Applied AI Research Scientist Lead, Generative AI Full-time

The Generative AI Org at Meta is seeking strong AI Research Scientists to join our team and work on the next generation of LLM. As a Research Scientist of our team, you will play a critical role in building Meta AI. We have the opportunity to help people everywhere get stuff done better and faster. This year we launched Meta AI in our chat apps and on Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses, bringing our assistant to more people. We will continue investing here to improve usability and model quality, while also innovating in select new domains. We will be building an assistant that is social, more capable, more personal, and more ubiquitous. As an Applied Research Scientist in Generative AI, you have the opportunity to help push state of the art research, build industry leading foundation models, and bring them to products to impact billions of users.
