  • Designing New Frontier Tasks: As AI models have unlocked mind-blowing scenarios like DeepResearch and CUA agents, you will conduct research on expanding what the latest multimodal AI models can generate by defining new challenging tasks that better align with real user requirements. Collaborate with ML Engineers to identify emerging technical trends and continuously explore new application directions and scenarios

  • SFT + Post-Training: Abstract and address critical and challenging user needs with AI models. Perform post-training of fundamental models to address various downstream applications like ensuring character consistency, accurate glyph generation, and enhanced visual aesthetics

Qualifications

You're probably a match if you have:

  • Rich experience in shipping the latest generative models like FLUX based on Diffusion Transformer, Qwen3-Coder, Qwen2.5-VL, and DeepSeek- R1.

  • Ability to translate advancements in the latest generative models into robust, production-ready implementations

  • Experience with deploying diffusion models and LLMs, and improving efficiency either through distillation, speculative sampling strategies, or quantization.

  • Collaborative mindset — you work exceptionally well with engineers, product teams, and other researchers. Partner closely with ML Engineers to accelerate model inference and integrate them into the product ecosystem

  • Ability to share your knowledge internally through documentation and cross-team collaborations, and externally through papers or talks where appropriate

  • Proficiency in Python, PyTorch, and cloud computing platforms, ensuring fast model deployment
