Job description

Responsibilities

Design and build end-to-end agentic systems for creative tasks
Develop novel approaches for training and adapting the large language models that power these agents
Design new objectives, datasets, and fine-tuning strategies to improve agent behavior and reliability
Explore multimodal reasoning and structured generation for creative control
Run systematic experiments to evaluate and improve agent performance in real-world tasks
Design evaluation frameworks for agentic workflows in video analysis and editing
Analyze failure modes across the full agent loop (planning, tool use, execution) and iterate on improvements

BS/MS/PhD in CS, ML, or related field
Strong track record building production ML systems or agentic pipelines
Deep understanding of transformers and modern LLM techniques
