What are the responsibilities and job description for the Creative AI Engineer position at Mediabistro?
Replicate lets you run machine learning models in the cloud. We’re not just another AI company; we’re a team of developers, engineers, and innovators from organizations like Docker, Spotify, Dropbox, GitHub, Heroku, NVIDIA, and more. We’ve built foundational technologies like Docker Compose and OpenAPI, and now, we’re applying that expertise to make AI deployment as intuitive and reliable as web deployment.
The Models team at Replicate keeps our public model library up to date with all the latest generative AI models. We make sure all the popular models are fast, reliable, and easy to use. We use and test models to find each model's unique features. We have our ear to the ground and build new models and pipelines that our users and the community want by opening up the black boxes of open-source models.
As a Creative AI Engineer on the Models team, you'll be hacking on image / video / audio models at the bleeding edge, sometimes before they're publicly released. You'll spend time with the models and really learn their strengths and weaknesses. You'll build in public and share your findings with the community. You'll sometimes create new open-source models and tools in Python and ComfyUI.
About you
You’re an active part of the gen AI community — you spend an inordinate amount of time on X, Discord, Reddit, etc., keeping up with all the latest models and sharing your work.
You can code. You write clean, idiomatic Python and know how to work with machine learning code.
You’re comfortable with ComfyUI.
You do creative, interesting things with generative AI, focused on image and video generation.
You’re a great communicator, both online and in person.
What you’ll be doing
Exploring new image / video / audio models (sometimes before they’re available to the public). You’ll find the edges of those models, discover what they’re good at, interesting use cases, etc.
Publicly building and teaching people how to do interesting things with new models.
Open up the black boxes of open-source models and add new interesting features for the community and our customers.
Building pipelines of models in code and / or ComfyUI.
These aren’t hard requirements, but we definitely want to talk with you if…
You understand machine learning, can reason about model architecture, and understand math.
You’re an artist.
You’re a designer.
You have experience across image, video, as well as speech, audio, and music models.
You can build modern web apps around models.
This role can be remote (anywhere in the United States, UK, or the EU) or in-person. If you're local to the Bay Area, we would like you to work out of our San Francisco office at least 3 days a week.
