Growth Opportunities

Responsibilities

Using data from wearable devices, employ state-of-the-art AI algorithms to infer human behavior patterns that inform attention, cognition or emotion. Examples include longitudinal gaze behaviors, gestures, or vocal cues

Develop data collection strategies, benchmarks, and metrics to validate and improve efficiency, scalability, and stability of these models

Collaborate with researchers and engineers across diverse disciplines through all stages of project development to identify gaps, build solutions, and transfer technology

Contribute to research that can eventually be applied to Meta products and services and run on billions of media items every day

Create tools, infrastructure, and documentation to accelerate research

Perform code reviews that improve software engineering quality

Learn constantly, dive into new areas with unfamiliar technologies, and embrace the ambiguity of Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality problem solving
