As a Staff Backend Engineer, you will work on the core systems powering Avatars and Generative Media, one of the most critical areas of Synthesia's product.
You will take ownership of the system design and architecture behind avatars, ensuring it remains scalable, reliable, and extensible as the product evolves.
You will design systems that support complex product requirements such as avatar versions, sharing across users and organisations, personalisation, and integration with voice and video pipelines.
You will play a key role in ensuring avatars function as a first-class entity across the platform, working closely with multiple teams to define how avatars are created, stored, and used throughout the product.
You will be responsible for evolving systems that sit on a critical path for video generation, where reliability, latency, and consistency directly impact the end-user experience.
You will collaborate closely with:
- Product and design to ensure system decisions align with user needs
- R&D teams to integrate model capabilities into production systems
- Adjacent product teams such as Voices and Video Generation to ensure seamless integration
You will take a long-term view of the system, ensuring that what is built today can support future iterations, increased scale, and new product capabilities.
You will act as a technical steward for the codebase, helping maintain high standards for structure, maintainability, and extensibility as the system grows.
In this role, you will have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI technology and contribute to the development of a leading AI video platform.
