Experience
Compensation
At Luma, the Realtime Interactive team is responsible for building an entirely new paradigm for generated content, allowing users to interact with a model’s outputs as they are being generated. The team works closely with the Fundamental Research, Data, and Performance Optimization teams to train fast and efficient realtime models as World Simulators and beyond.
- Work on top of pretrained multimodal generative models to fine-tune and optimize them for realtime generation
- Design novel algorithms and techniques to solve problems with autoregressive visual generation, long-range temporal consistency, and long-term memory
- Develop interactive applications with tight latency constraints
- Process data to develop advanced interactive capabilities and controls for World Modeling, such as controlling character and camera movement, audio, and more
- Experience with fine-tuning large-scale generative models
- Proficiency in PyTorch and distributed training frameworks
- (Preferred) Strong background in methods for optimizing model inference (distillation, quantization, sparsity, compression, etc.)
- (Preferred) Experience in gathering, processing, and annotating datasets
The base pay range for this role is $187,500 – $395,000 per year.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
