Bellevue, United States | Posted on 07/02/2025

Location: Bellevue, WA, USA
Employment Type: Full-time
Salary: Negotiable

About the Role

We are seeking a highly motivated Applied AI Research Scientist to join a cutting-edge AI Lab focused on generative AI and computer vision. This position is ideal for researchers passionate about advancing imageand video generation, 3D reconstruction, and multi-modal modeling in real-worldapplications.

You will be part of a globally distributed team withbackgrounds from top-tier labs and companies. The lab moves quickly, and many research concepts are tested and deployed within weeks, not years. Team members are encouraged to publish and present at top-tier conferences, while alsocontributing directly to product features used by millions.

This is an on-site position based in Bellevue, WA.

About the AI Lab

This AI Lab plays a central role in enhancing the AI capabilities of widely used consumer-facing creative tools. The team is focusedon:

• Developing state-of-the-art algorithms in computer vision and generative modeling
• Conducting seminal research that advances thefrontiers of image and video generation, 3D modeling, and multimodallearning
• Collaborating across product and engineering teams to integrate research into real-time applications
• Mentoring top-tier AI researchers and engineers to drive innovation and technical excellence
• Fostering a collaborative, high-ownership culture where research excellence meets fast-paced product iteration

Key Responsibilities

• Research and develop advanced models for imageand video generation, editing, 3D reconstruction, and related areas
• Conduct and publish high-impact research while contributing to product-driven development
• Collaborate closely with internal and external teams to push the frontier of applied generative AI
• Translate innovative research into efficient,scalable solutions for deployment in production environments
• Provide mentorship when necessary to support astrong and innovative technical team culture

What You’ll Work On

As part of the team, you will contribute to the development of:

• Diffusion and generative adversarial models forimage and video synthesis and enhancement
• 3D face modeling and reconstruction for augmentedediting and animation features
• Multimodal generative models combining text,image, audio, and video signals
• Real-time inference systems optimized for mobileand cloud deployment
• Novel AR and visual storytelling tools leveraginggenerative vision models

You will work with large-scale, proprietary datasetscovering diverse visual domains, and also utilize and benchmark against publicdatasets and challenges. The models you build will be deployed in widely useddigital creative tools with millions of global users. We use PyTorch,Tensor Flow, and proprietary tools for scalable model training and deployment.

Basic Qualifications

• Industrial research experience, either as afull-time employee or intern, with projects in computer vision, computergraphics, or natural language processing (NLP)
• For U.S.
  
  -based candidates:
  Must obtain work authorization at the time of hire and maintain ongoing work authorizationduring employment

Preferred Qualifications

• PhD in Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, NLP,or a closely related field
• Three or more years of industry or academicexperience in a relevant field
• Strong interest in and thoughtful considerationof the product impact of AI technologies
• Excellent engineering skills to implement and optimize research prototypes into scalable deliverables
• Proven problem-solving skills, with the abilityto evaluate alternatives and make data-driven decisions
• Strong communication skills to effectively sharecomplex ideas with technical and non-technical audiences
• A track record of first-author publications intop-tier conferences such as CVPR, ECCV, ICCV, NeurIPS, or SIGGRAPH

Why Join

• Work on high-impact projects that combine deepresearch and real-world application
• Collaborate with world-class researchers and engineers in a fast-moving and supportive environment
• Access large-scale data, high-qualityinfrastructure, and real users to accelerate your work
• Be part of a lab that actively supports both academic contributions and production innovation
