Research Scientist - LTX Video

Lightricks, an AI-first company, is revolutionising how visual content is created. With a mission to bridge the gap between imagination and creation through AI technology, we bring cutting-edge products to the creative and business spaces. Our advanced AI photo and video generation models, including our open-source LTX-2 model, power our apps and platforms: Facetune, LTX, LTX Scaler, Photoleap, and Videoleap, enabling creators and brands to leverage the latest research breakthroughs, offering endless control over their creative potential. Our influencer marketing platform, Popular Pays, provides influencers with the ability to scale their content and monetise their work, while offering brands opportunities to expand their reach through tailored creator partnerships.

The role involves expanding our efforts to develop cutting-edge video generation models and hiring Research Scientists to join our LTX-2 Core team. At Lightricks, we’ve been at the forefront of innovation in text-to-image and text-to-video generation, with LTX-2 driving our flagship product, LTX, and gaining significant traction in the research and open-source communities, including integrations with platforms like ComfyUI and Diffusers. This role focuses on pioneering model architecture and pre-training algorithms, shaping the next generation of our foundational generative AI models.

What you will be doing:

• Pre-train and fine-tune video and image generative models to pursue state-of-the-art results.
• Publish papers and open-source models to benefit the research community and advance the field.
• Design and implement machine learning models for text-to-video generation.
• Collaborate with data engineers to curate and preprocess text and video data.
• Optimise models for high performance, ensuring efficiency in training and inference phases.
• Build new controls and capabilities into generative text-to-video models.
• Stay updated with the latest developments in Generative AI, particularly in the fields of image, video, and audio.
• Work closely with product teams to integrate AI models into applications and services.
• Conduct experiments and prototype new concepts to advance the capabilities of our AI tools.

Your skills and experience:
