Requirements and responsibilities


About the roleYou will work on end-to-end product features across the Avatars and Generative Media domain, building experiences that sit at the core of Synthesia’s product.You will design and deliver features that combine frontend, backend, and AI model capabilities, helping users create and customize avatars, generate content, and interact with generative systems in a reliable and intuitive way.You will take ownership of features from idea through to production, working with loosely defined requirements to scope, prototype, and ship solutions that deliver real user impact.You will work directly with AI models (both third-party and in-house), evaluating what is possible, understanding reliability constraints, and shaping product decisions based on those capabilities.You will build across the stack, including:Backend systems to support feature logic and model integrationFrontend experiences that allow users to interact with generative featuresEnd-to-end workflows that connect user input, model output, and product behaviorYou will frequently work on 0 to 1 problems, such as introducing new avatar capabilities or generative features, where experimentation and iteration are critical to success.You will collaborate closely with product and design to:Translate user problems into experiments and featuresValidate what works reliably with underlying modelsIterate quickly based on feedback and real usageYou will ship features behind feature flags, measure outcomes, and continuously refine based on product and user signals.What we’re looking forYou have experience building and shipping full-stack product features end-to-end in production environments.You are comfortable working across both frontend and backend, and can independently deliver a feature from concept to implementation.You have a strong product mindset and can take ambiguous problems, define scope, and iterate towards solutions that deliver user value.You are comfortable working in 0 to 1 environments, experimenting, prototyping, and learning quickly rather than relying on detailed upfront specs.You can evaluate technical feasibility and make pragmatic trade-offs, especially when working with imperfect or evolving systems such as AI models.You care about reliability and user experience, aiming to build features that work consistently in real-world usage.You are confident collaborating with product and design, including pushing back when something is not feasible and proposing better alternatives.You are willing to debug and work across the stack, wherever the problem is.Experience with AI or ML-powered products, experimentation workflows, or feature flagging is a plus, but not required.Why join us?Our cultureAt Synthesia we’re passionate about building, not talking, planning or politicising.
