Are you an Applied Research Scientist with a background in model fine-tuning, and looking to work in a fast growing start-up with a chance to obtain progression into management?

This is an incredible opportunity to join a start-up with 8 figure funding, where you will be able to work alongside passionate engineers and leading researchers to create groundbreaking and truly innovative technology.

My client is a seed stage company that is developing an AI-powered platform, that enables users to create dynamic character videos by transforming text, images, or voice inputs into animated content. Through its cutting-edge AI models, it enables the creation of lifelike and customizable human characters.

As an Applied Research Scientist, you will fine-tune pre-trained 3DVAE and video diffusion models, develop and implement strategies for efficient model adaptation, and assess and benchmark the performance of fine-tuned models using video generation-specific metrics.

This is great chance to join a well-funded start-up with strong momentum, in a role that allows you to work with top researchers and engineers, whilst developing a product with huge potential and benefiting from fast-tracked career progression.

The Role:

* Start-up with 8 figure seed funding and strong revenues

* Fine-tune pre-trained 3DVAE and video diffusion models,

* Design and apply strategies for efficient model adaptation, including data augmentation and transfer learning, to enhance performance.

* Analyze and benchmark the performance of fine-tuned models using video generation-specific metrics.

* Strong progression opportunities

The Person:

* Strong experience with 3DVAE and video diffusion models

* Experience with Python, PyTorch OR TensorFlow

* Master’s degree or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related field, with a focus on data-driven ML.
