• Growing opportunities — based on your preference you can grow in the company as a people manager or as an individual contributor. 
• An environment that fosters innovation and creativity, a culture with the ability to pilot new trends

You will

• Research and develop novel state-of-the-art computer vision algorithms. Topics include but are not limited to generative AI with diffusion and autoregressive models, video generation/editing, inpainting, and super-resolution.
• Create and implement non-standard, fresh, and creative scientific ideas to improve or speed up existing technologies.
• Push the ideas to improve the quality of designed models specified by the product requirements.
• Support and justify new ideas with a theoretical and intuitive basis.
• Collaborate with product managers and be highly involved in the usage of the research in the product.
• Follow up and support the development of models in an end-to-end manner: from design to production.
• Analyse, Interpret and explain outcomes of non-trivial experiments.
• Analyse the data used in experiments, understand the subtleties of it, and modify appropriately if necessary.
• Communicate with data and product teams, write clear and understandable research requirement documents.
• Collaborate with other scientists, exchange novel and interesting ideas, and reflect these ideas in the research process.

About you
