Job description
About the team
We are building Max VLM, a next-generation video foundation model designed to understand human activities, object interactions, and the physical world through first-person video.
Our mission is to develop intelligent video understanding systems that can accurately interpret complex real-world activities and turn continuous visual observations into structured, actionable information.
As a fast-moving startup team, we work across the entire machine learning lifecycle, from data collection and model training to evaluation, optimization, and production deployment. We combine state-of-the-art multimodal AI technologies with real-world data and practical engineering to build scalable, reliable, and efficient AI systems.
Project overview & technical challenges
Despite rapid advances in multimodal large language models, understanding real-world video remains a challenging problem. Existing systems often struggle with fine-grained activity recognition, temporal reasoning, long-video comprehension, and computational efficiency.
