We are looking for a full-stack scientist to pioneer quantitative research efforts at Udio.
You will build at the intersection of research, engineering and product, bridging disciplines by drawing on huge, one-of-a-kind proprietary datasets of music, metadata and user interactions/feedback. Working closely with the modeling team, product leadership and the music evaluation manager, you will apply your research toward pushing the frontier of music generation, setting a course through a bleeding-edge product category and unlocking new revenues for artists and experiences for fans.
Design & own evaluation/optimization frameworks for frontier music models
You’ll dive deep under the hood of our music generation systems, applying computational & human resources to understand model capabilities and identify areas for growth. You’ll build optimization loops and apply your findings to our pretraining, post-training and inference systems as applicable.
Drive product & research roadmap
You’ll own our data roadmap end-to-end, formulating research questions, exploring/linking/expanding data sources and conducting experiments at your discretion. Your work will span data mining, machine learning, causal inference, survey design and more, and your results will be critical for decision-making in product development, research investment and overall business direction.
Build stable infrastructure
Your work will reach far beyond the jupyter kernel, manifesting in robust integrations with our research & product tech stacks, potentially in performance-critical paths. You’ll also build large-scale standalone data processing systems, allocating resources as needed to manage the data ecosystem.
Champion scientific rigor
As our first quantitative researcher, you’ll cultivate a culture of scientific rigor across the company and deepen common understanding of models, users and data. You’ll proactively identify opportunities, define metrics, share results, and build a rigorous foundation upon which to understand our highly subjective domain.
Udio’s success hinges on hiring great people and creating an environment where we can be happy, feel challenged, and do our best work.
