## About the role

You will join a small but extremely talented team to define a new kind of video game experience. You'll work alongside top otaku minds in the industry, including the creator of Warudo and Cytoid , a Google Deepmind veteran behind Project Astra , and top-tier AI researchers. As an early member of this team, you will have significant artistic and research freedom to shape what could become the next-generation LLM-driven storytelling experience.

## What they're looking for

- You might have previously published papers around the topic, or have worked at an industrial lab on this and related topics. You have seen the Grok AI companion and can develop systems inspired by such an audio-synced motion-generation system
- Most anime character’s facial expressions are easier to generate than real people. Nevertheless, we have several magnitudes of more real human data. You’ll be a good fit if you have worked on speech-driven 3D facial animation
- We need to interact with the character in real time. Knowing how to make that happen in terms of motion generation will be a big bonus
