What you'll do

• Develop repeatable, scalable audio/video dataset curation pipelines and lip sync model training workflows across multiple datasets
• Train, fine-tune, and manage audio/video and lip sync model variants as model dependencies, data, and architectures evolve
• Incorporate new datasets and model updates as they become available
• Design, automate, and maintain audio/video datasets and lip sync metric testing pipelines
• Generate new quantitative and qualitative metrics to evaluate audio/video and lip sync quality
• Produce comparisons, visualizations, and analyses to inform research and product decisions
• Partner closely with audio/video and lip sync researchers to support ongoing and future research initiatives
• Validate audio/video and lip sync quality to improve out-of-the-box approval rates and reduce downstream cost and iteration time
• Collaborate with Science, Engineering, and Product teams to align research outputs with company goals

What the employer is looking for

• MSc OR PhD + Industry experience working in the domains of Audio processing, 3D Computer Vision, Speech Synthesis, Computer Graphics, or other multimodal related fields such as text/audio, or audio/visual.
• Proficiency in Python, with a strong foundation in computer science and problem-solving.
• Expertise with deep learning frameworks (PyTorch) and vision tools (OpenCV).
• A strong product mindset — motivated by building systems that deliver tangible value to users, not just technical novelty.
