Job description

Machine Learn Engineer, Video Generation, We’re looking for an experienced Production ML Engineer to take ownership of our video synthesis pipeline. This is a hands-on, production-focused role where you’ll bring AI research to life at scale. You’ll work at the intersection of computer vision, ML infrastructure, and real-time systems, ensuring our digital humans run reliably, efficiently, and with ultra-low latency - without sacrificing visual quality.  What You’ll DoProduction Engineering (Core Focus)

  • Own production video synthesis services and deploy/optimize models for real-time performance
  • Reduce inference latency to meet a <2-second target for streaming conversations
  • Monitor and improve video quality metrics and debug production issues
  • Implement model versioning, A/B testing, and safe rollback procedures Integration & Optimization

  • Act as the bridge between AI research and production systems
  • Integrate new models into the existing pipeline
  • Design video synthesis APIs (gRPC, REST) and work with event-driven architectures
  • Optimize GPU utilization, implement caching strategies, and collaborate on service orchestration
  • Handle TTS integration services (Voice Connectors) Feature Development

  • Implement new visual features (expressiveness, movement, lip-sync improvements)
  • Support avatar customization capabilities
  • Production research enhancements into the real-time video pipeline Tech Stack

  • Python, PyTorch, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, GPU instances
  • gRPC services for streaming synthesis
  • S3, Redis, RabbitMQ, First 6 months - Ownership of core synthesis services with improved reliability and monitoring
  • Successful deployment of at least one research model into production
  • Measurable improvements in latency or video quality First 12 months - Streaming video delivery with 30-50% latency reduction

  • Production rollout of visual improvements (expressiveness, movement)
  • Recognized as the go-to production ML expert bridging research and deployment What We OfferCompensation & Flexibility

Requirements

  • 3-5 years of experience deploying ML/CV models to production (not just training)
  • Strong hands-on experience with PyTorch or TensorFlow
  • Practical optimization experience (quantization, pruning, model serving, GPU resource management)
  • Experience with video generation or real-time video processing and latency/quality trade-offs
  • Strong Python skills for backend services (FastAPI, Flask) and ML serving (TorchServe, ONNX Runtime)
  • Production infrastructure experience (Docker, AWS, CI/CD pipelines)
  • Strong debugging skills and ability to collaborate across research and backend teams Nice-to-Have

  • Experience with audio-driven avatars, face reenactment, GANs, Diffusion Models, or NeRFs
  • gRPC, RabbitMQ, Go, or video streaming protocols (HLS, WebRTC)
  • Publications or open-source contributions in computer vision, + A short motivation (3-5 sentences) covering: - Your experience deploying CV/video models to production
  • One project where you reduced inference latency
  • Why digital humans excite you

Benefits & conditions

  • End-to-end ownership of critical production systems
  • Unique role bridging cutting-edge CV research and real-world deployment
  • Challenging problems in real-time ML, latency optimization, and scalability
  • High-impact work in a small, senior team (12 people)
  • Opportunity to shape ML infrastructure as the company scales Additional Perks  Office in the center of Barcelona Work from anywhere  Lunch compensation when in the office Private health insurance with Alan Travel allowance (for team members living 10km+ from the office) Flexible benefits (tax-free under Spanish legislation)  ClassPass discount
