Role brief
What this role is asking for.
We are building AI to simulate the world through merging art and science. We believe that world models are at the frontier of progress in artificial intelligence. Language models alone won’t solve the world’s hardest problems – robotics, disease, scientific discovery. Real progress requires models that experience the world and learn from their mistakes, the same way that humans do. And this kind of trial and error can be massively accelerated when done in simulation, rather than in the real world. World models offer the most clear path to general-purpose simulation, changing how stories are told, how scientific progress is made and how the next frontiers of humanity are reached. Our team consists of creative, open minded, caring and ambitious people who are determined to change the world. We aspire to continuously build impossible things and our ability to do so relies on building an incredible team. If you are driven to do the same, we'd love to hear from you. ABOUT THE ROLE We’re looking for Research Engineers to help our world models train faster and run more efficiently, without compromising what they can do. You will profile, optimize, and rearchitect the systems that turn research ideas into models that run at scale and in real time — directly shaping what is computationally possible and, by extension, what capabilities we can build. WHAT YOU’LL DO - Optimize training th...
