As a Research Sourcer, you'll build talent pipelines for elite researchers in AI, engage with hiring managers, and enhance sourcing strategies.
About Luma AI
Luma's mission is to build multimodal AI to expand human imagination and capabilities. We believe that multimodality is critical for intelligence. To go beyond language models and build more aware, capable and useful systems, the next step function change will come from vision. So we are working on training and scaling up multimodal foundation models for systems that can see and understand, show and explain, and eventually interact with our world to effect change.
As a Research Sourcer, you are a talent scout for the world’s most brilliant minds. You will support the hyper-growth of our Research team, covering the full spectrum of the talent ecosystem: Experienced Industry Hiring, University/PhD Hiring, and Conference-based Sourcing.
- Strategic Pipeline Building: Identify and engage elite researchers in areas like Diffusion Models, Transformers, Multimodality, and RL.
- Hyper-Growth Execution: Own the top-of-funnel for senior industry experts, PhD interns, and New Grad researchers.
- Conference Strategy: Support the sourcing and mapping for top AI conferences to build long-term relationships with the global research community.
- Collaborative Partnership: Work closely with Hiring Managers to calibrate on specific needs and build up the sourcing strategy along the team
- You have 0.5+ years of experience in technical sourcing or recruiting. We are open to "rising stars" with a high ceiling for growth.
- You have a solid understanding of the Foundational Model landscape (or a willingness to learn it faster than anyone else).
- You use data to track your progress, calibrate with Hiring Managers, and pivot your sourcing strategy based on real-time funnel health.
- You thrive in a "startup-speed" environment where you have to be proactive and build processes as you go.
What Sets You Apart (Bonus Points)
- You have the ability (or a fierce desire) to navigate ArXiv, Google Scholar, and OpenReview.
- You can translate Luma’s research goals into a compelling pitch, engaging experts in deep conversations about the future of Foundation Models.

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
