Miro is the online workspace for innovation, used by 100M+ people to build the next big thing.
We are seeking a Research Manager to lead the team defining the brain behind the "Intelligent Canvas.
" This is not for building a standard GenAI or Recommendation engine.
You will lead a team operating at the intersection of Vision, Language, and Graph Theory, working with a dataset unlike any other in the industry: spatial, unstructured, and deeply human collaboration data.
You will bridge the gap between open-ended research (LLMs, Diffusion Models, GNNs) and product impact, empowering teams to dream, design, and build faster.
What You'll Do Build and lead a world-class applied research team, hiring and mentoring researchers who excel at the intersection of deep learning theory and production engineering.
Define the research roadmap to support the "Intelligent Canvas," identifying opportunities to model complex user behaviors—from multi-user collaboration on an infinite canvas, to multi-format AI-powered generation (e.
slide deck, technical diagram, web app prototypes, etc.
), and more.
Pioneer research on unique spatial datasets.
Unlike standard text/image corpuses, you will explore massive multimodal and graph-based datasets, uncovering how teams organize information spatially and collaborate together to solve complex multi-modal problems.
Drive the "Research-to-Product" velocity.
You will create the framework for rapidly testing foundation models (e.
, GPT-4, Llama, Stable Diffusion) and fine-tuning them for specific domain tasks (e.
prototype generation, diagram generation, mindmap generation).
Cultivate a culture of scientific rigor.
Encourage the team to stay at the cutting edge (NeurIPS, CVPR) while maintaining a relentless focus on shipping features that delight users.
Partner with Engineering & Product Leadership to translate abstract AI capabilities into intuitive solutions that feel like magic to our users.
Architect organizational processes for model go.
