About the position

At GenAI, we're developing cutting-edge AI technologies that will define the future of content creation, productivity, and social media. We are looking for a creative, skilled, and motivated Research Scientist to join our media foundation modeling team in advancing the state-of-the-art of image and video foundation models. In this role, you will collaborate with research scientists, software engineers, and data scientists to design technical solutions in a fast-paced multidisciplinary environment. Your work will involve developing input architectures that combine vision and language, designing and prototyping interactive experiences, and evaluating them through user research. You will also be responsible for designing and prototyping data collection systems to accelerate machine learning and collaborating across teams to develop concepts that advance the entire product pipeline, including hardware, software, data collection, and machine learning.

Responsibilities

• Work with researchers to develop input architectures that combine vision and language.
• Design and prototype interactive experiences and evaluate them through user research.
• Design and prototype data collection systems to accelerate machine learning.
• Collaborate and work across teams to develop concepts that advance the entire product pipeline (hardware, software, data collection, machine learning, etc.).

Requirements

• Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience. Degree must be completed prior to joining Meta.
