    Job description

    About the Role

    Join a small research and engineering team at a digital trust and security startup. You will develop and evaluate AI methods for synthetic media detection and fraud prevention, translating research into reliable product capabilities.

    What You'll Do

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

    • Read and reproduce research, then identify approaches with potential for practical development.

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

    • Implement research ideas and collaborate with engineering to bring effective methods into production.

    • Analyze failures and improve model reliability, generalization, and computational efficiency.

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

    • Work with team leadership to prioritize research around practical customer problems.

    What We're Looking For

    • At least 3 years of experience training deep learning models with PyTorch, including taking at least one model from concept to production.

    • An MS or PhD in computer science, electrical engineering, or a related field, or equivalent research experience.

    • Strong machine learning foundations and experience building, training, and evaluating models.

    • Computer vision knowledge, including CNNs, vision transformers, and their tradeoffs at small parameter counts.

    • Experience in at least one relevant area: synthetic media detection, image or video forensics, audio spoofing detection, generative models, or adversarial robustness.

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

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

    • Experience deploying models with real-world latency and reliability constraints is valuable.

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

    Compensation & Benefits

    Base salary is flexible based on experience and candidacy. The package includes a performance bonus and 0.25% to 1% equity. Visa sponsorship is available.

    Location

    On-site in New York, New York.
