  • Experience fine-tuning Diffusion models for image generation, image upscaling, and in/out painting models.
  • Deep understanding of effectively evaluating image generative models.
  • Strong proficiency in PyTorch and transformer models.
  • Knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) for deploying and scaling ML services.
  • Familiarity with containerization and orchestration technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Proven track record in rapid ML model prototyping using tools like Streamlit or Gradio.
  • Experience with distributed task queues and scalable model-serving architectures.
  • Understanding of monitoring, logging, and observability best practices for ML systems.

Nice to Haves:

  • Experience with frontend development frameworks (e.g., Vue.js, Angular, React).
  • Knowledge of database systems and data streaming technologies.
  • Understanding of security best practices for API development and ML model serving.
  • Experience with real-time inference systems and low-latency optimizations.

Compensation

  • Base Salary: $180k–$200k/year.
  • Equity: Meaningful early-stage equity with high growth potential.
  • Benefits: Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance.
