The Opportunity

At Luma AI, we believe multimodality is critical for intelligence. We are a full-stack lab, training foundational models and building the products that utilize them. We offer the rare opportunity to work with the resources of a massive corporation while maintaining the speed and impact of an elite engineering team.
