A US-based, venture-funded company transforming eCommerce visuals with AI-powered bulk photo editing is Looking for:

🎯 Role Overview

• Build and own AI-backed features end to end, from ideation to production — including layout logic, smart cropping, visual enhancement, out-painting and GenAI workflows for background fills
• Design scalable APIs that wrap vision models like BiRefNet, YOLOv8, Grounding DINO, SAM, CLIP, ControlNet, etc., into batch and real-time pipelines.
• Write production-grade Python code to manipulate and transform image data using NumPy, OpenCV (cv2), PIL, and PyTorch.
• Handle pixel-level transformations — from custom masks and color space conversions to geometric warps and contour ops — with speed and precision.
• Integrate your models into our production web app (AWS based Python/Java backend) and optimize them for latency, memory, and throughput
• Frame problems when specs are vague — you’ll help define what “good” looks like, and then build it
• Collaborate with product, UX, and other engineers without relying on formal handoffs — you own your domain
  
  
  

What You’ll Need

• 2–3 years of hands-on experience with vision and image generation models such as YOLO, Grounding DINO, SAM, CLIP, Stable Diffusion, VITON, or TryOnGAN — including experience with inpainting and outpainting workflows using Stable Diffusion pipelines (e.g., Diffusers, InvokeAI, or custom-built solutions)
• Strong hands-on knowledge of NumPy, OpenCV, PIL, PyTorch, and image visualization/debugging techniques.
• 1–2 years of experience working with popular LLM APIs such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini and how to compose multi-modal pipelines
• Solid grasp of production model integration — model loading, GPU/CPU optimization, async inference, caching, and batch processing.
• Experience solving real-world visual problems like object detection, segmentation, composition, or enhancement.
• Ability to debug and diagnose visual output errors — e.g., weird segmentation artifacts, off-center crops, broken masks.
• Deep understanding of image processing in Python: array slicing, color formats, augmentation, geometric transforms, contour detection, etc.
• Experience building and deploying FastAPI services and containerizing them with Docker for AWS-based infra (ECS, EC2/GPU, Lambda).
• Solid grasp of production model integration — model loading, GPU/CPU optimization, async inference, caching, and batch processing.
• A customer-centric approach — you think about how your work affects end users and product experience, not just model performance
• A quest for high-quality deliverables — you write clean, tested code and debug edge cases until they’re truly fixed
• The ability to frame problems from scratch and work without strict handoffs — you build from a goal, not a ticket
  
  
  

Who You Are

• You’ve built systems — not just prototypes
• You care about both ML results and the system’s behavior in production
• You’re comfortable taking a rough business goal and shaping the technical path to get there
• You’re energized by product-focused AI work — things that users feel and rely on
• You’ve worked in or want to work in a startup-grade environment: messy, fast, and impactful
  
  
  

What You Get

• Full autonomy over your problem space
• A builder-first, no-handoff culture
• Remote-first flexibility (India preferred)
• Base + Variable + meaningful equity
• A product shipping to some of the world’s most recognizable brands
