Conversational Modelling Research Engineer

Tavus is hiring a remote Conversational Modelling Research Engineer to work on AI Humans and multimodal conversational models. The role focuses on researching large multimodal systems for conversational avatars, including improving how they handle speech and non-verbal behavior in real time with low delay. It also involves testing fine-tuning, adaptation, and conditioning methods to make audio-visual models more expressive, controllable, and useful for specific tasks, while working with the Applied ML team to move ideas into production. This role suits someone who enjoys fast-moving startup environments, experimentation, and seeing research deployed in real products.
