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
