About Us

At Tavus, we're building the human layer of AI. Our mission is to make human-AI interaction as natural as face-to-face interaction, enabling the human touch where it has been previously unscalable. We achieve this through pioneering research in multi-modal AI models for human perception and understanding, combined with state-of-the-art human avatar rendering and communication models. Our models power everything from text-to-video AI avatars to real-time conversational video experiences across industries like healthcare, recruiting, sales, education, and more. By enabling AI to see, hear, and communicate with human-like authenticity, we're creating the foundation for the next generation of AI employees, assistants, and companions.

We're a Series A company backed by top investors, including Sequoia, Y Combinator, and Scale VC. Join us in driving the future of human-AI interaction. Check it out for yourself

The Role

We're hiring a Senior Software Engineer (Infrastructure) to be a technical driver across teams. You're the flywheel that underpins discrete teams, making all infrastructure feel continuous.

  • You consider AWS your second home. You're comfortable spinning up new services and building simple repeatable processes for others to leverage
  • You thrive in an ambiguous and fast changing space
  • You bring a senior mindset: you set direction, own decisions, and get things over the finish line
  • You have incredibly communication skills and can communicate complex technical ideas clearly to both technical and non-technical team members

Additionally, having some of the following experiences may help you be successful in this position:

  • Experience with GCP
  • Experience with video streaming infrastructure
  • Experience working with LLMs
  • Broad knowledge of generative AI
  • Experience with EKS/K8S
