Job Description:

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. 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.

Job Responsibility:

  • Lead a group of Runway's Applied ML Research team
  • Lead and drive the executions for new applied research projects
  • Work with the rest of the engineering organization to oversee the transition from research into production
  • Work with the Product team to initiate and work on projects that deliver clear user value

Requirements:

  • 4+ years of industry experience as a research scientist in multimodal, generative audio
  • Proven experience leading projects
  • High emotional intelligence and experience mentoring other researchers
  • Good understanding of how to communicate goals, drive the execution of projects, and inspire through others
  • Experience in translating product and business objectives into technical strategies
  • Deep interest in productionizing state of the art ML research
