World Labs is a spatial intelligence company, building frontier models that can perceive, generate, and interact with the 3D world. Backed by NEA and a16z.
About the role
We are looking for a talented Research Scientist with a strong background in generative modeling, particularly diffusion models, to join our modeling team. This role is ideal for candidates with deep expertise in diffusion models applied to images, videos, or 3D assets and scenes. While not required , experience in one or more of the following areas is a strong plus :
What they're looking for
- 3+ years of experience in generative modeling or applied ML roles, ideally at a startup or other fast-paced research environment
- Extensive experience with machine learning frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow, especially in the context of diffusion models and other generative models
- Deep expertise in at least one area of generative modeling: pre-training, post-training, diffusion distillation, fine-tuning with new conditioning signals, etc for diffusion models
- Strong history of publications or open-source contributions involving large-scale diffusion models
- Strong coding proficiency in Python and experience with GPU-accelerated computing
- Ability to engage effectively with researchers and cross-functional teams, clearly translating complex technical ideas into actionable tasks and outcomes
