Job Summary

About the Role/Specialty
As an MLE on the Video Effects stream youll design train and deploy advanced ML models for real-time AV applications. This is a hybrid role combining product engineering and ML research with a focus on pushing the boundaries of whats possible with generative models computer vision and edge inference. Youll work closely with researchers and engineers to turn ideas into scalable high-performance features.

What youll do (responsibilities)

  • Design train and deploy ML models for real-time video processing and audio-visual workflows with a focus on entertainment contexts such as TV film and games.

  • Build and optimise video engineering pipelines using techniques like streaming processing GPU acceleration and quantization for mobile and edge platforms.

  • Apply computer graphics OpenGL/OpenGLES GLSL and shaders to accelerate visual effects (VFX) rendering and real-time ML inference.

  • Develop and scale MLOps pipelines and orchestration tailored for AV-focused and visual effects production workflows.

  • Collaborate with research teams on applying diffusion models generative ML and computer vision techniques to creative use cases such as video synthesis virtual production and content enhancement.

  • Prototype and evaluate cutting-edge ML and graphics approaches bridging research and production to deliver impactful user-facing features.

  • Stay on top of industry trends in VFX video processing and multimedia ML driving innovation for creative tools in entertainment.


Qualifications :

What were looking for

Were looking for an MLE with both technical depth and creative instinct someone who thrives in fast-moving cross-disciplinary environments. Youll bring:

  • Proven experience in computer vision especially deploying models in production for real-time or streaming scenarios.

  • Expertise in deep learning for generative media (e.g. diffusion models GANs video synthesis) applied to video graphics or entertainment workflows.

  • Practical skills in real-time processing: GPU optimisation quantization pruning and shader-based acceleration.

  • Hands-on knowledge of computer graphics frameworks including OpenGL OpenGLES GLSL and shaders with experience applying them in rendering video effects or interactive systems.

  • Familiarity with visual effects (VFX) pipelines video post-production or real-time graphics for film television or games.

  • Proficiency in MLOps scalable inference and AV-focused ML training workflows.

  • A balance of research curiosity and product mindset able to rapidly turn ideas into impactful features.

  • Passion for building ML-powered features that enhance visual storytelling and creativity.
