Applied AI Researcher

The posting, as Clera wrote it

ABOUT THE ROLE

Join a small research and engineering team working on AI for synthetic media detection, media forensics, and digital fraud prevention. You will combine rigorous research with hands-on implementation to develop approaches that address practical digital trust and security challenges.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Investigate methods for deepfake detection, synthetic media analysis, and fraud prevention.
• Read, assess, and reproduce research, then identify approaches for further development.
• Design experiments, establish baselines, and evaluate models on realistic data.
• Implement research ideas and collaborate with engineering to bring successful methods into production.
• Analyze failure cases and improve model reliability, generalization, and computational efficiency.
• Document findings and contribute to research papers and technical writing.
• Work with team leaders to prioritize research around practical user needs.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• Strong foundations in machine learning, experimental design, and model evaluation.
• Experience building, training, and evaluating models with modern machine learning tools.
• A track record of translating research into working software and shipped production code.
• Ability to critically assess research papers, design experiments, and clearly communicate findings.
• Evidence of research and engineering ability through publications, shipped systems, open-source work, or substantial applied projects.
• Experience in computer vision, audio processing, multimodal learning, media forensics, adversarial robustness, or model deployment under latency and reliability constraints is valuable.
• Comfort taking ownership of open-ended problems in a small team.
