Don't See Your Role? (General Application) at Luma (Sf Bay Area, CA)Don't See Your Role? (General Application)

Palo Alto, CA (Hybrid) / London, UK (Hybrid) / Remote (Select Roles)

Luma is building multimodal AI to expand human imagination. We are a "full stack" intelligence lab - we train our own foundation models (like Ray 3), build our own products (like Dream Machine), and manage our own nation-state level infrastructure (Project Halo). We are in the "Goldilocks Zone": the agility of a ~100-person startup combined with the massive compute resources of a major lab.

Where You Come In We move faster than our job board. Often, the most critical roles - the ones inventing new UI primitives, solving 2GW compute scheduling, or defining the next GTM motion - are filled before we even write a job description. This is the Builder's Bench. By dropping your info here, you aren't just joining a mailing list; you are giving us the signal to fast-track you when the right zero-to-one opportunity opens.

Why Apply Here?

• Skip the Queue: We mine this pool before posting new roles publicly.
• Signal, Not Noise: Get updates on what we’re actually building - beta invites to new models, R&D demos, and technical deep dives - not corporate newsletters.
• Direct Line: Skip the standard resume screen. If your profile shows "high slope," you jump straight to technical chats.

We are always looking for "high agency" talent across our four core pillars: Research & ML Infrastructure

• The Mission: Training "World Models" on petascale multimodal data.
• Roles: Foundation Models, Post-Training (RLHF/DPO), Data Infrastructure, HPC/Supercomputing, Systems Research. Product Engineering
• The Mission: Changing careers from building SaaS to building "Intelligence Products".
• Roles: Full-Stack (Web/Editor), Mobile (iOS), Platform APIs, Quality & Test Automation.
• Litmus Test: We look for engineers who are already using AI agents to accelerate their own coding. Go-To-Market
• The Mission: Selling a transformation, not just a tool, to a Trillion Dollar TAM (Studios, Enterprise, Creative).
• Roles: Growth Marketing, Enterprise Sales, Community, Technical Support. Operations & Strategy
• The Mission: "Single-person departments" managing insane budgets and running the show.
• Roles: Finance, Legal, Recruiting, People Ops.

You Might Be a Fit If...

• You are "High Slope": We care more about your trajectory and rate of learning than years of experience.
• You Ship: You build scrappy 0→1 products or research prototypes and put them in front of users.
• You Obsess Over Quality: Whether it's "buttery-smooth" UI or model fidelity, you care about the details.
• You Show Your Work: Demos > Buzzwords. We want to see your GitHub, your papers, your side projects, or your portfolio.

How to Stand Out

• Drop the Generic Cover Letter: Tell us specifically which team excites you and why.
• Attach Evidence: Links to GitHub, portfolios, or Google Scholar profiles are worth 10x a resume.
• Be Direct: If you have a specific thesis on video generation or multimodal AI, let us know.
