We are seeking a Senior/Principal Machine Learning Engineer with deep expertise in Visual Language Models (VLMs), Large Vision Models (LVMs), Generative AI, and multimodal foundation models to build the next generation of AI-powered creative technologies.
This is a hands-on technical role responsible for architecting, developing, and deploying state-of-the-art AI systems for image, video, and creative generation. You will work closely with Product, Engineering, Data Science, and Design teams to build production-scale GenAI capabilities that power creative automation, digital advertising, content personalization, and campaign optimization.
You will drive innovation across the entire lifecycle, from research and experimentation through large-scale production deployment, while helping establish the company's long-term Visual AI strategy.
ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES:Visual AI & Generative AI Development
- Design and develop production-grade AI systems for:
- Image generation
- Video generation
- Image editing and enhancement
- Creative optimization
- Style transfer
- Multimodal content understanding
- Brand-aware content generation
- AI-assisted creative workflows
- Build scalable pipelines for automated creative generation across multiple marketing channels.
- Research and implement state-of-the-art diffusion, transformer, autoregressive, and multimodal architectures.
- Fine-tune and optimize foundation models for enterprise production use cases
- Transformer-based image/video generation
- Visual reasoning models
- Train, fine-tune, optimize, and deploy large-scale generative AI models using advanced techniques including LoRA, QLoRA, PEFT, distillation, quantization, and prompt optimization.
- Build robust model evaluation frameworks to measure creative quality, visual fidelity, consistency, brand alignment, safety, hallucination risk, and human preference alignment.
- Improve model performance across quality, latency, scalability, and cost through continuous experimentation, benchmarking, and production optimization
- Motion transfer
- Storyboarding
- Dynamic creative optimization
- Lead decisions around foundation models, fine-tuning strategies, RAG pipelines, embeddings, and ranking systems.
- Deep expertise in Generative AI, multimodal foundation models, Vision Language Models (VLMs), Large Vision Models (LVMs), diffusion models, transformers, and autoregressive architectures, with hands-on experience building image and video generation systems using leading models such as FLUX, Stable Diffusion, Imagen, Veo, Runway, Kling, and open-source video diffusion models.
- Strong experience with computer vision and multimodal AI frameworks (CLIP, Florence, Qwen-VL, LLaVA, SAM, YOLO, Grounding DINO) and applying them to visual understanding, generation, editing, and creative optimization.
- Proven ability to product ionize large-scale AI models using modern ML infrastructure including Hugging Face, Diffusers, Deep Speed, FSDP, TensorRT, ONNX, CUDA/GPU optimization, and cloud-native MLOps platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure, Kubernetes, Kubeflow, MLflow, distributed inference).
- Architect and oversee scalable LLM/GenAI systems for Mar Tech/AdTech use cases
- Design and deploy multi-agent systems using frameworks such as Lang Graph, Auto Gen, CrewAI, MCP, or equivalent.
- Own end-to-end ML system design: data ingestion, feature pipelines, training, inference, evaluation, and monitoring.
- Work closely with Product, Data, and Platform teams to translate business needs into scalable ML capabilities.
- Communicate complex ML concepts…
