Netflix is looking to enhance and support the vision of creators of movies, TV shows, and other multimedia work by researching and developing core algorithms and models that will be incorporated into the tools used by content creators throughout the production lifecycle. This aims to increase member value, drive efficiency in content creation, and ultimately create more joy for viewers.
Requirements
- Research experience with a successful track record of delivering quality results and/or academic publications in top ML, CV, CG, or NLP venues
- Deep familiarity with modern generative model architectures, including diffusion models (e.g., MMDiT) and/or autoregressive models (e.g., GPT-style).
- Experience with the full stack of model development: data curation, annotation/captioning, distributed training, post-training techniques (e.g., fine-tuning, RL), and/or robust evaluation.
- Expertise in designing and training deep learning (DL) architectures for media understanding and generation, with a broad understanding of DL methods and literature
- Deep mathematical skills with knowledge of statistical methods and optimization
- Extensive experience with DL frameworks such as Tensorflow or PyTorch
- Strong programming skills in languages such as Python, Java, or C++
Responsibilities
- Design, train/post-train/fine-tune, and evaluate foundational algorithmic solutions with applications in a variety of domains in the VFX, animation, and games space, pushing forward the state of the art in CV as needed
- Develop reusable foundational components and best practices, such as dataset curation, large-scale training, and post-training processes, which can be used by other scientists and engineers across teams
- Work cross-functionally with engineers, scientists, artists, and product leaders to help identify and prioritize strategic research investment opportunities and problem requirements
- Expand technical depth and domain expertise into new/adjacent areas as the business needs and the state of technology evolve
Other
- Great interpersonal skills for collaboration with technical and non-technical partners
- Advanced degree in Computer Science or related field
- Inclusion is a Netflix value and we strive to host a meaningful interview experience for all candidates.
- If you want an accommodation/adjustment for a disability or any other reason during the hiring process, please send a request to your recruiting partner.
- We are an equal-opportunity employer and celebrate diversity, recognizing that diversity builds stronger teams.
