Responsibilities
- - Develop and maintain large-scale, multimodal datasets for training and evaluating models
- - Optimize models for data preprocessing tasks
- - Create and run evaluations and benchmark analyses for datasets and models
- - Implement fast iteration cycles and feedback loops to continuously improve model datasets
- - Work with a world-class research team to push the boundaries of content creation
- - Evaluate new datasets and models for upstream data tasks that feed into our products
Required Skills
- - 4+ years of relevant experience in machine learning or dataset engineering, ideally with multimodal datasets
- - Experience with running and optimizing models offline at large scale
- - Excellent data modeling skills and experience with data curation
- - Proficiency in model finetuning and optimization for data preprocessing
- - Strong data analysis and SQL skills
- - Experience in creating evaluations and running benchmark analyses
- - Solid knowledge of at least one machine learning framework (e.g. PyTorch, JAX, TensorFlow)
- - Very strong programming skills and ability to write clean and maintainable code
- - Deep interest in building human-in-the-loop systems for creativity
- - Ability to rapidly prototype solutions and iterate on them with tight product deadlines
- - Strong familiarity with tools such as Ray, Kubernetes, Airflow, Prefect
- - Excellent communication, collaboration, and documentation skills
Benefits

About the company
Runway builds AI to simulate the world by merging art and science. Runway believes that world models represent the frontier of progress in artificial intelligence. Language models alone are insufficient to solve the world’s hardest problems—such as robotics, disease, and scientific discovery. Meaningful progress requires models that can experience the world and learn from their mistakes, in much the same way humans do. Runway focuses on accelerating this learning through simulation rather than real-world trial and error. By enabling rapid experimentation in simulated environments, world models provide a clear path toward general-purpose simulation and more capable AI systems. Runway operates offices in New York, San Francisco, Seattle, London, and Tel Aviv, with team members working remotely from around the world.
