AI Research Scientist - MSL FAIR Foundations

Meta
Menlo Park, CA

About the job

Meta is seeking Research Scientists to join the Evaluations team within Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL). Evaluations are the core of AI progress at MSL, determining what capabilities get built, which features get prioritized, and how fast our models improve. As a Research Scientist, you will provide the technical capabilities to measure and understand the capabilities of our frontier AI systems. You'll work in tandem with world-class researchers to envision, develop, and validate novel evaluations that shape the future of AI capability measurement.

Responsibilities

Curate and integrate publicly available and internal benchmarks to direct the capabilities of frontier model development

Develop and implement evaluation environments, including environments for novel model capabilities and modalities

Collaborate with external data vendors to source and prepare high-quality evaluation datasets

Execute on the technical vision of research scientists designing new benchmarks and evaluations

Build robust, reusable evaluation pipelines that scale across multiple model lines and product areas

Contribute to evaluation tooling that measures the quality and reliability of evaluation suites

Qualifications

Minimum

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience

PhD degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related technical field

3+ years of experience in machine learning engineering, machine learning research, or a related technical role

Proficiency in Python and experience with ML frameworks such as PyTorch

Experience identifying, designing and completing medium to large technical features independently, without guidance

Proven success in software engineering practices including version control, testing, and code review practices

Ability to work independently and adapt to rapidly changing priorities

Preferred

Publications at peer-reviewed venues (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL, EMNLP, or similar) related to language model evaluation, benchmarking, or deep learning

Hands-on experience with language model post-training and deep learning systems, or building reinforcement learning environments

Experience implementing or developing evaluation benchmarks for large language models and multimodal models (e.g., vision-language, audio, video)

Experience working with large-scale distributed systems and data pipelines

Familiarity with language model evaluation frameworks and metrics

Track record of open-source contributions to ML evaluation tools or benchmarks
