Greetings, Senior Creative ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป

Note: the job post includes images and links, in case you can't see them: https://boards.eu.greenhouse.io/synthesia/jobs/4240519101

This is not a usual job description, but there is a good reason for that.

It's going to take you 5 minutes to read it, but it is 100% worth it.

Let us explain.

Over the past 100 years, media production went through cycles of innovation that impacted the production, distribution, and consumption of media in ways that we couldn't predict.

Things are changing quickly, technologies grow and evolve in multiple waves.

One way to think of the development of technologies is that it usually starts small and slow. There's an early stage where the technology doesn't quite work yet and it doesn't look like it'll be very useful or important.

But then it reaches a point where the growth accelerates upward. From the time when it was kind of a crazy idea, it moves into a time of excitement and growth.

Everything starts to work.

At Synthesia, we believe the future of media is synthetic. Not sure what's that about? Check this article written by our CEO Victor Riparbelli.

It's kind of a crazy idea.

But after 6 years of research and a roller coaster ride of successes and failures, Synthesia is now the leading brand in AI video production with over 50,000 customers to date.

Yet we are just laying the groundwork for a whole new kind of media. Imagine joining Uber, Airbnb or Stripe when these companies were just getting started. That's how early we are.
