AI Research

The Reality Labs team at Meta is looking for Research Scientists to join our teams as we build towards our goal to transform the way people come together to interact, work, play and live. We explore, develop and deliver cutting-edge technologies that serve as the foundations for the current and future Reality Labs products, such as MR headsets, AR and Smart glasses, and AI assistants. We are committed to driving the state-of-the-art forward through continuous innovation.

With your in-depth subject-matter knowledge in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, particularly in areas such as Deep Learning, Real-world Sensing and Multimodal Signal Processing, Behavior Understanding, Vision Language Models you will help us develop models, algorithms, datasets, and evaluation methodologies for foundational human understanding technologies to facilitate new and engaging user experiences, and apply them to large-scale production that has the potential to reach billions of users.

If you're interested in being part of a team of industry-leading engineers and researchers committed to quality and innovation to work on exciting projects that have significant impact, we encourage you to apply.
