We are looking for a Senior Research Scientist to take up an full time role with us; we are seeking a Scientist who has experience with (applied) research in industry settings to join our growing Research & Generative AI team and assist in expanding our technology stack.
Synativ is a tech first company and our core product offerings are driven by state-of-the-art innovation. Your role entails following the latest research in the field & engaging with the research community to explore and implement new directions in generative AI which can lead to valuable capabilities for our customers. Join us to build the future of generative AI beyond Stable Diffusion.
What are we building?
Synativ helps ML engineers and scientists to generate the images they need to improve training of their computer vision models - think of us as Stable Diffusion for engineers. We harness the power of generative AI to allow engineers to quickly and efficiently acquire missing data without resorting to manual data collection and labelling.
As a researcher at the University of Oxford, our CTO contributed to developing this technology during its early days and we are excited to take it to market as it continues to mature. We are backed by an incredible investor, Sequoia Capital, and are excited to expand our technology & team on this journey.
