Research Engineer
About Valka.ai Valka, a visionary spin-off from the Realms Group (the parent company of Oddin.gg), is on a mission to revolutionize the way people create and experience digital content. Our team believes that content shouldn’t just be consumed; it should be co-created in real time, blurring the lines between imagination and reality. By harnessing the power of cutting-edge AI, we aim to build an interactive human-digital platform where virtual characters respond dynamically to each user’s voice, text, gestures, and more. This is your chance to join a diverse group of innovators who are driven to redefine what’s possible in generative content. Together, we’re changing the paradigm from passive viewing to active participation, unlocking new creative frontiers across gaming, entertainment, education, and beyond. Role summary You will sit at the boundary between our Video Generation research team and the product engineering platform! Your primary job will be to take models and demos produced by research scientists and turn them into robust, deployable Python services that can be plugged into the production platform. You will report to the Head of Engineering and partner closely with Video Generation researchers. You won’t be a researcher inventing new models, nor a backend generalist — you will be the person who makes the research land. What you'll do Package and containerize AI models (Python/Docker) from research into clean, versioned services with well-defined APIs Own the engineering side of the tech transfer process: inference specs, environment setup, model mocking, and integration scaffolding Collaborate closely with research scientists on quantization, TensorRT compilation, and hitting latency budgets (e.g. Apply To This Job
