About the job
We are seeking a Forward Deployed Engineer to help creative teams and enterprises adopt generative AI across image, video, 3D, vector graphics, and design. This role sits at the intersection of engineering, applied AI, product, and customer delivery. You will work directly with customers to understand complex workflows, identify high-value opportunities, and build solutions that connect emerging AI capabilities with real production environments. The ideal candidate combines strong software engineering skills with experience in generative AI and visual computing, comfortable moving from an ambiguous customer problem to a working prototype and, ultimately, a reliable production solution.
Responsibilities
- Partner with stakeholders to understand workflows, systems, and goals.
- Identify opportunities to apply generative AI across various creative domains.
- Build prototypes, integrations, and production-ready solutions.
- Adapt generative and multimodal models to customer-specific use cases and environments.
- Integrate AI capabilities into existing creative tools, content pipelines, and enterprise systems.
- Translate customer needs into technical requirements and product direction.
- Evaluate solutions based on quality, controllability, consistency, reliability, and production usefulness.
- Diagnose technical issues across models, APIs, data pipelines, infrastructure, and integrations.
- Document successful approaches and develop reusable implementation patterns.
- Serve as a trusted technical partner throughout the deployment lifecycle.
Requirements
- Strong software engineering experience building and deploying ML or AI-powered applications.
- Bachelor's, Master's, PhD, or equivalent experience in Computer Science, ML, Computer Graphics, Computer Vision, or related field.
- Experience with generative AI, multimodal systems, computer vision, graphics, or creative technology.
- Strong programming skills in Python and experience with frameworks like PyTorch.
- Experience turning prototypes into reliable production systems.
- Familiarity with APIs, cloud infrastructure, data pipelines, model serving, and enterprise integrations.
- Ability to translate ambiguous customer problems into clearly scoped technical solutions.
- Strong communication skills with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Ability to balance speed, technical quality, customer value, and scalability.
- Experience in generative image or video models, 3D generation, vector graphics, multimodal representation learning, creative software, or model customization.
