AI Research Scientist, Visual Coding - MSL FAIR

Summary:

We are seeking AI research scientists to help us build Meta's most advanced multimodal large language models. To push the frontier of what those models can generate, we need to work with data and train at scale, and advance our visual coding capabilities.Our team contributes across all stages of development (pre-training, mid-training, post-training) and all multimodal modalities (image, video, audio, 3D). We are tackling complex challenges at trillion-scale, including organic data curation, synthetic data generation, agent and interaction data, visual code generation, agent post-training, and frontier paradigms that redefine what is possible.Based in Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL) within the Fundamental AI Research Organization (FAIR), you will directly contribute to Meta's frontier models and collaborate with scientists and engineers across MSL.
