Research Scientist - Voice AI Foundations
DeepgramFull Time
Mid-level (3 to 4 years), Senior (5 to 8 years)
Candidates should have a PhD or 2-3 years of experience applying diffusion models, with strong foundations in generative modeling, especially image or video synthesis. Deep experience with diffusion models (DDPMs, LDMs) for image or video domains is required, along with fluency in PyTorch and comfort with GPU-based inference. Evidence of original research through publications in top-tier or solid second-tier venues (e.g., CVPR, NeurIPS, BMVC) is necessary. Experience with 3D graphics, Gaussian splatting, large-scale training, leading research teams, and software development best practices are considered advantageous. A passion for building lifelike, expressive avatars for real-time applications is essential.
The AI Researcher will lead research efforts on generative video models, including Neural Avatar, Talking-Head, and Lip-sync technologies, as well as other low-level computer vision topics. They will collaborate with the Applied ML team to productionize research findings and stay current with, and contribute to, the latest advancements in the field.
