TL;DR: We’re making our first Mid-level or Senior Data Engineer hire to help us unlock better data-informed decision-making. This one is for you if you’re interested in joining an early-stage data team in the generative AI space.
We are on a mission to make video easy for anyone…
Synthesia is the world’s #1 AI video generation platform. Well, it’s actually a video production studio — in a browser. As in, no cameras or film crews at all. You simply choose an avatar, enter your script in one of 120 languages, and your video is ready in minutes. In Synthesia, you can build personalized on-the-fly videos, give your chatbot a human face or run 24/7 weather channels in different languages, to name just a few of the possibilities 🎬.
We believe the future of media is synthetic, and we are on a mission to turn cameras into code and make everyone a creator.

And yet we are just laying the groundwork for a whole new kind of media here. Imagine joining Uber, Airbnb or Stripe when these companies were just getting started.
That's how early we are.
Right now, we’re hiring our first Data Engineer. We’re looking for someone to turn engineering constraints into product insights, shape our nascent data culture, and enable product teams to utilize data to make better-informed decisions. If you’ve worked in multiple organizations and always thought there was a better way to work with data, this is your chance to make it happen.
Own our data infrastructure and base models that connect various cloud data sources, enable teams to draw meaningful impact from their work, and develop a self-serve capability as our team matures.
You’ll have a broad responsibility across the data stack, working to bring the right data into Snowflake, writing transformation into dbt and acting as an expert to the rest of the organization to solve problems with data, or guide others to do so.
You’ll work across Engineering, Product, and the wider business to set the initial priorities for Data that will help unlock more data-informed decision making within our product.
We don’t want you to field every data request that the business comes up with, which would turn you into a bottleneck. We want you to build the analytics layer and own the modeling that allows each function to easily get to the answers they need, while helping with the hardest and most interesting questions.
Our product is instrumented with Segment, we use Fivetran to move production data into Snowflake. We use dbt Cloud to run our transformation pipeline. Our analytics tables are accessible through Metabase and our team also recently adopted Hex. We use Census to push data back into Hubspot (marketing), Salesforce (sales) and Userflow (in product messaging) and AWS is our primary cloud provider.
It’s early days for our data team and we’re still shaping it.
