Machine Learning Researcher

Job Description: We are seeking a Machine Learning Researcher to join our team and help advance the state of the art in human-centric generative video models. Your work will focus on improving expression control, lip synchronisation, and overall realism in models such as WAN and Hunyuan. You’ll collaborate with a world-class team of researchers and engineers to build systems that can generate lifelike talking-head videos from text, audio, or motion signals—pushing the boundaries of neural rendering and avatar animation. We are hiring remotely across the EMEA region. Key Responsibilities Research and develop cutting-edge generative video models, with a focus on controllable facial expression, head motion, and audio-driven lip synchronisation. Fine-tune and extend video diffusion models such as WAN and Hunyuan for better visual realism and audio-visual alignment. Design robust training pipelines and large-scale video/audio datasets tailored for talking-head synthesis. Explore techniques for controllable expression editing, multi-view consistency, and high-fidelity lip sync from speech or text prompts. Work closely with product and creative teams to ensure models meet quality and production constraints. Stay current with the latest research in video generation, speech-driven animation, and 3D-aware neural rendering. Must Haves Strong background in machine learning and deep learning, especially in generative models for video, vision, or speech. Hands-on experience with video synt
