About the Role
You will lead development and training of multimodal vision-language models. You will design fine-tuning strategies for creative use cases, research VLM and LLM integrations with diffusion and flow pipelines, and evaluate emerging multimodal architectures to turn research into practical improvements.
Requirements
- Experience pretraining or significantly advancing a deployed or publicly released vision-language model
- Record of advancing multimodal architectures through publications or production work
- Knowledge of tokenization, alignment, grounding, cross-modal attention, and failure modes
- Experience with multi-node distributed training
- Experience with diffusion or flow-based generative models is preferred
Responsibilities
- Lead development and training of multimodal vision-language models
- Design fine-tuning strategies for specialized creative use cases
- Research VLM and LLM integrations with diffusion and flow pipelines
- Evaluate emerging multimodal architectures and implement practical improvements
Benefits
- Equity
- Reasonable travel costs covered
