Research Engineer, Agentic Video Editing

Quick Facts

• Role: Research Engineer, Agentic Video Editing

Description

Build end-to-end agentic video editing systems that integrate intelligent AI agents into creative workflows, spanning agent planning/tool use, backend execution, and evaluation pipelines. Develop and improve the agent harness for multimodal editing, including context management and error recovery. Create evaluation and feedback loops using LLM judges, benchmarks, and human review to measure quality, diagnose failures, and prevent regressions.

Responsibilities

• Build end-to-end agentic video editing systems across the agent harness, backend services, and evaluation pipelines

• Own scoped features and improvements from prototyping through production

• Develop and improve the agent harness: planning, tool use, context management, and error recovery for multimodal editing workflows

• Build reliable backend services for agent execution, session management, and media processing; improve latency, cost, and reliability

• Develop evaluation and feedback loops with LLM judges, benchmarks, and human review workflows to measure quality, diagnose failures, and catch regressions

• Propose new ideas and run practical experiments using evaluation results and user feedback to improve agent capabilities and video quality

• Collaborate with research, engineering, and product partners to ship usable editing experiences for creators

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, AI, or related field, or equivalent practical experience

• Strong programming skills in Python and solid software engineering fundamentals

• Foundational knowledge of machine learning and large language models

• Hands-on experience building an LLM application, AI Agent, or multimodal AI project

• Ability to design experiments, analyze failures, and turn findings into working improvements

• Interest in video creation and building useful tools for creators
