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. Language models alone won’t solve the world’s hardest problems – robotics, disease, scientific discovery. Real progress requires models that experience the world and learn from their mistakes, the same way that humans do. And this kind of trial and error can be massively accelerated when done in simulation, rather than in the real world. 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:

  • Manage and grow Runway’s Applied ML Research team to create cutting-edge machine learning tools for AI-based content creation
  • Work with the rest of the engineering organization to oversee the transition from research into production
  • Work with the Product team to initiate and develop research projects that deliver clear user value

Requirements:

  • 5+ years of industry experience as a research scientist in computer vision
  • 1+ year managing teams
  • High emotional intelligence and experience mentoring and supporting the career growth of 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
