the team behind BADAS, a state-of-the-art world model for driving.\nNexar’s research team is looking for a Senior AI Researcher to help us build models that understand real world driving, not only what is happening now, but what is likely to happen next, and build the next generation of road safety and autonomy.\nUsing one of the world’s largest and most unique driving video datasets, we built BADAS, a state-of-the-art world model for identifying dangerous situations on the road before an accident happens.\nOur dataset covers a vast range of roads, behaviors, conditions, and long tail events, allowing us to solve problems that are difficult to address using academic datasets or simulation alone.\nOur work includes:\nWorld Models and Video Foundation Models\n\nTrajectory and motion prediction\n\nBADAS, predicting risk and identifying dangerous situations before an accident\n\nDriving and evaluation in simulation and closed loop settings\n\nEmbeddings and semantic search across large scale video datasets\n\nSelf supervised learning from large amounts of unlabeled data\n\nWe are looking for a researcher who can take an open ended problem, turn it into a clear research question, and build a solution that works in the real world.\nThe role requires research depth, but also the ability to make decisions, focus on what matters, and move quickly from an idea to an experiment, and from an experiment to a system people can use.\nRESPONSIBILITIES\nLead research from early ideas to working models.\n\nDevelop new methods for video understanding, motion prediction, and risk prediction.\n\nWork with large scale datasets, simulation environments, and advanced training infrastructure.\n\nTurn real world needs into well defined research problems and measurable solutions.\n\nBalance long term exploration with results that need to work today.\n\nRun experiments at a fast pace, analyze failures, and change direction when needed.\n\nCollaborate closely with researchers, engineers, and cross functional teams.\n\nPublish and present research at leading academic conferences.\n\nREQUIREMENTS\nTechnical skills & qualifications \nSignificant research experience in Computer Vision, Machine Learning, or a related field.\n\nExperience in research, training and evaluation of large models.\n\nExperience in one or more of the following: video understanding, representation learning, world models, trajectory prediction, or autonomous driving.\n\nThe ability to lead independent research together with strong hands on implementation skills.\n\nA deeply agentic approach to work, using AI agents as an integral part of research, experimentation, analysis, and execution.\n\nStrong proficiency in Python and PyTorch.\n\nExperience training models and building reliable experimental pipelines.\n\nPeople skills & traits \nThe judgment to choose the right solution even when the problem, timeline, and constraints are not perfect.\n\nCuriosity, depth, pragmatism, and a strong desire to see research create impact beyond the lab.\n\nNice to have\nA PhD in a relevant field.\n\nPublications at conferences such as CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, NeurIPS, ICLR, or ICML.\n\nExperience with simulation, closed loop evaluation, retrieval, or distributed training.\n\nExperience turning research ideas into systems used in practice.\n\nWHAT WE OFFER\nThe chance to have a meaningful and positive impact on roads and cities’ safety\n\nFlexibility - in schedule, work location, benefits\n\nCompetitive compensation\n\nA fast-paced work environment full of kind, smart, and highly driven people\n\nGreat professional and personal growth opportunities\n\nRegular team-building events and well-being initiatives/facilities\n\nWHO WE ARE\nNexar is building the real-world intelligence platform powering the physical AI era. As machines move into the real world-from autonomous vehicles to robotics-they all face the same challenge: they cannot scale or operate safely without access to high-quality, real-world data. Nexar solves this by operating one of the largest naturalistic driving intelligence platforms globally, powered by a live network of hundreds of thousands of cameras and a rapidly growing dataset of safety-critical events.\nOur platform transforms this data into actionable intelligence used across multiple industries-from AV and ADAS to fleets, insurance, and public safety. By connecting real-world data supply with cross-industry demand, we enable organizations to better understand, benchmark, and improve how their systems perform in the real world. Every interaction strengthens the platform, making it smarter, more scalable, and increasingly valuable.\nWe’re building more than a product-we’re building the intelligence layer for the physical world. A platform that compounds with every mile driven, every dataset delivered, and every customer served.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4790,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"phd","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Growth opportunities"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Health & Medical Electronics","Video Surveillance"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-12T00:14:26Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":15,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.533,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":74,"expected_fill_days":36,"reasons":["conf:0","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-03T05:54:40Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/getnexar-senior-ai-researcher","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/getnexar-senior-ai-researcher.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-03T06:14:29Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":8645,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-04T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":684228},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=684228"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fgetnexar-senior-ai-researcher"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fgetnexar-senior-ai-researcher"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fgetnexar-senior-ai-researcher"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/getnexar-senior-ai-researcher\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fgetnexar-senior-ai-researcher"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":779551}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"getnexar.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":779551},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
