Our client is an artificial intelligence company.

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Own the model development lifecycle for a software product, from experimentation through evaluation and deployment. Work as an individual contributor on a small team, creating the measurement tools and datasets that guide model quality.

What you'll do

- Train, adapt and assess generative models that power a software product.

- Design evaluation suites and iterative feedback processes to compare image and video models.

- Convert user activity and expert human judgment into curated datasets for training and testing.

- Develop compact in-house models aimed at better speed and quality.

- Determine which examples to gather, annotate and refine so that model output keeps getting better.


Requirements

What we're looking for

- 3 to 6 years of experience as a machine learning engineer.

- Practical background with current generative approaches for images and video, such as diffusion.

- Proven record of taking models from training through to production use.

- Sound judgment about dataset design, annotation and curation.

- An implementer's mindset: you build and deliver working systems rather than only advising or publishing.

- Experience on a respected computer vision or generative media team.

- Comfort being the main owner of modeling work in a small, fast-moving environment.
