Play: Redefining Video Creation with AI – Join the Revolution in 2024!

Are you ready to, like, totally shape the future of video? Yeah, you heard that right! Play is on a mission to, like, revolutionize video creation using the power of AI. We’re building this super cutting-edge platform that will empower everyone—from those big-shot professional studios to everyday smartphone users like you and me—to create stunning videos. And guess what? It’ll be easier than ever, with creative freedom like you wouldn’t believe.

Hold Up, This Ain’t Your Average Startup

We’re not messing around here. We’re tackling a massive technical challenge, the kind that could disrupt a multi-billion dollar industry. At Play, we’re all about that “hands-on,” founder-driven mindset. We’re searching for passionate people, those who thrive in a fast-paced, high-impact environment. You know, the ones who aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty and make things happen.

Intrigued? Read On, But Only If…

Let’s be real for a sec. This opportunity isn’t for everyone. It’s for the rebels, the innovators, the ones who dare to dream big. Sound like you? Awesome! But before you scroll any further, ask yourself:

• Does the thought of “early-stage” get you hyped, not give you the chills?
• Do you believe in the power of a strong vision, even if the big bucks aren’t rolling in just yet?
• Are you a problem-solver at heart, the kind of person who tackles challenges head-on?
• Do you embody that founder’s mindset, no matter what your resume says?

If you answered “heck yeah!” to all of the above, then buckle up, buttercup. You’re about to embark on one wild ride.

The Opportunity: Video is King, But It’s a Royal Pain…Until Now

Let’s face it, video is everywhere. It’s how we connect, how we learn, how we laugh (and sometimes cry) together. Think about it: sports, entertainment, education, even just chatting with your bestie across the globe—it’s all about video! By 2024, video is projected to make up a whopping 85% of all online traffic. That’s insane! But there’s a catch. Creating high-quality video content is still a major time-suck and can cost you an arm and a leg.

That’s where Play comes in. We’re here to change the game. Our platform uses cutting-edge AI algorithms to make video creation a breeze. Seriously, it’s about to get so much easier. Our vision? By 2030, we see a world where almost every single video out there is made using Play’s technology. Yeah, we’re aiming high, but we’re also pretty sure we’re gonna nail it.

Here’s How We’re Making Video Creation Easier Than Ever:

We’re not just throwing fancy words around here. We’re actually doing the dang thing. Here’s a sneak peek under the hood:

• State-of-the-Art Algorithms: Play’s platform is powered by some seriously smart machine learning and computer vision algorithms. We’re talking next-level stuff that analyzes, edits, and enhances videos faster and more accurately than ever before.
• Unmatched Efficiency: Our early adopters are already seeing the magic happen. They’re saving, like, 75% in production costs and 80% in editing time. Time is money, people!
• Democratizing Video Creation: Play is all about giving everyone a voice. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out, our platform makes it easy to create professional-looking videos. No more excuses, people!

The Role: AI Visionary & Team Leader – Are You Our Missing Puzzle Piece?

We’re on the hunt for a special someone. Someone who’s not afraid to push boundaries and redefine what’s possible. Someone who eats, sleeps, and breathes AI. Could that someone be you?

As a key member of our tech team, you’ll be right in the thick of it, shaping the future of Play’s AI-powered platform. We’re talking about building something truly groundbreaking.

Responsibilities: You’ll Be the Mastermind Behind…

• Developing and refining our already awesome Machine Learning platform, with a focus on:
  • Object tracking, detection, and labeling in video streams (because who has time to do that manually, right?)
  • Object re-identification across different video streams (it’s like magic, but with more algorithms)
  • Action detection (so your videos are always on point)
  • Improving how smoothly you can pan, scan, and zoom (no more shaky cam!)
  • Training and retraining custom models, and knowing when to use those handy off-the-shelf models (work smarter, not harder, am I right?)
  • Utilizing all the latest and greatest technologies and neural networks to make those videos look super sharp and high-res (we’re talking 4K, baby!)
• Building and leading your own dream team of crazy-talented engineers and researchers (assemble your own A-Team!)
• Working hand-in-hand with our product and design teams to turn user needs into awesome technical solutions (we’re all about teamwork here)
• Contributing to Play’s tech roadmap, making sure we stay ahead of the game in the ever-changing world of AI and video technology (we gotta stay one step ahead, yo!)

Essential Skills & Experience: What You Need to Bring to the Table

Let’s cut to the chase. We need someone who knows their stuff. Here’s the deal:

• You gotta have mad Python3 programming skills (it’s like speaking our language)
• OpenCV2? Yeah, you need to know it like the back of your hand
• FFMPEG compression and parameter tuning? You’re the expert, the guru, the master!
• Deep understanding of pyTorch and object trackers like YOLO (we’re talking deep, deep knowledge)
• General knowledge of computer vision algorithms like SORT and SRUNET (the more you know, the better)
• Experience with containerization technologies like Docker and Kubernetes (gotta keep things organized, right?)
• Familiarity with AWS services like S3, Lambda, SageMaker, Elastic Transcode/MediaConvert (the cloud is your playground)

Desirable Skills & Experience: The Icing on the Cake

Okay, so you’ve got the basics down. But maybe you’re an overachiever? We like that! Here are some bonus skills that would make you even more awesome:

• Experience with microservices architecture (because bigger isn’t always better)
• Knowledge of Airflow (keeping those workflows running smoothly)
• Familiarity with boto3 (the AWS Python SDK)

Our Offer: What’s in It for You?

We’re not gonna lie, this is a demanding gig. But trust us, it’s worth it. Here’s why:

• Be a Part of Something Epic: This isn’t just another job. This is your chance to make history. We’re talking about revolutionizing an entire industry. How cool is that?
