AI Research Scientist, Visual Coding - MSL FAIR
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Nov 8, 2026. First seen by Alion on Nov 2, 2026. Meta scores B on the Alion truth index.
Our team contributes across all stages of development (pre-training, mid-training, post-training) and all multimodal modalities (image, video, audio, 3D). We are tackling complex challenges at trillion-scale, including organic data curation, synthetic data generation, agent and interaction data, visual code generation, agent post-training, and frontier paradigms that redefine what is possible.
Based in Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL) within the Fundamental AI Research Organization (FAIR), you will directly contribute to Meta's frontier models and collaborate with scientists and engineers across MSL.
Responsibilities
Apply specialized expertise in visual code generation for 3D, web, and game environments Execute on high-priority projects in pre-training, mid-training, or post-training data curation and evaluation development Collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop Meta’s next foundational models Lead complex technical projects end-to-end
Qualifications
