About the role

Three-month onsite internship in Singapore focused on next-generation video models, with a mentored research/engineering project and potential conference submission.

Responsibilities

  • Develop reward models to improve aesthetics, motion quality, temporal consistency, and prompt adherence
  • Study how base-model behavior affects post-training outcomes and inform model development
  • Design rigorous evaluations and conduct large-scale experiments on generative video models
  • Build systems for ingesting, preprocessing, curating, and delivering large-scale video datasets
  • Develop distributed pipelines for dataset generation, deduplication, preprocessing, and repeated dataset refreshes
  • Improve the reliability, reproducibility, and efficiency of data and model-training workflows
  • Build tooling for video and multimodal data using technologies such as FFmpeg, PyAV, DALI, or OpenCV
  • Contribute to evaluation harnesses, model integrations, research tooling, or other product-adjacent projects related to your core work
  • Document and communicate findings through research reports, internal presentations, demonstrations, and potential conference submissions

Qualifications

  • Pursuing a bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, engineering, machine learning, or a related field
  • Experience building data pipelines, ML infrastructure, or distributed systems through research, coursework, open-source contributions, or previous internships
  • Familiar with tools such as Ray, PySpark, Airflow, Docker, Kubernetes, or equivalent technologies
  • Have worked with cloud storage or compute platforms such as AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure
  • Understand practical considerations around data throughput, storage layout, caching, monitoring, and failure recovery
  • Proficient in Python and interested in building reliable systems for large-scale machine learning
  • Experience with video, image, audio, or other multimodal data is valuable
  • Publications at leading venues are a plus but not required
