Artificial Intelligence Researcher Engineer

MITO AI is a collaborative, AI-native platform developing tools for film, commercial, and music video production. The AI Research Engineer will lead research and engineering projects involving generative and multimodal AI, design rigorous evaluations, develop new approaches, and turn successful results into product improvements.

Responsibilities:

• Own research and engineering projects that improve the quality, capability, control, and reliability of MITO's AI systems
• Develop and test new approaches, then turn successful results into working product improvements
• Assess new models and methods against real creative needs and integrate the ones that provide clear value
• Design experiments and benchmarks to understand system behaviour — and build the evaluation infrastructure, datasets, tests, and human-review processes that make AI behaviour measurable and failures reproducible
• Use product behaviour, user feedback, and recurring failures to identify the most impactful areas for improvement
• Build data and experimentation systems that support faster, more reliable iteration
• Work with engineers, product teams, filmmakers, designers, and users to define success and deliver improvements
• Communicate results clearly — in writing and in conversation — so that research findings translate into product decisions
