Multimodal ML Engineer

We're looking for a Multimodal ML Engineer to join White Circle, an AI Safety company building the safety, reliability, and optimization layer for AI systems through natural-language policies it automatically tests, enforces, and improves at scale. Backed by $70M (Series A) from top funds and senior leaders at OpenAI, Anthropic, HuggingFace, Mistral, DeepMind, and others, White Circle processes 100M+ API calls monthly and fine-tunes and trains its own LLMs to run faster and cheaper than open or proprietary models.

You will

• Train and fine-tune large-scale multimodal models (vision-language, audio, speech, video) from scratch and from pretrained checkpoints.

• Design experiments, build multimodal data pipelines, and train MoE architectures.

• Build alignment pipelines (SFT, DPO, GRPO), optimize for production (quantization, distillation, streaming), and deploy end-to-end.

• Define evaluation metrics that actually matter for the product.

Requirements

• 3+ years training large-scale multimodal models.

• Strong PyTorch and distributed training experience (DeepSpeed, FSDP).

• Deep familiarity with multimodal architectures – LLaVA, Qwen-VL, InternVL, Audio Flamingo, Whisper, HuBERT, Conformer or similar.

• Hands-on RLHF/alignment across modalities (GRPO, DPO, reward modeling).

• Both audio and video experience required – sequence modeling for each, plus large-scale dataset curation and production inference optimization.

• Relocation to Paris or London (hybrid) required.

Bonus

• Audio signal processing fundamentals – spectrograms, mel features, noise reduction.

• MoE architecture experience.

We offer

• Competitive salary + equity.

• Official employment, visa and relocation help.
