About Decart
Decart is building the future of AI-powered interactive video technologies. With strong backing from world-class investors including Sequoia and Benchmark, we’re entering a stage of rapid growth and looking for exceptional talent to help us push the boundaries of generative AI.

Our mission is to redefine human–pixel interaction by developing breakthrough models and systems that power the next wave of interactive, real-time media.

 

The Role
We’re seeking a Video Generative AI Research Scientist / Engineer to be a foundational member of our U.S. team. You’ll lead the design, training, and deployment of state-of-the-art generative models, bridging research and engineering to create experiences that move seamlessly from the lab to real-world production.

 

What You’ll Do

  • Research, design, and train state-of-the-art generative models (e.g., diffusion, rectified flow) for video.

  • Develop and optimize proprietary infrastructure for fast inference and scalable training.

  • Collaborate with research and engineering teams to prototype and ship interactive experiences from idea to live product.

  • Contribute to Decart’s long-term research agenda, shaping the future of generative video and multimodal AI.

 

What We’re Looking For

  • PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field (or MSc with equivalent industry research experience).

  • Strong, hands-on background in training generative models (diffusion, rectified flow, etc.).

  • Proven experience taking research to production in real-world systems.

  • Proficiency with ML frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, JAX, TensorFlow) and distributed training environments.

  • Strong track record of publications, patents, or shipped projects in generative AI.

 

Bonus Points

  • Experience with multimodal data (video, audio, text).

  • Familiarity with real-time systems and interactive media applications.

  • Prior experience in scaling AI infrastructure for high-throughput video workloads.

 

Why Join Decart

  • Be part of a founding U.S. team building the future of interactive video.

  • Work on frontier AI challenges with some of the world’s top investors backing your success.

  • Competitive salary, equity, and comprehensive benefits.

  • Direct impact: ship your research into products used by millions.
