Research Engineer: Superhuman Visual Generation

About Atman Labs
At Atman Labs we are building software to emulate proactive human expertise. Emulating human experts with deep knowledge and proactive assistance has largely been impossible to do via standalone Artificial Intelligence techniques. As an applied research and commercialization company we are deploying our products in a number of domains to demonstrate the value of our approach – from proactive shopping assistance to personal teachers to healthcare concierges – and with this commercial focus advance our unique research that lies at the intersection of Reinforcement Learning rewards, Large Scale Knowledge Representation, and Predictive Models inspired by biological priors.

The Next Frontier of Visual Foundation Models:
Unlocking Human Engagement and New Consumer Behavior with Advanced Generative Interactions
We are hiring for a founding research engineer responsible for designing and implementing pipelines to introduce superhuman and imaginative capabilities into our system that unlock complex commercial opportunities. This will involve deploying and fine-tuning an ensemble of state-of-the-art visual generation techniques and models, such as GANs and diffusion models. Human imagination is critical as the connective tissue between stored knowledge in the brain and vocalization in speech, using media like language, art, and sound to share and receive ideas.

Our intelligent agents have a number of ways they can interact with the world and other humans – they can imagine and communicate not just with language, but also by synthesizing immersive images that serve the task at hand.

You will be responsible for the cutting edge deployment and fine-tuning of visual-generation algorithms and familiar with ways that they can be more performant and fine-tuned to specific use cases. You ideally have technical experience or intuition to work with generative models, have a deep understanding of the current state of the art across different types of GANs, Diffusion Models, NeRFs, and other Visual Foundation Models, and are excited to journey at the cutting-edge of the interaction layer our agents have with the world.

You will also be able to come up with ideas for multi-step pipelines which bring together different algorithms, knowing when to focus on both quality and computational efficiency trade-offs.

About You
We are looking for ambitious and independent thinkers who have a deep desire to contribute and want to be part of the team that makes this a reality for humanity. In order to contribute, you should have all of these qualities:
