Senior Research Engineer - Multimodal & Video Foundation Model
Join to apply for the Senior Research Engineer - Multimodal & Video Foundation Model role at Tether.io.
Overview
As a member of the AI model team, you will drive innovation in architecture development for cutting-edge models of various scales, including small, large, and multimodal systems. Your work will enhance intelligence, improve efficiency, and introduce new capabilities to advance the field. You will have deep expertise in video generation model architectures with a hands-on, research-driven approach. Your mission is to explore and implement novel techniques and algorithms that lead to groundbreaking advancements: data curation, strengthening baselines, and resolving pre-training bottlenecks to push model performance.
Responsibilities
* Pioneer multimodal and video-centric research that moves fast and breaks ground, contributing directly to usable prototypes and scalable systems.
* Design and implement novel AI architectures for multimodal language models, integrating text, visual, and audio modalities.
* Engineer scalable training and inference pipelines optimized for large-scale multimodal datasets and distributed GPU systems across thousands of GPUs.
* Optimize systems and algorithms for efficient data processing, model execution, and pipeline throughput.
* Build modular tools for preprocessing, analyzing, and managing multimodal data assets (e.g., images, video, text).
* Collaborate cross-functionally with research and engineering teams to translate cutting-edge model innovations into production-grade solutions.
* Prototype generative AI applications showcasing new capabilities of multimodal foundation models in real-world products.
* Develop benchmarking tools to rigorously evaluate model performance across diverse multimodal tasks.
* Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
* Expertise in Python and PyTorch, including practical experience with the full development pipeline from data processing and loading to training, inference, and optimization.
* Experience with large-scale text data, or (bonus) interleaved data spanning audio, video, image, and/or text.
* Hands-on experience developing or benchmarking at least one of: LLMs, Vision-Language Models, Audio Language Models, or generative video models.
Nice to have
* PhD in Computer Vision, Machine Learning, NLP, Computer Science, Applied Statistics, or a closely related field
* Demonstrated expertise in computer vision, video generation foundation models and/or multimodal research.
* First-author publications at leading AI conferences such as CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, ICML, ICLR, NeurIPS, etc.
