AI Researcher (Multimodal Audio/Video Generation)

We’re hiring a Senior AI Researcher to lead research in audio-visual avatar generation. This role is for someone who thrives in ambiguity, has a track record of pushing generative models to new frontiers, and wants to define what human–AI interaction looks like in practice.

Responsibilities

Lead research efforts on audio-visual generation for avatars (Neural Avatars, Talking-Heads), with a focus on conversational settings; Design models that are coupled with conversation flow — capturing and generating verbal + non-verbal signals in sync; Drive innovation in diffusion models, long-video generation, and audio-visual modeling; Translate research into production by partnering with Applied ML and engineering; Mentor researchers, set research directions, and publish impactful work.

Requirements

A PhD or equivalent research experience, plus 2–3+ years of hands-on experience applying generative models at scale; Expertise in diffusion models and awareness of the latest efficiency techniques; Experience in multimodal generation — spanning video, audio, and language; Proven innovation in long-video generation and/or audio generation; Excellent programming skills — fluent in PyTorch and GPU-optimized workflows; Track record of publications in top-tier venues (CVPR, NeurIPS, BMVC, ICASSP, etc.); Experience leading research activities or mentoring teams.

Nice to have

Skills in 3D graphics; Gaussian splatting; large-scale training setups; Broad exposure to generative AI models beyond your specialty; Familiarity with software development best practices.
