Staff Research Scientist, Exotic AI

📋 Description

• develop latent world models for environment dynamics with imagined rollouts (Dreamer-style
• architect action/policy pipelines (vision-language-action, diffusion-based learning)
• build generative simulators for controllable future states (video world models)
• develop multimodal generative capabilities for reasoning and decision-making
• lead cross-team decisions on training frameworks, data pipelines & evaluation infra
• drive research-to-production pathways for reliable platform capabilities

🎯 Requirements

• 8+ years in ML engineering or AI research (or equivalent)
• deep expertise in at least two of: representation learning, world models, RL, generative modeling
• hands-on experience training large-scale vision/language/multimodal models with distributed compute
• strong software engineering fundamentals: system design, performance optimization, production-grade
• ability to drive cross-team initiatives with ambiguity
• track record translating research into scalable systems

🎁 Benefits

• bonus points for latent dynamics modeling, model-based RL, physics-informed NN
• contributions to open-source ML frameworks or foundation model training codebases
• background in scientific/structured models (molecular, materials, weather)
• experience building controllable video generation or neural simulation environments
• top venues publications (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, CVPR, CoRL, RSS)
