  • Implement and test machine learning models under the guidance of senior team members, focusing on 3DVAE and video diffusion models.

  • Assist in data preparation and preprocessing for model training, handling video datasets effectively.

  • Stay updated with the latest trends and technologies in machine learning, such as new diffusion model architectures, to contribute to innovation.

  • Contribute to the development of new features and improvements in our models, supporting team efforts.

  • Work collaboratively with the team to achieve project goals, fostering a learning environment.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related field, suitable for early-career professionals.

  • Some experience with machine learning projects, preferably in Python, reflecting hands-on skills.

  • Familiarity with deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow, essential for model implementation.

  • Strong programming skills and a passion for learning new technologies, aligning with startup dynamism.

  • Excellent teamwork and communication skills, given the collaborative nature of the role.

  • A willingness to take on new challenges and learn from them, ideal for a junior position.

This role focuses on hands-on implementation, with a data focus, supporting the team’s broader goals.

Benefits:

  • Competitive compensation and equity

  • 401k (no match)

  • Healthcare (Silver PPO Medical, Vision, Dental)

  • Lunch and snacks at the office

We encourage you to apply even if you don't fully meet all the listed requirements; we value potential and diverse perspectives, and your unique skills could be a great asset to our team.
