About the Role
As a Staff ML Engineer on the Gaia team, you will own and drive the training and improvement of frontier-scale, in-house trained models. This high-impact role offers the opportunity to tech-lead a key area and shape the next version of Gaia in a fast-paced, results-focused environment.
Responsibilities
- Lead and execute large-scale training runs for video or adjacent foundation models, from experimental design through production-grade execution.
- Contribute to model architecture and training strategy, using first-principles understanding.
- Improve world-model capabilities that enable synthetic scenario generation and downstream evaluation/training of the driving model.
- Partner closely with research, applications, simulation engineering, and cloud/infrastructure teams to deliver end-to-end impact.
- Provide technical leadership through mentorship, review, and setting high engineering/research standards.
Requirements
- In-depth experience training large-scale models (language, video, or other foundation models), including ownership of training at scale.
- Strong understanding of model architecture and the ability to contribute meaningfully to architectural/training decisions.
- Strong hands-on engineering skills with modern ML stacks (e.g., PyTorch), including debugging and performance/reliability-minded development.
- Relevant industry experience (typically 4–5+ years); advanced degrees are valued, but depth of applied experience is important.
- Proven technical leadership (tech lead ownership, mentoring, setting direction across an area).
