## Description

About World Labs:
We build foundational world models that can perceive, generate, reason, and interact with the 3D world — unlocking AI's full potential through spatial intelligence by transforming seeing into doing, perceiving into reasoning, and imagining into creating. We believe spatial intelligence will unlock new forms of storytelling, creativity, design, simulation, and immersive experiences across both virtual and physical worlds. We bring together a world-class team, united by a shared curiosity, passion, and deep backgrounds in technology — from AI research to systems engineering to product design — creating a tight feedback loop between our cutting-edge research and products that empower our users.
Role Overview
We are looking for a Performance Engineer to make World Labs’ models train and serve as fast as the hardware allows.
Running large generative world models at scale is a novel systems problem. You will find the bottlenecks — in kernels, in the serving path, in the training loop, in how we use our GPUs — and eliminate them. Your ownership is technical and concrete: the throughput you unlock, the latency you cut, the utilization you win back, and the correctness you hold while doing it. You will work up and down the stack, from low-level tensor and kernel optimization to fleet-wide serving efficiency, in close partnership with the researchers whose models you are accelerating.
