We are seeking AI Researchers to join the Product and Applied Research (PAR) Media group within Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL). As a member of the PAR Media group, you will drive innovation in image and video understanding, generation, and narrative creation at an unprecedented scale. We own the research, development and deployment of cutting edge multimodal models across Meta AI, FoA, and the entire Meta creator and developer ecosystem. Our work directly powers product roadmaps with flexible, state-of-the-art solutions designed to lead, not follow. We partner closely with AI product teams across Meta to translate our research into impactful, real-world experiences. This means we're not just building technology...we're building the future of how people create, communicate, and connect. If you're passionate about advancing the future of AI-driven media experiences and eager to make a tangible impact on billions of users, we invite you to join us on this journey.

About Meta

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.
