<p><strong>What You'll Do</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Build and lead a world-class applied research team</strong>, hiring and mentoring researchers who excel at the intersection of deep learning theory and production engineering.</li>
<li><strong>Define the research roadmap to support the "Intelligent Canvas,"</strong> identifying opportunities to model complex user behaviors—from multi-user collaboration on an infinite canvas, to multi-format AI-powered generation (e.g. slide deck, technical diagram, web app prototypes, etc.), and more.</li>
<li><strong>Pioneer research on unique spatial datasets.</strong> Unlike standard text/image corpuses, you will explore massive <strong>multimodal and graph-based datasets</strong>, uncovering how teams organize information spatially and collaborate together to solve complex multi-modal problems.</li>
<li><strong>Drive the "Research-to-Product" velocity.</strong> You will create the framework for rapidly testing foundation models (e.g., GPT-4, Llama, Stable Diffusion) and fine-tuning them for specific domain tasks (e.g. prototype generation, diagram generation, mindmap generation).</li>
<li><strong>Cultivate a culture of scientific rigor.</strong> Encourage the team to stay at the cutting edge (NeurIPS, CVPR) while maintaining a relentless focus on shipping features that delight users.</li>
<li><strong>Partner with Engineering &amp; Product Leadership</strong> to translate abstract AI capabilities into intuitive solutions that feel like magic to our users.</li>
<li><strong>Architect organizational processes</strong> for model governance, ensuring rigorous evaluation frameworks, reproducibility, and ethical AI practices.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What We're Looking For</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Proven track record of technical leadership:</strong> 2+ years of experience managing high-performing Applied Science or ML Engineering teams in a product-led tech company or top-tier research lab.</li>
<li><strong>Multimodal &amp; GenAI Depth:</strong> You don't just use APIs; you understand the architecture of Transformers, Diffusion models, and Graph Neural Networks (GNNs). You can guide a team through the complexities of <strong>fine-tuning</strong> and <strong>RAG</strong> at scale.</li>
<li><strong>A "Product-First" Researcher:</strong> You understand that accuracy metrics (F1, AUC) are proxies, not goals. You prioritize user value and latency constraints in production.</li>
<li><strong>Curiosity for the "Unsolved":</strong> You are excited by the ambiguity of modeling "collaboration." How do you quantify a "good brainstorm"? How do you autocomplete a flowchart?</li>
<li><strong>Strategic Communication:</strong> You can articulate the difference between "hype" and "utility" to executive stakeholders and align research efforts with Miro’s long-term strategy.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Education + Experience</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Option A:</strong> PhD in Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, or related field + 2+ years of people management experience.</li>
<li><strong>Option B:</strong> Master’s degree or equivalent deep technical experience + 5+ years of industry experience in ML, including 2+ years of people management.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Bonus (Nice-to-Have)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>A portfolio of research contributions</strong>, including publications in top-tier conferences (NeurIPS, ICLR, KDD) or impactful technical blog posts.</li>
<li>Familiarity with the modern <strong>MLOps stack</strong> and experience guiding teams in building their own research infrastructure.</li>
</ul>
