● Develop tools for data visualisation, understanding, and exploration.

You’d be a great match for this role if:

● You have previous experience in world models, vision-language models, large language models, natural language processing, computer vision, 3D priors, SLAM, or robotics.

● You have solid software engineering fundamentals, especially in Python

● You have previously used PyTorch or a similar library for deep learning (e.g. Tensorflow, JAX). Experience with distributed training a plus.

● You are interested in using large scale datasets to improve embodied AI.

Essentials:

● You are currently pursuing a graduate degree in a Computer Science, Machine Learning, Robotics, or related technical field.

● You are proficient in at least one backend/systems programming language (e.g. Python, Ruby, Java, etc).
