Remote Data Scientist (Gen AI)

Description:

• We are seeking a highly skilled and independent Data Scientist with 4-10 years of experience to join our team on a contractual basis (3-12 months).
• The focus of this role will be on advancing our generative AI capabilities, particularly in content creation pipelines.
• Responsibilities include developing and optimizing generative AI models for audio generation and lip-sync, ensuring high fidelity and natural delivery.
• The candidate will extend current language models to support regional languages beyond US/UK English for audio and content generation.
• Implementing features for emotional delivery in audio (e.g., shouting, crying) to enhance realism is also required.
• The role involves integrating and synchronizing background scores seamlessly with generated video content.
• The candidate will work towards achieving video quality standards comparable to VO3/Sora.
• Conducting fine-tuning of Flux models on existing generative datasets is part of the responsibilities.
• Ensuring consistency in scenes and character generation across multiple outputs is essential.
• The candidate will design and implement an automated evaluation framework to replace manual review processes.
• Developing robust filters for pre-screening content (cover images, video frames, audio) before human review is required.
• The role demands driving initiatives independently, showcasing high agency and accountability.
• A research-first approach with rapid experimentation in the fast-evolving Generative AI space is expected.
• Strong first-principle thinking to tackle complex challenges is necessary.

Requirements:

• The candidate must have 4-10 years of experience in Data Science, with a strong focus on Generative AI.
• Proven expertise in developing and deploying models for audio and video generation is required.
• Demonstrated experience with natural language processing (NLP), especially for regional language adaptation, is essential.
• Familiarity with state-of-the-art models in generative AI (e.g., Flux, diffusion models, GANs) is necessary.
• Experience with model fine-tuning and optimization techniques is required.
• Some experience in ML deployments and FastAPI is preferred.
• Strong programming skills in Python and relevant deep learning frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch) are essential.
• Experience in designing and implementing automated evaluation metrics for generative content is required.
• A portfolio or demonstrable experience in projects related to content generation, lip-sync, or emotional AI is a plus.
• The candidate must have the ability to work independently, with an initial commitment to on-site work in Bengaluru.
• Exceptional problem-solving skills and a proactive approach to research and experimentation are necessary.

Benefits:

• The position offers a best-in-class salary, as we hire only the best and pay accordingly.
• Employees will have the opportunity to participate in Proximity Talks, where they can meet other designers, engineers, and product geeks, and learn from experts in the field.
• The role provides a chance to keep on learning with a world-class team, working with the best in the field, challenging oneself constantly, and learning something new every day.
