What the job involves

- Your work will democratise the video creation process and bring the magic of video communication to areas of the enterprise not previously possible
- Think of it as an opportunity to enable a paradigm shift in video creation; today users find complexity and editing challenges, whereas we see a future where anyone can sit in the directors chair and bring a vision to life while removed from the day-to-day complexity of video production.
- Our platform is used by a community of passionate users, from freelancers, to content creators working in Fortune 500 companies

- You'll help us identify the use cases to prioritize for video creation and then build a unified creation experience that blends RAG, fine-tuned LLMs, and other ML-systems working in orchestration along with the features within our Editor
- You’ll shape a macro UX experience that shifts users away from the micro-level editing that is common in video production today wile owning the core creative experience
- You’ll find high agency, autonomy, and an opportunity for impact regardless of the product area
Our take
Video is an integral part of companies’ marketing strategies, and the adoption of synthetic media has grown in popularity. As organisations are investing in videos, startups are building platforms to support the process. Synthesia is an AI-powered video generation platform that saves enterprises up to 100x the cost and time of producing a video.
The company leverages deep learning to simulate real videos and real actors without the need for costly infrastructure like camera crews, actors, cameras, studios, and a lengthy post-production process. Synthesia’s first product STUDIO launched in public beta in the summer of 2020 and it is now used by 30,000+ companies, including the BBC, Teleperformance, Amazon, and Reuters.
Notably, Prof. Matthias Niessner, one of the co-founders of the company, is behind some of the most well-recognised research projects in the field Deep Video Portraits and Face2Face. The company's intuitive interface has grown to become the #1 rated video creation platform, proving its strong ability to capitalise on the growing AI in media market – which is estimated to be worth $99.48 Billion by 2030.
