Don't See Your Role? (General Application) at Luma AI – Palo Alto, California

Palo Alto, CA (Hybrid) / London, UK (Hybrid) / Remote (Select Roles)
About Luma AILuma is building multimodal AI to expand human imagination. We are a "full stack" intelligence lab - we train our own foundation models (like Ray 3), build our own products (like Dream Machine), and manage our own nation-state level infrastructure (Project Halo). We are in the "Goldilocks Zone": the agility of a ~100-person startup combined with the massive compute resources of a major lab.
Where You Come InWe move faster than our job board. Often, the most critical roles - the ones inventing new UI primitives, solving 2GW compute scheduling, or defining the next GTM motion - are filled before we even write a job description.This is the Builder's Bench. By dropping your info here, you aren't just joining a mailing list; you are giving us the signal to fast-track you when the right zero-to-one opportunity opens.
Why Apply Here?

• Skip the Queue: We mine this pool before posting new roles publicly.
• Signal, Not Noise: Get updates on what we’re actually building - beta invites to new models, R&D demos, and technical deep dives - not corporate newsletters.
• Direct Line: Skip the standard resume screen. If your profile shows "high slope," you jump straight to technical chats.

Who We Are Scouting ForWe are always looking for "high agency" talent across our four core pillars:Research & ML Infrastructure

• You are "High Slope": We care more about your trajectory and rate of learning than years of experience.
• You Ship: You build scrappy 0→1 products or research prototypes and put them in front of users.
• You Obsess Over Quality: Whether it's "buttery-smooth" UI or model fidelity, you care about the details.
• You Show Your Work: Demos > Buzzwords. We want to see your GitHub, your papers, your side projects, or your portfolio.
