Overview
Design, train, and deploy the multi-modal models behind Labs Intelligence — the AI substrate for every Labs product, from Yuhmmy's taste intelligence to XR perception.
Mission
The 7 Frontier Intelligences begin with Superintelligence. This role is the architect of that beginning — models that perceive, reason, and act across modalities in service of human enhancement.
What you'll do
- Own model architecture decisions across text, vision, audio, and sensor modalities
- Build and operate the training stack — data pipelines, distributed runs, evaluation harnesses
- Design the deployment path: quantization, serving (vLLM/Triton), latency and cost budgets
- Stand up RLHF/preference-tuning loops with product feedback in the loop
- Set research-to-production standards for every Labs team consuming models
- Mentor engineers and researchers; review the hard technical calls
Minimum qualifications
- 7+ years in ML engineering with 3+ training or fine-tuning large models
- Deep PyTorch or JAX; real distributed-training experience (FSDP/DeepSpeed/TPU or equivalent)
- Production inference at scale — you have owned a serving fleet and its bill
- Strong evaluation instincts: you measure before and after you believe
Preferred qualifications
- Multimodal or embodied-AI research record
- CUDA/Triton kernel work
- RLHF pipelines in production
Nice to have
- Open-source contributions to the ML stack
- Publications or patents
- Edge/on-device deployment
