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.

• 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.

You’ll bring

• A PhD or equivalent research experience, plus 2–3+ years of hands-on experience applying generative models at scale.
