Team Principles

Join us and be part of stories that matter.

Angel Studios is seeking a motivated intern to help evaluate, improve, and recommend solutions for our video and audio content-flagging system. While our current system performs well in many cases, it produces frequent false positives—especially on animated content—and occasionally misses elements it should catch. It also creates overly broad audio timestamps, sometimes spanning 10–15 seconds when the flagged element is only 1 second long. We need significantly improved precision. This internship offers hands-on experience inside the Angel Guild submission workflow along with an opportunity to research cutting-edge detection technologies and make recommendations that can meaningfully improve our content pipeline
