You'll work on the applied side of research and directly impact solutions used by over 60,000 businesses.

What you'll do at [Employer hidden — sign up to reveal]:

• Adapt diffusion models to incorporate diverse conditioning signals (e.g., audio, motion, interaction cues).
• Develop methods for streaming infinitely long video sequences at real-time rates.
• Work on the perceptual layer of interactive agents, including understanding user audio and generating appropriate contextual reactions.
• Improve lip-sync accuracy, motion realism, and overall visual quality in video diffusion models.
• Build robust evaluation frameworks and test suites to enable continuous quality tracking.
• Collaborate closely with our data team to define data needs and ensure high-quality datasets.
• Stay up to date with research in world models, interactive human/agent modeling, diffusion models, and related areas.

What we're looking for:

• Comfortable owning and executing on the responsibilities listed above.
• Strong ML (e.g., diffusion, GANs, VAEs) and computer vision background with relevant industry experience.
• Hands-on experience with diffusion models (ideally avatar-centric or video-focused) and up to date with recent advances.
• Proficient in PyTorch and familiar with modern ML frameworks and tooling.
• Strong Python engineering skills, confident with git and version control, and a commitment to clean, maintainable research code.
• Outcome-driven, detail-oriented, and motivated to push state-of-the-art research into real product impact.
• Clear communicator of hypotheses, experiments, and results.

What will make you stand out:

• Experience with audio-conditioned video diffusion models and deep knowledge of recent video DiT architectures.
• Demonstrated ability to own the full model development pipeline end to end, from data preparation to model design, training, and evaluation.
• A strong publication record in areas such as world models, interactive agents, or video diffusion models.
