Research Scientist, Real-Time DiT Video Models

Valka is a visionary spin-off from the Realms Group, focused on revolutionizing digital content creation through AI-driven interactive human-digital platforms. The company aims to enable real-time co-creation of content, blending imagination and reality across gaming, entertainment, education, and more.

Location: United States

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and optimize AI video generation models using diffusion techniques, with a focus on maintaining consistency, realism, and style.
• Develop and implement state-of-the-art algorithms for generating video content.
• Work closely with other teams on large-scale video datasets, including human motion and gestures, facial expressions, and scene context.
• Experiment with cutting-edge diffusion architectures for controllable and high-quality video synthesis.
• Define robust validation strategies and implement custom evaluation metrics comparing synthetic vs. real gameplay.
• Stay on the bleeding edge of the relevant literature, e.g., CVPR, NeurIPS, ICML, ICCV, and help to align it with our roadmap.

Requirements

• PhD in Computer Vision, Machine Learning, or a closely related field.
• Hands-on experience with research of video diffusion models.
• Strong research background in image or video synthesis demonstrated by having publications at top tier conferences such as CVPR, NeurIPS, ICCV, Siggraph, and ICML.
• Experience with real time video generation is a big plus.
• Proficiency in Python and ML frameworks such as PyTorch.
• Solid understanding of neural architectures or paradigms (CNNs, Transformers, diffusion models, autoregressive models etc.)
