Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Runway is building AI to simulate the world through merging art and science. The Research Engineer, Data Foundations will own the data behind the models, designing datasets, running modeling experiments, and building the infrastructure to generate and curate data at scale.
Responsibilities
- Design multimodal, multitask datasets that teach world models new capabilities — deciding what data to collect, generate, or curate and measuring its effect on model behavior
- Run controlled training experiments to understand how data composition drives model performance across tasks and domains
- Build and operate large-scale pipelines for synthetic data generation, filtering, and quality control
- Define evaluations and benchmarks that measure whether our models are actually improving at the things that matter
- Partner with product and creative teams to translate target behaviors and capabilities into concrete data strategies
Skills
- 4+ years of experience in machine learning, bonus points for data-centric approaches
- Experience with large multimodal datasets and generative models (video, image, or multimodal)
- Deep intuition for how data composition and quality translate to model capabilities
- Comfort working across the full research stack: data analysis, dataset creation, model training, evaluation, and back again
- Proficiency with at least one ML framework (e.g. PyTorch, JAX) and distributed compute tools (e.g. Ray, Kubernetes)
- Excitement about building AI that simulates the world
