Preferred Qualifications

• Proven track record of achieving significant results as demonstrated by grants, fellowships, patents, as well as first-authored publications at leading conferences (e.g., SIGGRAPH, CVPR, ECCV, ICCV, NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML) or journals (e.g., PAMI, IJCV, JMLR, ToG).
• Extensive experience in designing and developing computer vision or machine learning algorithms using popular machine learning frameworks (e.g PyTorch) in Python
• Experience in designing and developing computer graphics algorithms using OpenGL/Vulkan or other graphics API in C++ and shading languages.
• Experience is developing high performance extensions for machine learning frameworks (e.g PyTorch) in CUDA or other GPGPU API.
• Experience with neural rendering approaches, e.g. NeRF or volumetric rendering.
• Experience in 3D computer vision, graphics, and deep learning models for this domain.
• Demonstrated software engineer experience via an internship, work experience, coding competitions, or widely used contributions in open source repositories (e.g. GitHub)

Meta builds technologies that help people connect, find communities, and grow businesses. When Facebook launched in 2004, it changed the way people connect. Apps like Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp further empowered billions around the world. Now, Meta is moving beyond 2D screens toward immersive experiences like augmented and virtual reality to help build the next evolution in social technology. People who choose to build their careers by building with us at Meta help shape a future that will take us beyond what digital connection makes possible today—beyond the constraints of screens, the limits of distance, and even the rules of physics.
