AI Engineer - Video Generation
Valka.AI, a visionary spin-off from the Realms Group (the parent company of Oddin.gg), is on a mission to revolutionize the way people create and experience digital content. Our team believes that content shouldn't just be consumed; it should be co-created in real time, blurring the lines between imagination and reality. By harnessing the power of cutting-edge AI, we aim to build an interactive human-digital platform where virtual characters respond dynamically to each user's voice, text, gestures, and more.
This is your chance to join a diverse group of innovators who are driven to redefine what's possible in generative content. Together, we're changing the paradigm from passive viewing to active participation, unlocking new creative frontiers across gaming, entertainment, education, and beyond.
The Role:
AI/ML Expert
We’re looking for an experienced AI/**ML Engineer for Video Generation** for a key role on our new team.
You’ll develop video generation and editing models using diffusion techniques to create lifelike video content for our avatars and other visual applications.
We expect you to work with state-of-the-art models and explore the limits of what diffusion models can do in video synthesis. This role requires strong knowledge of generative modeling, computer vision, and deep learning. Experience with large-scale video datasets is a highly desirable.
You’ll build scalable pipelines for training and deploying video models. Your tasks will include designing evaluation strategies to compare generated videos with real footage, and building custom metrics to assess visual quality and realism.
You’ll also help build infrastructure for experiment tracking, reproducibility, and production deployment. From distributed training to model serving and monitoring, you’ll be hands-on across the full ML development cycle
What You'll Do
- Design, develop, and optimize AI video generation models using diffusion techniques, with a focus on maintaining consistency, realism, and style.
- Develop and implement state-of-the-art algorithms for translating textual descriptions into dynamic video content.
- Work closely with other teams on large-scale video datasets, including human motion and gestures, facial expressions, and scene context.
- Experiment with cutting-edge diffusion architectures for controllable and high-quality video synthesis.
- Define robust validation strategies and implement custom evaluation metrics comparing synthetic vs. real gameplay.
- Contribute to foundational MLOps practices and infrastructure; from experiment tracking, CI/CD, deployment, monitoring, and versioning..
About you
- 📈 Proficiency in Python and ML frameworks like PyTorch or TensorFlow.
- 🤝 Worked with generative models such as VAE, GAN, and Diffusion models.
- 💼 Experience with training diffusion models for image and video generation.
- Ability to read and implement ideas from research papers
- 🛠️ Comfortable collaborating in a fast-paced, greenfield environment, co-creating breakthroughs with fellow pioneers.
- 🔨 Proficient in Python and working with large datasets and GPU environments
- 📽 Understand core machine learning and deep learning concepts and strong programming skills and experience working with Python
Join us at Valka.AI to lead a new wave of interactive video content — one where your creativity and technical prowess will help transform entire industries and reimagine how digital content is created, shared, and experienced.
Based in Prague, the heart of Europe, we offer flexible work arrangements. We can support relocation or facilitate regular on-site visits for those unable to relocate permanently.
This role offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of interactive video content, where digital humans can engage in meaningful and dynamic interactions with users. If you're a passionate ML expert with a drive to innovate and create immersive experiences, we encourage you to apply.
