Mirage is seeking a Research Scientist specializing in LLMs to advance large language models for multimodal creative tasks, with a focus on video. This role involves developing novel training approaches, designing new objectives, and exploring multimodal reasoning to improve model capabilities and reliability.
About the role
About the Role
Mirage is seeking a Research Scientist to push the boundaries of large language models for multimodal creative tasks. You’ll develop new approaches for adapting and extending LLMs to understand and operate over complex, real-world data, particularly video. This role focuses on advancing model capabilities, improving reasoning and control, and enabling new forms of interaction between language and time-based media.
Responsibilities
- Develop novel approaches for training and adapting large language models
- Design new objectives, datasets, and fine-tuning strategies
- Explore multimodal reasoning and structured generation
- Run systematic experiments to improve model behavior and reliability
- Design evaluation frameworks for complex, real-world tasks in video analysis
- Analyze failure modes and iterate on model improvements
What makes you a great fit
- MS/PhD in ML, CS, or related field
- Strong track record in LLMs, NLP, video understanding, or multimodal learning
- Deep understanding of transformers and modern LLM techniques
- Experience with fine-tuning, alignment, or post-training methods, especially for adapting models to generate structured outputs
- Strong experimental rigor and research taste
