Job Description:

Tavus is a research lab pioneering human computing. We’re building AI Humans: a new interface that closes the gap between people and machines, free from the friction of today’s systems. Our real-time human simulation models let machines see, hear, respond, and even look real—enabling meaningful, face-to-face conversations. AI Humans combine the emotional intelligence of humans with the reach and reliability of machines, making them capable, trusted agents available 24/7, in every language, on our terms. We’re looking for a Senior Researcher to join our core AI team. Our ideal partner-in-crime works well in startup environments, is comfortable prioritizing for themselves, and is always down to take calculated risks. We’re moving fast and not looking for people to come along for the ride - we’re looking for people to pave the path.

Job Responsibility:

  • Lead research efforts on generative video models (ex: Neural Avatar, Talking-Head, Lip-sync, and other low level computer vision topics)
  • Work with the Applied ML team to help productionize our research
  • Stay relevant with the latest advancements (and help us create the latest advancements!)

Requirements:

  • Be (at a minimum) a recent or soon-to-be PhD graduate, or someone with 2–3 years of hands-on experience applying diffusion models in practice
  • Have strong foundations in generative modeling, ideally with a focus on image or video synthesis, and a demonstrated ability to innovate rapidly through prototyping
  • Have deep experience with diffusion models (DDPMs, LDMs, etc.) for either image or video domains
  • Be fluent in PyTorch, and comfortable working with GPU-based inference
  • Show evidence of original research, with publications in top-tier or solid second-tier venues (e.g., CVPR, NeurIPS, BMVC)
  • Be excited about building lifelike, expressive avatars for real-time applications

Nice to have:

  • Skills in 3D graphics, Gaussian splatting, or large-scale training setups
  • Other, additional experience with generative models and rendering
  • PhD or equivalent experience preferred
  • Experience leading research teams
  • Knowledge of best practices in Software Development
What we offer:
  • Offers Equity
  • Flexible work schedule
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Competitive healthcare
  • Gear stipends
