About Thinking Machines

The mission of Thinking Machines is to build AI that extends human will and judgment. We are training frontier models with Inkling, developing Tinker to let people make models their own, and crafting interfaces that broaden human-AI communication. We believe the future worth building is human, and we're hiring people who want to build it.

About the Role

Thinking Machines builds multimodal-first. We’re looking for new team members to advance the science of visual perception and multimodal learning. We think about how vision and language interact at scale. We design architectures that fuse pixels and text, build datasets and evaluation methods that test real-world comprehension, and develop representations that let models ground abstract concepts in the physical world. Our goal is to create multimodal systems that support seamless integration into real-world environments.

You’ll work at the intersection of visual understanding, multimodal reasoning, and large-scale model training. You’ll help develop the architectures, data, and evaluation tools that teach AI to see, understand, and collaborate. The best candidate is curious about multimodal interfaces, has experience running large scale experiments and is comfortable contributing to complex engineering systems. While we are looking for a person with expertise in multi
