Job description

You'll spend your days moving between engineering and partnership. Synthetic data here does far more than fill gaps: it lets teams build privacy-preserving digital humans, represent locales and domains that real-world collection underserves, and experiment in days instead of waiting on slow, costly data collection. It also gives Safety and Responsible AI red teams the data they need to stress-test models against misuse and edge cases. One day you might be integrating a new image or video generation model and tuning how it runs on GPUs; the next, you might be helping a design team get their first dataset running on the platform, or working with a feature team on model ablations that measure what synthetic data adds to training and evaluation. You'll help teams understand where synthetic data differs from the real data their models see, whether that's how images look or subtler differences in metadata, distributions, and labels, and then build what closes those gaps. Your core partners are ML engineers and data scientists, but you'll also work with designers, artists, and others who are newer to machine learning, and help make these systems understandable and approachable for them. You'll own features end to end, from shaping the request with partner teams to validating the result on production infrastructure. Our team builds with AI coding agents every day, and you'll help shape how we use them well. You don't need a research background in generative models; you'll learn the models on the job. What matters most is strong engineering judgment and the ability to bring people along. Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or 3 years of equivalent work experience. 3+ years of experience building and operating production software in Python. Experience debugging distributed systems or data pipelines in production, using logs, metrics, and task state to find root causes. Experience deploying machine learning models on GPU infrastructure, including dependency management and GPU memory sizing. Experience designing input validation and configuration contracts for systems where late failures are costly. Demonstrated ability to explain machine learning concepts and tradeoffs to non-technical partners such as designers or product managers. Proven, hands-on use of agentic AI coding tools in day-to-day software development, including judging where they are effective and where their output needs human verification. Experience working directly with partner teams or internal customers to define and ship features. Experience measuring the domain gap between synthetic and real data, including visual statistics and non-visual properties such as metadata and label distributions. Experience with generative image, video, or large language model APIs, including structured output. Familiarity with image and video file formats and metadata standards. Experience with batch compute platforms or job schedulers.
