Our mission is to build multimodal AI to expand human imagination and capabilities.
We believe that multimodality is critical for intelligence. To go beyond language models and build more aware, capable and useful systems, the next step function change will come from vision. So we are working on training and scaling up multimodal foundation models for systems that can see and understand, show and explain, and eventually interact with our world to effect change.
Dream Machine is an early step to building that. Try it here https://dream-machine.lumalabs.ai/
We’re seeking a Product Manager with deep expertise at the intersection of AI research and creative tooling.

What You’ll Do
- Collaborate with research engineers to identify and validate novel generative AI techniques for video and image editing.
- Own the roadmap for creative capabilities - search, references, version control, tracking - and translate technical prototypes into user-friendly products.
- Define clear product requirements and success metrics; partner with R&D to implement scalable data and method pipelines.
- Lead cross-functional teams (design, engineering, research) to ship features on tight timelines, ensuring high performance and usability.
- Evangelize the creative capabilities vision internally and externally through demos, documentation, and workshops.
- Continuously monitor feature adoption and quality, iterating based on data-driven insights and user feedback.
Who You Are
- 5+ years of product management experience with hands-on generative AI or advanced creative tooling.
- Proven track record at companies shipping editing or creative features.
- Strong technical acumen: comfortable discussing model trade-offs, data requirements, and performance considerations.
- Experience working closely with research or R&D teams to operationalize prototypes into products.
- Excellent communicator who can align engineering, design, and go-to-market teams around a unified vision.
- Passionate about the future of creative AI and intuitive user experiences in editing workflows.
Why Luma?
- Shape the future of video and image editing powered by foundation models.
- Collaborate with world-class research engineers in a fast-paced, high-impact environment.
- Competitive equity and compensation, plus opportunities to own critical product areas from day one.
Luma’s mission is to build unified general intelligence that can generate, understand, and operate in the physical world.
