About the role

<div class="content-intro"><h2><strong>About HeyGen</strong></h2> <p>At HeyGen, our mission is to make visual storytelling accessible to all. Over the last decade, visual content has become the preferred method of information creation, consumption, and retention. But the ability to create such content, in particular videos, continues to be costly and challenging to scale. Our ambition is to build technology that equips more people with the power to reach, captivate, and inspire audiences.<br>Learn more at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.heygen.com">www.heygen.com</a>.&nbsp; Visit our Mission and Culture doc <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JQ6k6Ce8VRE60zO09Uc94JVaxRWA2xC1-IbIFAAHPvs/edit?usp=sharing">here</a>.&nbsp;</p></div><p>We are seeking a seasoned<strong> Technical Leader</strong> to build and scale the foundational compute infrastructure that powers our state-of-the-art AI models—from multimodal training data pipelines to high-throughput, low-latency video generation.</p> <h3>Responsibilities</h3> <p>You will be the core engineer responsible for building the robust, efficient, and scalable platform that enables our research and production teams to rapidly iterate on HeyGen's generative video models.
