Join Canva’s Beijing AI team to develop frontier language and multimodal generative models using high-performance GPU clusters and high-quality datasets. You’ll collaborate with research, engineering, and product teams to bring research advances into products that empower hundreds of millions of users.
What you’ll do
Define and lead research initiatives in LLM / VLM pre-training and multimodal generation, informed by frontier research and product needs.
Design and run large-scale training experiments, analyze results, and improve model capabilities, training efficiency, and stability.
Explore model architectures, training methods, post-training and reinforcement learning algorithms, and high-quality synthetic data pipelines.
Collaborate across teams to bring models into production and share findings through technical documentation, publications, and presentations.
Core pre-training expertise gained on teams such as Qwen, Kimi, GLM, or DeepSeek.
Experience with autoregressive or diffusion models for text-to-image, video, or 3D generation.
Deep expertise in multimodal architectures, pre-training data, reinforcement learning, or synthetic data.
