Machine Learning Engineer (Realistic Avatars) in ProtoQ

We’re a motivated team building hyper-realistic avatars that move, talk, and interact like real people. Think digital humans that don’t feel robotic. We’re mixing machine learning, computer vision, and a bit of magic to get there — and we’re looking for someone who’s excited to work on our projects.

What you’ll do: 

• Train and fine-tune models for facial expressions, lip sync, and natural movement.
• Build ML pipelines that turn raw data into responsive, lifelike avatars.
• Research and prototype generative models that push realism further.
• Optimize models for speed and performance without sacrificing quality.

What we’re looking for: 

• Solid background in machine learning and deep learning (PyTorch or TensorFlow).
• Solid grasp of computer vision and generative models (GANs, diffusion models, etc.).
• Bonus if you’ve worked with real-time rendering or game engines (Unity, Unreal).
• You’re practical, hands-on, and comfortable working independently.

Nice-to-haves (but not deal-breakers): 

• Experience working with 3D data, motion, or anything avatar-adjacent.
• NLP or voice synthesis experience.
• Knowledge of rendering pipelines or avatar systems.

Why you might like it here: 

• You’ll get a say in what we build, not just how we build it.
• Remote-first and flexible hours.
• Work on ambitious problems at the edge of what’s possible with AI.

Interested? Shoot us a message with your GitHub, resume, or anything that shows what you’ve built. We’re excited to meet you.
