About the role

  • Develop and enhance rendering, perception and compositing systems
  • Design, fine-tune and implement advanced face detection, clustering, and compositing algorithms for DE long form pipelines.
  • Optimize and scale training and inference systems for high-volume video processing.
  • Translate research breakthroughs into robust, efficient production code.
  • Conduct rapid experiments on state-of-the-art architectures (Transformers, diffusion models, 3DGS) to improve robustness and accuracy.
  • Evaluate, benchmark, and document model performance against production metrics.
  • Identify and resolve bottlenecks in existing AI workflows.
  • Partner with Science, Engineering, and Product team members to ensure seamless integration of AI modules.
  • Mentor other scientists, engineers and Product folk and contribute to the technical roadmap for character prep & vubbing group.
  • Advocate for scalable, production-ready solutions that directly enhance user experience.

Requirements

  • Strong experience developing and applying computer vision or machine learning methods for visual understanding problems (e.g., face perception, motion/pose estimation, or video analysis).
  • OR
  • Experience developing neural rendering or 3D generation systems (e.g., novel view synthesis, scene reconstruction, or generative models for photorealistic rendering).
  • A strong product mindset — motivated by building systems that deliver tangible value to users, not just technical novelty.
  • Comfortable working at both the algorithmic and implementation levels, from model design and optimization to large-scale data processing and integration in production systems.
  • Proficiency in Python, with a strong foundation in computer science and problem-solving.
  • Expertise with deep learning frameworks (PyTorch) and vision tools (OpenCV).
  • MSc/PhD in Visual Computing, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
  • Hands-on experience with deep learning approaches such as Vision Transformers, GANs, diffusion models, VAEs, or emerging methods (e.g., 3DGS).
  • Bonus points for:
  • Experience developing multi-modal systems that integrate audio, text, and visual inputs.
  • Experience working with cross-functional product and engineering teams.

Benefits

  • Autonomy
  • A hybrid working environment
  • Competitive Salary
  • All permanent employees receive generous stock options
