Research Scientist at Genmo

At Genmo, we are building the future of creative intelligence. Our research lab is dedicated to developing open, state-of-the-art models for video generation, with the ultimate goal of unlocking the right brain of AGI. If you are passionate about pushing the boundaries of generative AI and want to help us shape the next generation of video technology, we want to hear from you.

Role at a glance

We are looking for a Senior Research Scientist to join our team on a full-time, on-site basis in the San Francisco Bay Area. This is a high-impact position for an experienced researcher who is ready to lead the charge on alignment and post-training techniques for our large-scale diffusion models.

Your impact

• Lead research initiatives focused on alignment and post-training methods to ensure our video models are high-quality, reliable, and strictly adhere to human intent.
• Architect and deploy supervised fine-tuning and reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) pipelines to refine model outputs.
• Build and maintain robust evaluation frameworks that measure safety, quality, and model alignment across our production systems.

What you'll need

To succeed in this role, you should be a deep thinker with a strong technical background and a passion for responsible AI development. We are looking for the following qualifications:

• A Ph.D. in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, or a closely related field.
• A proven publication record in top-tier conferences like NeurIPS, ICML, or ICLR, specifically within reinforcement learning, alignment, or generative models.
• Extensive hands-on experience with PyTorch and large-scale distributed training systems.
• Deep expertise in reinforcement learning, particularly RLHF, and a strong foundation in software engineering for complex, shared codebases.
• Fluency in English and the ability to communicate intricate technical concepts to cross-functional teams.
• Experience with diffusion models, human feedback data pipelines, and perceptual quality metrics is highly desirable.

Perks and compensation

We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive team. As an equal opportunity employer, we evaluate all candidates based on their skills and experience. By joining our team, you will have the opportunity to work at the cutting edge of generative AI and contribute to open-source projects that define the industry standard.
