Working at
Visualyst

Thousands of professionally produced videos (movies, television series) are released every month to the joy of local audiences, but to the annoyance of global audiences who have to wait a long time before these are available in their market. This is because publishers need to do compliance checks for every market. We will help publishers get more movies and series cleared for distribution faster by offering an intelligent compliance tool based on artificial intelligence and machine learning. Visualyst is in its early days. To a very real extent, you will get to shape the company culture together with the founders. We would like it to be a place where people work as a team and act as a family, where one can be direct and speak one's mind free of politics and BS, where we build something truly great from scratch and get fairly compensated. A place where movie buffs meet technologists, and where geeky is cool. Our solution might not save the world, but it will definitely save the day.
