Advertising is an $800B industry built on interruptions. Consumer entertainment is a multi-trillion dollar ecosystem built on static media. We think media should be adaptive — able to change, personalize, and evolve for every viewer. To achieve this, Darwin is building the AI research and products that make the layer between when media is created and when it’s experienced by a viewer fully programmable.

Today, our AI systems are live, helping place brands into embedded AI ads inside creator content — turning objects, clothing, and environments in videos into scalable media inventory.

Darwin is backed by a16z Speedrun and leading angels in the video AI space. Our team includes engineers, creatives, and operators from Google, Synthesia, Disney, Adobe, Rumble, and other leading AI and media companies.

Apply for this role if you:

• want to work at the frontier of AI-native media systems

• believe taste and agency matter most in an AI-native world

• like turning new model capabilities into real products people actually use

• Are comfortable moving between ML models, backend systems, and product infrastructure

• Default to shipping and learning from reality rather than debating hypotheticals
