In 2023, we were one of 7 European companies to reach unicorn status. In February 2024, G2 named us as the fastest growing company in the world. We've raised over $150M in funding from top-tier investors, including Accel, Nvidia, Kleiner Perkins, Google and top founders and operators including Stripe, Datadog, Miro, Webflow, and Facebook.

The Assisted Creation product is central to that mission. It further simplifies video creation by building an AI-based co-pilot for Synthesia. Our goal is to provide users, regardless of their prior video editing experience, with intuitive tools that ensure their success on our platform. To get started, users only need to supply an initial idea, which we turn into a video draft in seconds. Our solution uses a modern machine-learning stack based on LLMs, LVMs, embeddings, and more.

The NLP team is part of the R&D team and is responsible for prototyping solutions for longer term challenges that involve language understanding.

  1. Developing ML models, data processing pipelines, evaluation, and making sure that the solutions are deployable to the product.
  2. Evaluating your work, and leveraging our data pipeline and frameworks that we have established to understand the impact your features have on our commercial objectives and pivoting where necessary.
  3. Breaking down a problem into small steps that can be delivered and validated iteratively is important.

  2. You have 5+ years of experience working in machine learning with experience in NLP.
  3. You have experience building performant ML-based applications.
  4. Experience with CV and Diffusion models is a plus.
  5. Experience collaborating with Product Managers (cross-team collaboration).
  6. And most importantly... You have excellent verbal and written communication skills in English and you are passionate about what you do!

  4. Pension + Healthcare
  5. Work in a great company culture with the option to join regular planning and socials at our hubs, and company retreats
