About Linum

Over the next ten years, we're going to witness a shift in animation,
tv, and film similar to what we've seen with YouTube - where most
narrative content will be generated by everyday people.

At Linum, we're training state-of-the-art text-to-video models. These
models will serve as the foundation for a new suite of creative tools
that will allow anyone to become a modern day Walt Disney - bringing
their wildest dreams to the screen.

We shipped our first model in January 2024 and are now working on v2.
If you are passionate about tv/film and have a background in AI,
please consider applying.

About the role
Skills: Torch/PyTorch, Python

We're looking for a founding AI Engineer to join our team to support
our machine learning research and model training efforts.

You will work in the core loop of implementing research papers,
building datasets, training, and productizing. While most of the work
will focus on these areas, we are a small team - and you will have to
be flexible in picking up new skills as necessary. 

Responsibilities:

  * Prototype and scale datasets for model training 
  * Brainstorm and implement new model architectures
  * Optimize models for inference and production deployment

Ideally You:

  * Are extremely comfortable in Python & PyTorch
  * Have 2-3 years of industry experience as an Applied ML Engineer/
    Researcher or equivalent research experience (e.g. undergrad/
    master's research thesis)
  * Have some experience training generative AI models (doesn't have
    to be video but could be in adjacent domains like LLMs,
    text-to-image, text-to-3D, NERFs, etc.)
  * Have a Bachelor's or Master's degree in a quantitative field like
    Computer Science, Physics, Applied Math, or Statistics.

We're a big believer that small, in-person teams are the ones that
invent the future. We work out of Potrero Hill in San Francisco. Must
be based in SF or willing to relocate.
