About the Role

You will run end-to-end multimodal model training for Omni, covering data, pre- and post-training, evals, inference and deployment. You will contribute to open research such as multimodal MoE and token-efficient encoders, help consolidate training infrastructure, and turn research-grade code into maintainable, production-ready systems while working across vision and audio teams.

Requirements

  • Hands-on experience training ML models in at least one non-text modality (vision most likely; audio can be learned)
  • Foundational understanding of how multimodal training works below the research layer
  • Comfortable between research and engineering, running experiments and hardening code
  • Able to take training infrastructure and inference from experiment code to production-ready
  • Preferred: audio and speech modeling, inference/deployment (including on-device), multimodal MoE exposure, publications

Responsibilities

  • Run multimodal training experiments end to end, pre- and post-training, and fold results into the next Omni release
  • Contribute to open research directions such as multimodal MoE and token efficiency for multimodal encoders
  • Share multimodal data work: pipelines, curation, and data decisions
  • Harden research-grade experiment code into maintainable infrastructure
  • Help consolidate Omni's training infrastructure into one codebase and library
  • Own inference and deployment for Omni models
  • Work across vision and audio teams on data, infra, training, and evals

Benefits

  • Equity
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Company-wide Refill Days
  • Comprehensive health coverage
  • Paid leave for pregnancy, parenting, medical needs, and family care
