You will work directly with some of the best machine learning experts in the world, who have an exceptional track record of setting the vision and executing generative AI projects.
What we're looking for
5+ years of experience in developing machine learning models in JAX, PyTorch, or TensorFlow
Experience in implementing Machine Learning foundations (e.g., Transformer, VAE, Denoising Diffusion models) from scratch
Track record in machine learning innovation and familiarity with Deep Learning and advanced Machine Learning
End-to-end understanding of generative media applications and excitement for pushing the state-of-the-art in generative AI
Ability to debug machine learning models to iteratively improve model quality and performance
Nice to have: Familiarity with kubernetes and docker
Optional: Experience in low-level machine learning optimization, e.g., writing CUDA kernel code
Founding Team
Our founding team consists of world-renowned AI experts including Mohammad Norouzi, Jonathan Ho, William Chan, and Chitwan Saharia. This team has previously led transformative AI projects at Google Brain, UC Berkeley, CMU, and the University of Toronto. Our fundamental work in AI includes: Imagen: Google’s text-to-image system, Imagen Video for video synthesis, Denoising Diffusion Models, which is the foundation of the recent generative media transformation.
Company Culture
We're a single flat team that transcends engineering, research, product, and operation roles. Everyone is willing to do whatever is necessary to make our company and customers successful. We believe that a small, dedicated team with a collaborative culture can move faster and build better and more coherent products than large hierarchical organizations.
