- Familiarity with distributed computing frameworks (e.g., Ray, Spark, Beam)
- Ability to design and optimize data pipelines for ML research and internal teams
- Strong problem-solving skills and understanding of data engineering at scale
- Collaborative, product-focused mindset; comfortable in fast-paced environments
- Experience sourcing, integrating, and optimizing data from diverse and large datasets
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, product-focused environment with a strong execution mindset
- Open to candidates across seniority levels, from mid-level individual contributors to senior engineers and managers.
Nice to have
- Prior experience working with complex data infrastructure or AI/ML platforms highly desirable
- Experience with open source data infrastructure projects is a plus
Luma’s mission is to build unified general intelligence that can generate, understand, and operate in the physical world.
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.

What you need to know about the Calgary Tech Scene
Employees can spend up to one-third of their life at work, so choosing the right company is crucial, not just for the job itself but for the company culture as well. While startups often offer dynamic culture and growth opportunities, large corporations provide benefits like career development and networking, especially appealing to recent graduates. Fortunately, Calgary stands out as a hub for both, recognized as one of Startup Genome's Top 100 Emerging Ecosystems, while also playing host to a number of multinational enterprises. In Calgary, job seekers can find a wide range of opportunities.
