Synthesia is the world's first AI video generation platform. It's a video production studio in a browser; no cameras, no film crews. You simply choose an avatar, enter your script, and your video is ready in minutes. We believe the future of media is synthetic, and we are on a mission to turn cameras into code and make everyone a creator. Check out our brand video to get a deeper insight into what we're working on here at Synthesia.

In engineering, we are working on a variety of ambitious projects that are critical to our mission. These range from hyper-personalized onboarding, which aims to introduce new customers to Synthesia through a low-latency, highly personalised experience, to creating our own video delivery platform. This platform, in addition to addressing typical concerns such as video transcoding and tiered storage, will allow us to offer proprietary media formats to our customers, including nonlinear and translatable video.

This is a full-time, permanent role. You can work remotely in UK/Europe or hybrid from one of our hubs in London, Copenhagen, or Munich. Our base salary range starts at £120,000 (or a local equivalent) and your package would include stock options.

What you'll do at Synthesia:

• Lead the delivery of complex engineering projects, breaking them down into manageable stages with predictable timelines. Make informed decisions on trade-offs and effectively communicate these to stakeholders. Challenge and support senior engineers to achieve technical excellence.
• Understand engineering leveling and scale the team by identifying and filling skill gaps. Collaborate with recruiting to attract and retain top talent, ensuring the team structure supports current and future business needs.
• Monitor team performance proactively, identifying and addressing issues promptly. Develop strategies to retain top performers through growth opportunities and recognition.
• Navigate difficult conversations with clarity and empathy, especially when working with senior team members. Resolve disagreements by focusing on solutions that align with business goals and foster a collaborative team environment.
• AI dubbing and Localisation is a team focused on translating any video into 29+ languages with the same voice and perfect lip sync. Check out the feature HERE .
  
  

What we're looking for:

• Strong understanding of engineering levels and experience in scaling teams effectively.
• Proven ability to track performance and helping every team member improve output and achieve career goals.
• Excellent communication skills, with experience in handling difficult conversations and resolving conflicts constructively.
• Relevant engineering background for a team building an enterprise-grade SaaS product delivering AI-powered video generation; billing systems, experimentation platforms, video delivery systems, and so on.
  
  

At Synthesia, we expect everyone to…

• Be an owner.
• Focus on outcomes over inputs and plans.
• Make the journey fun.
• Default to simple.
