This is your chance to join a diverse group of innovators who are driven to redefine what’s possible in generative content. Together, we’re changing the paradigm from passive viewing to active participation, unlocking new creative frontiers across gaming, entertainment, education, and beyond. What you will be doing Build products based on real-time video, audio, and data streams. Translate research into production-ready services with high performance, low latency, and excellent user experience. Work closely with an international team of AI researchers and developers to push the boundaries of descriptive and generative video and audio models. Maintain high code quality and enforce best software development practices within the team. Define and implement best practices for model deployment while developing and managing Python-based microservices and APIs that integrate with GenAI models. Skills you need Strong experience in Python (async programming, multiprocessing, profiling, performance tuning). Solid understanding of video streaming and experience with real-time systems.
