Senior Applied Research Engineer - Video

Remote · EuropeSalary not disclosedfull-timeSynthesia Careers

As an Applied Research Engineer in our Video team, you will help build the next generation of production-grade foundation models for human-centric video generation. You will join a highly focused team working at the intersection of large-scale generative modeling, distributed systems, and production engineering.

Responsibilities

  • You will own and execute end-to-end research and engineering projects, from hypothesis to production impact. This includes
  • Developing and scaling latent video diffusion models tailored for human-centric video generation
  • Designing conditioning mechanisms to improve control (pose, emotion, script, camera) without sacrificing fidelity
  • Advancing distributed training strategies (DDP, FSDP, DeepSpeed, sequence parallelism) under real compute constraints
  • Improving training stability at multi-node scale
  • Designing rigorous evaluation frameworks combining automated metrics and structured human evaluation
  • Optimizing inference for low latency, high resolution, and cost efficiency
  • Running controlled ablations and experiments to drive high-signal modeling decisions
  • Contributing to high engineering standards: reproducibility, experiment tracking, CI/CD, monitoring
  • You will be expected to move fast, run multiple hypotheses in parallel, identify signal early, and focus on outcomes rather than exploration for its own sake.
