The Bot Company - Machine Learning: Multimodal Foundation Models

Unknown - USA *$200k - $350k+ Equity8mo ago

In Office NA Artificial Intelligence Robotics Metaverse Architect Associate C++Rust Python

Requirements

• Very strong coding skills in Python, C++, or Rust. • Production MLLM Experience: Track record of training and deploying large-scale multimodal models. • Pretraining & RL Mastery: Deep intuition for LLM-style pretraining, post-training, and Reinforcement Learning at scale. • Infrastructure Fluency: Comfortable managing and optimizing large-scale experiments on massive GPU clusters.

Responsibilities

• Build Native Multimodal Policies: Develop architectures where vision, language, and more modalities share a unified representation. • Improve Cross-Modal Reasoning: Research and implement methods to ensure the model doesn't just "associate" modalities but actually reasons through them (e.g., grounding visual physics in kinematic constraints). • Own the Training Loop End-to-End: Design, run, debug, and iterate on large-scale training experiments; diagnosing failure modes, improving data mixtures, and tightening evaluation to drive measurable gains. • Ship and Iterate on Real Systems: Integrate models into real robotic stacks, build on robot code to deploy your models, and optimize performance for edge inference.

Benefits

• Base $200K – $350K • Actual compensation will depend on skills, experience, and qualifications. • Base salary is one part of the total compensation package. The role is also eligible for equity through the company’s discretionary equity program, along with a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental, and vision coverage, and access to a 401(k) plan. • Upload your resume here to autofill key application fields. • Drop your resume here! • Parsing your resume.
