Applied AI Researcher

About the Role

Join a small research and engineering team working on AI for synthetic media detection, media forensics, and digital fraud prevention. You will combine rigorous research with hands-on implementation to develop approaches that address practical digital trust and security challenges.

What You'll Do

- Investigate methods for deepfake detection, synthetic media analysis, and fraud prevention.

- Read, assess, and reproduce research, then identify approaches for further development.

- Design experiments, establish baselines, and evaluate models on realistic data.

- Implement research ideas and collaborate with engineering to bring successful methods into production.

- Analyze failure cases and improve model reliability, generalization, and computational efficiency.

- Document findings and contribute to research papers and technical writing.

- Work with team leaders to prioritize research around practical user needs.

What We're Looking For

- Strong foundations in machine learning, experimental design, and model evaluation.

- Experience building, training, and evaluating models with modern machine learning tools.

- A track record of translating research into working software and shipped production code.

- Ability to critically assess research papers, design experiments, and clearly communicate findings.

- Evidence of research and engineering ability through publications, shipped systems, open-source work, or substantial applied projects.

- Experience in computer vision, audio processing, multimodal learning, media forensics, adversarial robustness, or model deployment under latency and reliability constraints is valuable.

- Comfort taking ownership of open-ended problems in a small team.
