Responsibilities
- Conduct pre-sales discovery and translate customer business and creative needs into technical requirements and AI solution proposals.
- Build generative media prototypes using image, video, audio, and multimodal generation models.
- Help customers move AI solutions from prototypes into production by integrating model APIs and designing reliable workflows.
- Design and implement agentic systems with orchestration, tool use, state, memory, model routing, human review, failure handling, evaluation, and monitoring.
- Compare and optimize models and workflows, including prompts and model configurations, and communicate trade-offs.
- Collaborate with product, research, engineering, sales, and go-to-market teams.
- Stay current with generative media models and convert new capabilities into customer-facing use cases.
Requirements
- Completing or recently completed a bachelor's degree in computer science, artificial intelligence, machine learning, creative technology, animation, film, digital media, advertising, or a related field.
- Hands-on experience building with generative AI models, particularly image, video, or audio generation, through an internship, academic project, portfolio, open-source contribution, startup project, or shipped product.
- Experience taking at least one AI application beyond a simple demo toward production-grade use, with attention to reliability, evaluation, latency, cost, monitoring, safety, or user experience.
- Programming proficiency in Python or another relevant language and practical experience integrating model APIs or machine learning frameworks.
- Understanding of generative media workflows, including prompting, conditioning or reference inputs, model selection, output evaluation, and creative refinement.
- Strong problem-solving and communication skills for explaining technical concepts to technical and non-technical audiences.
- Preferred qualifications include a creative portfolio or background, relevant industry project or internship experience, familiarity with diffusion, transformer, or multimodal models, and experience with fine-tuning, LoRA, control, conditioning, inference optimization, or model evaluation.
- Preferred qualifications also include familiarity with FFmpeg and media-processing pipelines, experience designing demos and presenting technical work, and experience gathering user feedback or collaborating with customers.
Benefits
- Graduate opportunity with a 2027 start and onboarding commitment by the end of the year.
- Opportunities to work with product, research, engineering, and go-to-market teams on generative media and agentic AI solutions.
- Candidates should state their availability and graduation date clearly in their resume.
- Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and candidates may apply to a maximum of two company or affiliate positions globally.
