Our vision is to build the next-generation platform for fast and easy creation of audio and video content. In November 2022, we took a huge leap forward by launching Storyboard , the video editing foundation that we’re excited to build atop AI capabilities like Overdub , Studio Sound , and other generative AI capabilities in the near future. We're used by some of the world's top podcasters and influencers as well as businesses such as BBC, ESPN, Hubspot, Shopify and Washington Post for communicating via video. We've raised $100M from some of the world's best investors like Andreessen Horowitz, OpenAI Startup fund, Redpoint Ventures and Spark Capital. We need great people to help us build these cutting-edge technologies and guide its development. In particular, we’re always looking to hire smart applied research scientists. You will join a team of around a dozen researchers specialized in generative models and deep learning. Some of our research publications: SampleRNN: An Unconditional End-to-End Neural Audio Generation Model. Char2Wav: End-to-end Speech Synthesis. ObamaNet: Photo-realistic lip-sync from text. MelGAN: Generative Adversarial Networks for Conditional Waveform Synthesis. Chunked Autoregressive GAN for Conditional Waveform Synthesis Wav2CLIP: Learning Robust Audio Representations From CLIP This role can be remote in the US or based in the SF Bay Area. As a core member of our research team, you'll play an integral role in challenges such as: Using deep learning (including but not limited to NLP, speech processing, computer vision, etc.) to solve problems for media creation and editing. Creating realistic voice doubles using only a few minutes of audio. Creating tools to synthesize photo-realistic videos that match our Overdub (personalized speech synthesis) feature. Designing and developing new algorithms for media synthesis, anomaly detection, speech recognition, speech enhancement, filler word detection, audio and video tagging etc. Coming up with new research directions to improve our product Descript is building a simple, intuitive, fully-powered editing tool for video and audio — an editing tool built for the age of AI. We are a team of 150 and the backing of some of the world's greatest investors ( OpenAI , Andreessen Horowitz , Redpoint Ventures , Spark Capital ). Descript is the special company that's in possession of both product market fit and the raw materials (passionate user community, great product, large market) for growth, but is still early enough that each new employee has a measurable influence on the direction of the company.
