About the job
Senior Machine Learning Engineer – Generative AI & Avatar Animation | Los Angeles/San Francisco
I’m hiring right now for an AI avatar technology company building the visual and embodiment layer for AI. The team is developing next-generation AI-driven animation systems that bring intelligent digital personas to life through generative motion, multimodal AI, and real-time character behavior. Their platform powers AI companions, NPCs, creators, gaming, entertainment, and enterprise use cases, combining cutting-edge machine learning with advanced avatar technology already being deployed at scale today.
They’re looking for deeply technical, product-minded ML engineers who thrive solving open-ended generative AI problems; engineers comfortable owning systems end-to-end, working across research and production, and shipping high-performance AI systems that create believable, expressive avatar motion in real-world products.
What they’re looking for:
- 7+ years building and deploying machine learning systems into production
- Strong experience across generative AI, multimodal systems, motion synthesis, or animation technologies
- Hands-on experience with diffusion models, transformers, VAEs, GANs, or related generative architectures
- Strong software engineering skills with Python, PyTorch, and scalable ML infrastructure
- Experience working with multimodal data including text, audio, video, or motion systems
- High-ownership engineers who can take ideas from research → deployed production systems
- Background in animation systems, motion data, computer graphics, or avatar technologies strongly preferred
Important details:
- Based in Los Angeles/San Francisco
- Hybrid environment with strong in-person collaboration
- $180K-$270K base + equity
