Job Description: About IntangibleIntangible is a spatial intelligence AI company for creatives in film, advertising, events, marketing and interactive media. We make constructing 3D experiences dramatically faster, cheaper and more collaborative for creative, distributed teams. We are an interdisciplinary team of engineers, artists and designers that have built and shipped multiple end-to-end products at companies like Apple, Unity, Pixar, ILM and Electronic Arts. Intangible is seed funded by a16z Speedrun, Crosslink Capital and prominent angels.We are a design-obsessed, engineering-heavy team shipping a groundbreaking product — and we’re looking for someone who shares our attention to detail and love of craft.About the RoleWe’re looking for a Applied AI Engineer focused in Image/Video Diffusion  to join our growing team. You'll play a principal role in designing and building AI assistants that empower people to use interactive 3D as a medium.Location: Preference for SF/Bay Area, CA. Open to remote candidates in North America & Western EU.ResponsibilitiesDevelop and optimize visual generative AI models (e.g. Stable Diffusion, Flux) for fast inference and high-quality outputsDesign inference pipelines to deliver real-time or near-real-time visual content generation in production environmentsFine-tune foundation models or adapt pre-trained visual models for domain-specific creative tasks (e.g. 3D asset generation, style transfer)Prototype and integrate AI-driven visual features in collaboration with product and engineering teamsAnalyze and improve model performance, balancing latency, quality, and computational efficiencyBuild and maintain data pipelines for processing and augmenting visual datasets (e.g. images, 3D models, textures)Collaborate with artists and designers to ensure AI outputs meet creative and aesthetic standardsInnovate out-of-the-box creative solutions by leveraging existing generative technologies (e.g. pre-trained models, open-source frameworks) to achieve exceptional visual results tailored to user needsKey CompetenciesProven expertise in software development with a focus on AI/ML applicationsDeep understanding of visual generative AI principles, including diffusion models, GANs, and VAEsStrong experience with modern ML frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow) and visual AI libraries (e.g., Hugging Face Diffusers, OpenCV)Proficiency in optimizing models for fast inference (e.g., quantization, pruning, knowledge distillation)Experience with visual data processing and storage, including vector databases for embeddings (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate)Proficient in Python and related ML/visual processing libraries (e.g., PIL, NumPy, Blender Python API)Ability to ship end-to-end AI features in production environmentsBonus QualitiesExperience building real-time visual AI systems for creative applications (e.g., 3D modeling, animation, or game development)Background in computer graphics, 3D rendering, or computational designFamiliarity with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) and containerization (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes) for deploying AI modelsExperience with hardware acceleration (e.g., CUDA, TensorRT) for optimizing visual model inferenceKnowledge of creative tools (e.g., Blender, Unreal Engine, Unity) and their integration with AI pipelinesContributions to open-source visual AI projects or research in generative AI optimizationBenefits We are a remote-first company with a small concentration in the Bay Area.Health insurance for you and your dependants401(k) plan Flexible PTO
