Netflix is a global leader in entertainment services, expanding beyond media distribution into cutting-edge content production. Within this ecosystem, Eyeline Labs serves as the research and innovation arm of Netflix Eyeline Studios, developing and deploying advanced technologies that transform how films are made.
Our mission is to tackle the challenges of tomorrow, making the seemingly impossible achievable, delivering photorealistic quality with exceptional speed and efficiency, and supporting creators in bringing their boldest creative visions to life.
We want to provide you with a solid foundation where you can be a part of an innovative team of brilliant researchers, developers and virtual storytellers. Learn more.
We are seeking exceptional PhD students to join Eyeline Labs as Research Interns for the Summer 2026 internship program.
As a Research Intern, you will work on groundbreaking research projects using video/image generative AI and 4D neural reconstruction/representation techniques to revolutionize the field of filmmaking, content (re)creation, and visual effects/enhancements (stylization, relighting, super-resolution, bit depth, etc).
Key Responsibilities
- Engage in quick iterations of hands-on research in the field of video/image generative AI and 4D neural reconstruction/representation
- Balance between research and engineering, and develop state-of-the-art techniques to address high-priority challenges in the field of filmmaking, content (re)creation, and visual effects/enhancements (stylization, relighting, super-resolution, bit depth, etc)
- Align closely with filmmakers and artists to prototype AI tools for their final pixel quality, production scaling, efficiency, and creativity
- Conduct experiments to validate research hypotheses and incubate new ideas into publications
Qualifications
- Enrolled in PhD in Computer Vision, Graphics, Artificial Intelligence, and/or Machine Learning
- Proficiency in Python and other related programming languages
- Practical experience working with multi-GPU-node neural network training, architecture design for video/image generative AI or 3D reconstruction, as well as large-scale data processing parallelization.
- Profound knowledge of content (re)creation using generative AI, including diffusion models
- Effective communication skills, both verbal and written

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
