Job Level

About the role

  • Own the ML stack end-to-end: Evaluate hosted models, fine-tune open-source ones, and build scalable pipelines for image, video, and text generation.
  • Develop brand-aligned generation systems: Create techniques for tone, color, and style fidelity across mediums.
  • Improve generation quality: Build internal evaluation frameworks to measure realism, brand match, and creative diversity.
  • Prototype and ship: Rapidly turn research ideas into productized APIs that power Arcade’s content generation features.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally: Work with design and marketing to define what “on-brand” means, and with engineers to integrate ML systems into production.
  • Lay the foundation for content optimization: Build data pipelines connecting engagement metrics to model tuning.

Requirements

  • Strong Python + ML engineering background (PyTorch, diffusers, transformers, or similar).
  • Minimum 5 years experience with hands-on experience fine-tuning or training open-source models.
  • Deep familiarity with modern inference and training tooling (LoRA, PEFT, DeepSpeed, Ray, Hugging Face, etc.).
  • Portfolio or prior work demonstrating creative use of generative models (visuals, videos, text, etc.).
  • Comfort operating across research, engineering, and product — shipping real features, not just experiments.
  • *(Nice to have)* Familiarity with TypeScript/Next.js and integrating ML APIs into frontend products.
