Technical Lead, Multimodal Research
Eventual, San Francisco
The role
As Technical Lead, Multimodal Research, you’ll own the execution of our technical vision behind everything Eventual can understand about a video. Physical AI teams have video, lidar, radar, and sim outputs scattered across object stores with no way to find what they need without weeks of human annotation. Eventual runs vision/language models and pipelines over every clip in a corpus along axes the customer cares about (gripper type, failure mode, object class, scene, motion density), so a researcher can ask “left-arm grasp failures on deformable objects” and get a curated dataset in minutes.
You’ll decide which models, representations, and evaluation methods get us there, and prove them in production at petabyte scale, over hundreds of thousands of hours of video. This is a senior individual contributor role rather than a management one: you set research direction and make the architectural decisions, while staying hands-on with papers, models, and experiments.
