Who are we
On a mission to make video easy for anyone …
Synthesia is the world’s #1 AI video generation platform. Well, it’s actually a video production studio — in a browser. As in, no cameras or film crews at all. You simply choose an avatar, enter your script in one of 60 languages, and your video is ready in minutes. In Synthesia, you can build personalised on-the-fly videos, give your chatbot a human face or run 24/7 weather channels in different languages, to name just a few of the possibilities. 🎬
We believe the future of media is synthetic, and we are on a mission to turn cameras into code and make everyone a creator. Not sure what we’re talking about? Check out our brand video that explains what we’re doing at Synthesia in a way that even our grandparents \*kind of \* understand what this AI video stuff is all about.
About the position
We're recruiting a DevOps Engineer to come and work with our Product and Engineering and Research and Development teams to help them deliver software faster and more reliably. Our Product and Engineering team builds and ships our customer-facing product Sythesia STUDIO. Our Research and Development department is working on the avatars, using the latest AI and ML technics.
You would be working closely with these two teams, helping to build out and maintain product infrastructure, build and deploy systems, monitoring and alerting tooling, and working to help bring new services online.
Supporting our Research group will involve getting to grips with the emerging field of MLOps. As we grow even further, you will face ever more complex challenges with scaling and everything that comes with that.

- You have a good level of spoken and written English;
