Responsibilities
- Lead customer discovery and design technical solutions connecting generative AI capabilities to real creative production workflows.
- Build customer-facing prototypes and proofs of value using image, video, audio, and multimodal generation models.
- Guide solutions from prototype to production, including model and API integration, architecture, media processing, deployment, observability, evaluation, safety, and operational handover.
- Design agentic creative workflows involving orchestration, tools, state, memory, asset processing, human review, and quality checks.
- Optimize output quality, consistency, latency, throughput, reliability, and cost through prompting, model configuration, routing, caching, and inference strategies.
- Define evaluation standards combining automated metrics, model-based evaluation, human review, and business performance signals.
- Translate customer and industry feedback into product, research, engineering, reusable solution-pattern, reference-architecture, and go-to-market input.
- Coordinate account executives, product managers, researchers, engineers, creative stakeholders, and customer teams to manage risks and deliver outcomes.
Requirements
- At least 5 years of relevant professional experience in AI/ML engineering, solution architecture, forward-deployed engineering, creative technology, technical consulting, or a related role, including at least 1 year leading a team.
- Production experience with generative media models, particularly image, video, or audio generation, beyond isolated experiments or basic API demos.
- Hands-on delivery experience in at least one creative industry, such as advertising, e-commerce, film, animation, media and entertainment, gaming, social content, or creator platforms.
- Ownership of production-grade AI projects covering architecture, integration, testing, deployment, monitoring, quality control, and operational reliability.
- Practical experience with prompting, reference conditioning, controllable generation, fine-tuning or LoRA, model evaluation, and iterative creative refinement.
- Hands-on experience designing agentic workflows or harnesses involving orchestration, tool use, state or memory, model routing, evaluation, human-in-the-loop review, and failure handling.
- Ability to communicate architecture decisions, model trade-offs, and delivery risks clearly to technical and business stakeholders.
- Preferred qualifications include deep creative-industry experience, a creative portfolio or collaboration with creative professionals, business-impact measurement, complex proofs of concept or customer pilots, and experience creating reusable architectures or mentoring teams.
