Research Scientist (Generative Modeling)

About World Labs :

We build foundational world models that can perceive, generate, reason, and interact with the 3D world - unlocking AI's full potential through spatial intelligence by transforming seeing into doing, perceiving into reasoning, and imagining into creating.

We believe spatial intelligence will unlock new forms of storytelling, creativity, design, simulation, and immersive experiences across both virtual and physical worlds.

We bring together a world-class team, united by a shared curiosity, passion, and deep backgrounds in technology - from AI research to systems engineering to product design - creating a tight feedback loop between our cutting-edge research and products that empower our users.

Role Overview

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 :

Large-scale model training Research in 3D computer vision

You will collaborate closely with researchers, engineers, and product teams to bring advanced 3D modeling and machine learning techniques into real-world applications, ensuring that our technology remains at the forefront of visual innovation. This role involves significant hands-on research and engineering work, driving projects from conceptualization through to production deployment.

Key Responsibilities
