As foundation models move from answering questions to acting over long horizons, memory becomes a central requirement. Systems must decide what is worth keeping and improve from experience. Large context windows and retrieval systems are not enough. You will work with researchers on projects across the company that require memory in different modalities to define general solutions that enable models to represent experience, decide what they keep and what they discard, and to efficiently store, retrieve and exploit memory.
