Job summary

Instavar is hiring a senior ML Engineer in Singapore to lead end-to-end video generation, processing, and analysis models. You will develop and test models that meet real product needs, then optimize production performance across latency, accuracy, and reliability.

You will also shape the data and evaluation systems to train, compare, monitor, and run models, collaborating with product and engineering teams in a fast-paced startup environment.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in machine learning and AI.
• PhD in CS/AI or related field.
• Experience with generative AI models (GANs, VAEs, Diffusion).
• Knowledge of video codecs and streaming technologies.
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Understanding of MLOps and model deployment.

Responsibilities

• Build and test models for video generation, processing, and analysis, then test them against real product needs.
• Improve production behaviour by making models faster, more accurate, and reliable under practical constraints.
• Build the evidence pipeline: create data and evaluation systems needed to train, compare, monitor, and run models.
