AI Research Scientist

Description

At Tavus, we're defining the next frontier of personalized video experiences using generative AI.  We're a Series A startup that has raised over $25M from Sequoia, YCombinator and other top valley firms. Our mission is to enable scalable hyper-personalization of videos using best-in-class AI models. In the time it would take you to record one video, we can generate thousands of you hyper-personalized for each of your viewers.

We’re looking for an experienced AI Researcher to join our core AI team. Our ideal partner-in-crime works well in startup environments, is comfortable prioritizing for themselves, and is always down to take calculated risks. We’re moving fast and not looking for people to come along for the ride - we’re looking for people to pave the path.

• Lead research efforts on generative video models (ex: Neural Avatar, Talking-Head, Lip-sync, and other low level computer vision topics)
• Work with the Applied ML team to help productionize our research
• Stay relevant with the latest advancements (and help us create the latest advancements!)

Requirements

• Academic or industry experience with facial animation or talking-head
• Experience working with video - specifically NeRF, super-resolution, video diffusion
• Demonstrated capability to structure research projects to meet industry goals and timelines
• Past publications in relevant topics

Additionally, having some of the following experiences may help you be successful in this position:

• PhD or equivalent experience preferred
• Experience leading research teams
• Knowledge of best practices in Software Development

Please note that this position is preferably hybrid in San Francisco and we offer relocation. However we are open to remote candidates as well.
