Software Engineer (ML)

At Tavus, we're at the forefront of AI generative video technology, offering advanced APIs to developers and product teams. Our cutting-edge models enable a wide range of applications, from text-to-video with AI avatars to real-time interactions, powering innovation across industries like video communication, marketing, sales, education, and more. As a Series A startup backed by $25m from top investors including Sequoia, Y Combinator, and Scale VC, we are gearing up for our next growth phase.

We're looking for an experienced ML-focused Software Engineer to work with the applied ML team. Our ideal partner-in-crime works well in startup environments, is comfortable wearing many hats, 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.

Your Mission 🚀 • Develop new features for Tavus utilizing computer vision and NLP models • Take ownership of some key ML Ops items such as testing, CI/CD, or data processing pipelines • Design and test new experiments to improve our core generative AI models • Improve our existing technical foundations, and influence our technical direction and strategy

Requirements: • Self starter with a "get-stuff-done" attitude, highly motivated, and eager to learn • At least 2-3 years of industry experience in software development or adjacent positions • Deep experience with Python and PyTorch • Knowledgeable about video processing or video streaming • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills

Additionally, having some of the following experiences may help you be successful in this position: • Infrastructure and architecture experience (dev-ops, ml-ops) • Experience developing low-latency applications (algorithm optimization, threading, multiprocessing, queue systems) • Have trained or fine-tuned your own LLM • Experience implementing research papers • Have played Portal 1 and 2 (if not you'll need to play as part of onboarding 😄)

Benefits: When you join Tavus, you're joining a family. Our work is driven by our team, and our success is shared by all. This position has a flexible work schedule, unlimited PTO, competitive healthcare and gear stipends, as well as, of course, plenty of fun! At the end of the day, we want Tavus to be a place for you to learn, directly drive impact, and be with a team you love.

We are not looking for cultural fits, we are looking for culture creators. In fact, diversity is what drives our success – it's at the core of how we hire, communicate, and work. We are inclusive to all and combine our diverse backgrounds, skill sets, and thinking to build the best experiences for our clients.
