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.
