TL;DR · Senior Manager, Interactive World Model Platforms

As the Senior Manager, Interactive World Model Platforms, you will lead an engineering team to transform research-driven technologies like OmniDreams and FlashDreams into a robust, production-ready platform ecosystem. You will be responsible for scaling the engineering team, establishing production paths for interactive world models in autonomous vehicles, robotics, rendering, and simulation, while overseeing architecture, CI/CD, performance, and release management. The role requires deep technical fluency in ML primitives including diffusion or flow-matching models, autoregressive video generation, Gaussian splatting, NeRFs, and neural reconstruction. You will bridge the gap between research breakthroughs and reliable developer tools, fostering a growing open-source community. Ideal candidates possess extensive experience in neural rendering, video diffusion, and building scalable products from research-stage systems to solve complex problems in interactive simulation and production-ready machine learning infrastructure.

What you'll do

  • Scale the engineering team building the interactive world-model platform across OmniDreams and FlashDreams technologies.
  • Establish production engineering paths for world models in autonomous vehicles, rendering, robotics, and simulation.
  • Build architecture and processes to convert fast-paced research into reliable, developer-facing software.
  • Own product excellence including performance, scalability, reliability, developer experience, and release management.
  • Partner with internal teams to translate research breakthroughs into production-ready platform capabilities.
  • Grow the open developer and research ecosystem surrounding NVIDIA's world-model stack.

What we're looking for

  • Demonstrated research or applied innovation in world models, video diffusion, neural rendering, Gaussian splatting/NeRFs, or robotics.
  • Technical fluency in ML primitives including diffusion, flow-matching, autoregressive video generation, and neural reconstruction.
  • Experience turning research-stage systems into dependable, scalable products.
  • 5+ years of experience leading teams.
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience.
  • Results-focused leadership to manage processes, timelines, and quality standards.
  • Experience building developer ecosystems or research communities around open-source projects.
