine learning, generative modeling, and experimental methodology.
• Deep experience in at least one AI-for-graphics area, such as 3D modeling, animation, simulation, rendering, world models, or graphics and game-engine workflows.

Nice to have

• Peer-reviewed publications at leading venues or related research communities.
• Technical reports, open-source contributions, demos, project pages, or experience with conditioned 3D or world generation.
