Miro is looking for a Lead Research Scientist to serve as the technical "North Star" for our Machine Learning organization. You will operate as a high-level Individual Contributor (Staff/Principal level), driving the architectural decisions behind the "Intelligent Canvas."

Your challenge is unique in the industry: You are not just processing text. You are building models that understand spatial relationships, visual diagrams, and unstructured collaboration. You will research, prototype, and ship novel architectures that combine Large Language Models (LLMs), Computer Vision, and Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) to make Miro the smartest collaboration platform on earth.

What you’ll do

• Pioneer Novel Architectures: Move beyond off-the-shelf APIs. You will design and train custom architectures that fuse multimodal inputs (text, sketches, diagrams, screenshots, code, etc.) into a unified representation of user intent.
• Bridge Theory and Production: You will read the latest papers (NeurIPS, ICLR, CVPR) on Monday and have a working prototype by Friday. You bridge the gap between academic theory and scalable, low-latency production systems.
• Define the Technical Strategy: While Managers define what we build, you define how we build it. You will make high-stakes decisions on model selection (e.g., Diffusion vs. Autoregressive), build vs. buy, and fine-tuning strategies (LoRA, Q-LoRA).
• Mentorship & Technical Excellence: You will elevate the entire ML research engineering organization by conducting rigorous code reviews,...
