Ai Research Engineer • Mid-Level

Who you are

You have a strong background in AI research, particularly in audio-visual generation models for conversational agents. Your experience includes working with generative models and you thrive in high-speed startup environments where experimentation is key. You are familiar with 3D graphics and have a solid understanding of Gaussian splatting techniques. Your knowledge extends to large-scale training setups, ensuring that you can handle complex model training processes effectively. You have a passion for pushing the boundaries of AI technology and enjoy seeing your research ship into production. You are also well-versed in software engineering best practices, which allows you to collaborate effectively with engineering teams.

Desirable

You have publications in top-tier venues such as CVPR, NeurIPS, BMVC, or ICASSP, showcasing your contributions to the field. Your familiarity with conversational agents and their interaction dynamics is a plus, as it aligns with Tavus's mission to create AI Humans that can engage in meaningful conversations. You are open to remote work within the U.S. or Europe, but you prefer to be based in San Francisco or London as the office opens soon.

What you'll do

In this role, you will research and develop cutting-edge audio-visual generation models that enhance the capabilities of conversational agents. Your focus will be on ensuring that verbal and non-verbal signals work seamlessly together, creating a more natural interaction experience. You will collaborate closely with other researchers and engineers to integrate your models into Tavus's AI systems, contributing to the development of AI Humans that can understand and respond to users with empathy. You will also be involved in experimenting with various generative models, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in human-computer interaction. Your work will directly impact the way users engage with AI, making it more accessible and effective.

What we offer

At Tavus, you will be part of a pioneering team that is shaping the future of human-computer interaction. We offer a collaborative work environment where your ideas and contributions are valued. You will have the opportunity to work on groundbreaking technology that has the potential to change lives. We provide competitive compensation and benefits, along with opportunities for professional growth and development. Join us in our mission to create AI Humans that can connect, understand, and act with empathy at scale.
