About the job
At Runway ML, we are pioneering artificial intelligence that simulates the world by harmonizing art and science. We hold the belief that world models represent the cutting edge of advancement in AI. Relying solely on language models is insufficient to tackle the most pressing challenges such as robotics, disease, and scientific breakthroughs. Genuine progress necessitates models that can interact with the world and learn from their mistakes, akin to human learning. This cycle of trial and error can be significantly expedited through simulation rather than in real-world contexts.
World models provide a clear pathway to general-purpose simulation, revolutionizing storytelling, scientific exploration, and the next milestones of human achievement.
Our team is composed of imaginative, open-minded, compassionate, and ambitious individuals who are driven to effect change in the world. We are committed to continually creating the extraordinary, and our capacity to do so hinges on assembling an exceptional team. If you share this drive, we would love to hear from you.
About the Role
We are seeking a Senior Applied Research Scientist to spearhead the pretraining initiatives for the next generation of Runway’s multimodal models. This position is ideal for someone with a robust background in developing impactful and innovative machine learning projects, possesses strong software engineering skills, and has a keen interest in translating research into novel user interfaces for creative applications.
