Present | Ethical Deepfakes | Remote | Principal Engineer (AI)
Our app lets people show their best selves in video chat and even create videos as friends &amp; celebrities (with permission). We are unlocking video chat for the next billion by using AI to synthesize video on the local device without sending any pixels over the internet (patent-pending), resulting in a 100x reduction in bandwidth &amp; cost versus traditional video streaming.
We are hiring 2 Principal Engineers to help us build a general image synthesis model for realtime video reconstruction of any human face, using deep learning.
Open to candidates located within a 1 hour flight from the Bay Area (Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego). In lieu of an office, we host monthly “onsites” both the Bay Area and at ”destinations” like Lake Tahoe &amp; Laguna Beach.
