Job Description

Versatile Media is a global company that has created an end-to-end virtual production workflow. Our North American headquarters are based in Vancouver, Canada where we run performance capture and visualization stages that run on real-time technology. Our focus is on Virtual Production, combining real-time rendering technology, traditional film workflows and proprietary research. Our upcoming big LED stage in Vancouver is scheduled to open in early 2023.

As a Machine Learning Engineer, you will spend your time...

• Bringing machine learning solutions to our virtual production technology stack. Our focus is digital humans and LED stage virtual production technologies. Your skills will be deployed across all our departments, from performance capture, cloth and muscle simulation, rigging and animation, computer vision and other relevant fields. Domain knowledge in any of these areas is desirable but not essential. Our main interest is in your experience building, testing and deploying machine learning models.
• Working in a fast-paced studio environment, researching, testing and developing your solutions from prototype to shipped production code used on-set by our engineers and artists.

We'd love to hear from you if you have:

• Professional experience designing, training, and deploying machine learning models.
• Ability to review and implement machine learning algorithms from new scientific papers.
• Proficient in Python; 2+ years of programming experience is preferable.
• Solid understanding of deep learning frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow). We use PyTorch as the main research framework
• Code samples of your ML work in any domain.
• Relevant knowledge of math (statistics, linear algebra, etc).
• Demonstrated ability to write clear, well-documented maintainable code.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills with a strong team focus.
• Ability to manage tasks, projects and work independently.
• Experience or a strong interest in visual effects, animation, or game industries.
• BS, MS or Ph.D. in Computer Science or related field

Even better if you have experience with one or more of:

• Developing tools/solutions for animation, visual effects, gaming, or AR/VR
• 3D Computer graphics tools such as Autodesk Maya, Unreal Engine, Blender
• 3D computer vision and reconstruction, generative/adversarial models, temporal machine learning
• ML research and development related to digital humans (face, body, skeleton, hands, movement, performance capture)
• C++ programming skills can be advantage
