As a Senior Applied AI Engineer specializing in Image Generation, you will join a dynamic and innovative team focused on developing cutting-edge AI assistant capabilities. Your primary responsibility will be to build and enhance image generation models using diffusion, GAN, and transformer-based techniques, while also curating large-scale datasets for training. You’ll implement evaluation frameworks to ensure model correctness and safety, run hillclimbing loops to optimize performance, and develop internal tools that accelerate the AI organization’s ability to deliver high-quality features. Additionally, you will integrate LLMs with product surfaces and APIs, build lightweight ML components, and collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to rapidly iterate on new capabilities based on user feedback. This role requires expertise in deep learning, model deployment at scale, and experience working in fast-paced startup environments, leveraging technologies such as Python, TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Kubernetes.
