About The Position

Troveo is seeking a Senior Researcher to explore and validate opportunities to use its licensed data assets in AI development. The role focuses on monitoring advances in AI and machine learning, experimenting with emerging models and techniques, and identifying ways to enrich or restructure multimodal, audiovisual, and other data assets. The researcher will define opportunities and problems clearly, validate ideas with evidence, and help guide the business toward potential uses for data in model training, product features, and decision-making.

The Senior Researcher will own and advance research programs in priority data opportunity areas, designing experiments and proof-of-concepts to test hypotheses and reduce risk. They will turn research into actionable briefs, experiment proposals, success criteria, and recommendations; advise product, prototyping, and engineering collaborators; and maintain knowledge bases and briefings that keep the broader team informed. The role also contributes to prioritization and longer-term opportunity discussions and supports ad hoc business operations requests.

Requirements

• At least 5 years of relevant experience in applied research or machine learning research.
• A hands-on, experimental mindset and comfort learning by building with new models, APIs, datasets, tools, and techniques.
