You’ll improve the core components of the machine learning stack and design and deploy new ML solutions. This is an exciting opportunity to apply cutting-edge AI technologies in a creative, high-impact environment.

What You’ll Work On

Fashion design is deeply creative yet highly technical. Our users span from junior designers to creative directors and fashion design students. Building tools that meet their diverse needs is both challenging and rewarding.

  • Fine-tuning Diffusion (transformer) models for image generation.
  • Designing, deploying, and maintaining Diffusion models for cloud-based inference.
  • Transforming research models into production-ready demos and MVPs.
  • Optimizing model inference for improved performance and scalability.
  • Ensuring high availability and reliability of model serving infrastructure.
  • Ensuring security best practices across the ML infrastructure.
  • Developing and maintaining robust APIs for serving machine learning models.

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong proficiency in Python and its ecosystem for machine learning, transformer models, data analysis, and other neural network architectures.
  • 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.

Location
