Position Summary
We are looking for Research Scientists to tackle the data problems that determine our world model capabilities. You will design, develop, and run state-of-the-art systems for curating, ingesting, filtering, annotating, and training with billion-scale visual data. You will work on problems including, but not limited to, motion scoring, camera control, and video understanding. You will translate our team’s human efforts into durable automated systems, whose performance is quantitatively verifiable.
$150,000 - $400,000 a year
Salary Range
The posted salary range represents the company’s good faith estimate of the compensation for this position upon hire. The actual compensation offered may vary within this range depending on individual qualifications, including but not limited to relevant skills, experience, education, certifications, geographic location, and specific business needs.
Key Responsibilities
Necessary:
Benefits Include
*Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits
*Bonus
*401K Plan
*Generous paid time off, sick leave and holidays
