Overview

Welcome to the video first world. From your everyday PowerPoint presentations to Hollywood movies, AI will transform the way we create and consume content. Today, people want to watch and listen, not read — both at home and at work. If you’re reading this and nodding, check out our brand video.


Despite the clear preference for video, communication and knowledge sharing in the business environment are still dominated by text, largely because high-quality video production remains complex and challenging to scale—until now…


Meet Synthesia. We’re on a mission to make video easy for everyone. Born in an AI lab, our AI video communications platform simplifies the entire video production process, making it easy for everyone, regardless of skill level, to create, collaborate, and share high-quality videos. We enable large organizations to communicate and share knowledge through video quickly and efficiently. We’re trusted by leading brands and have a growing community of users.


What you’ll do at Synthesia

  • Design, build, and deploy production-grade AI agents using frameworks such as OpenAI Agents SDK
  • Own architectural components within the Copilot project, ensuring modular, scalable, and maintainable designs
  • Implement new features quickly to improve user experience and unblock the team as we iterate
  • Collaborate closely with researchers and engineers to integrate LLMs into complex, multi-agent systems
  • Write clean, efficient, and tested code following best engineering practices
  • Optimize and maintain agent pipelines from prototype to production
  • Spread good practices around scalable agentic system design and AI software engineering

Who you are

  • You have a background in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
  • You have 6+ years of experience in software engineering with at least 3+ years of experience in ML/AI engineering or NLP-related software development.
  • You are an engineer at heart, you enjoy building working systems more than writing research papers.
  • You have strong Python skills and experience in building and maintaining production systems.
  • You have hands-on experience with agentic frameworks such as OpenAI Agents SDK, LangChain, CrewAI, or LangGraph.
  • You’ve built and deployed real time multi-agent applications that are deployed to and tested by real users.
  • You communicate clearly and work well in small, fast-paced teams.

Nice to have

  • Experience using or fine-tuning LLMs (directly or via APIs).
  • Comfort with cloud environments (AWS, GCP) and Docker.

Collaboration

  • You’ll work closely with the Copilot Team, a cross-functional group of engineers and researchers.
  • You’ll own key architectural aspects of the system while collaborating daily on design, implementation, and deployment.
  • Success means empowering others with your engineering expertise and improving how the whole team builds and scales agents.

Why join us?

We’re building the future of AI-driven learning. Our instructional design agents are transforming how educational content is created—from course outlines and writing to visuals, interactivity, and immersive roleplay scenarios. You’ll work alongside world-class engineers and researchers to make high-quality education creation accessible to everyone.

How Many AI Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an AI Job?

If you are job hunting in AI right now it can feel like you are drowning in tools. Every week there is a new framework, a new “must-learn” platform or a new productivity app that everyone on LinkedIn seems to be using. The result is predictable: job seekers panic-learn a long list of tools without actually getting better at delivering outcomes. Here is the truth most hiring managers will quietly agree with. They do not hire you because you know 27 tools. They hire you because you can solve a problem, communicate trade-offs, ship something reliable and improve it with feedback. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many AI tools do you actually need to know? For most AI job seekers: fewer than you think. You need a tight core toolkit plus a role-specific layer. Everything else is optional. This guide breaks it down clearly, gives you a simple framework to choose what to learn and shows you how to present your toolset on your CV, portfolio and interviews.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in AI Job Applications (UK Guide)

Hiring managers do not start by reading your CV line-by-line. They scan for signals. In AI roles especially, they are looking for proof that you can ship, learn fast, communicate clearly & work safely with data and systems. The best applications make those signals obvious in the first 10–20 seconds. This guide breaks down what hiring managers typically look for first in AI applications in the UK market, how to present it on your CV, LinkedIn & portfolio, and the most common reasons strong candidates get overlooked. Use it as a checklist to tighten your application before you click apply.

The Skills Gap in AI Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept. It is already reshaping how businesses operate, how decisions are made, and how entire industries compete. From finance and healthcare to retail, manufacturing, defence, and climate science, AI is embedded in critical systems across the UK economy. Yet despite unprecedented demand for AI talent, employers continue to report severe recruitment challenges. Vacancies remain open for months. Salaries rise year on year. Candidates with impressive academic credentials often fail technical interviews. At the heart of this disconnect lies a growing and uncomfortable truth: Universities are not fully preparing graduates for real-world AI jobs. This article explores the AI skills gap in depth—what is missing from many university programmes, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build a successful career in artificial intelligence.
