About the Role

You will take technical ownership of the generative-model layer for a production platform. You will extend open-source image, video, audio, and 3D models; fine-tune models; build reusable inference components and fine-tuning APIs; optimize performance; deploy reliable APIs; and collaborate directly with customers on generative-media solutions.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of professional experience as an Applied ML Engineer
  • 1–2 years focused on generative media or computer vision
  • Expert proficiency in Python and PyTorch
  • Practical understanding of diffusion and flow-based generative models
  • Experience with Hugging Face, Diffusers, and open-weight model tooling
  • Ability to deploy scalable, reliable, secure, safe, and performant ML systems
  • Experience designing training-free extensions to generative models
  • Experience with custom model post-training or fine-tuning
  • Ability to take ML ideas from concept to production

Responsibilities

  • Extend image, video, audio, and 3D models with new capabilities and modalities
  • Develop model conditioning, generation, and editing approaches
  • Fine-tune generative models and build fine-tuning APIs
  • Develop reusable components and abstractions for model capabilities and inference pipelines
  • Apply inference optimization techniques for latency, throughput, and GPU utilization
  • Build, deploy, and maintain scalable generative model APIs
  • Resolve production challenges to ensure reliable service at scale
  • Collaborate with customers on generative media solutions

Benefits

  • Health, dental, and vision insurance in the US
  • Regular team events and offsites
  • Equity
