Meta's Reality Labs is working to bring people together through advanced Augmented and Virtual reality products. With a focus on research and development in areas like computer vision, machine learning, and haptics, RL is committed to driving innovation forward. The potential for AR/VR to change the way we interact with each other is immense. As a CV/ML engineer, you will be responsible for understanding and improving Codec Avatar Machine Learning (ML) pipelines (training, inference, visualization and evaluation), partnering closely with research scientists and engineers across a large organization to translate cutting edge research software, algorithms and models into product-ready features. The kind of pipelines we work on include Sapiens (State of the Art for human-centric tasks) and various unpublished and unshipped SOTA research pipelines to do with Codec (i.e. hyperrealistic ) avatars.

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.
