The role focuses on advancing the next generation of generative AI systems for professional creative workflows, spanning image, video, 3D, vector graphics, and design.\nThis is a general research role with room for academic publication, long-horizon exploration, and technically ambitious work, while remaining grounded in real projects with meaningful product impact. The ideal candidate can move fluidly between frontier research, rigorous experimentation, and prototype systems that inform how professional creators work with generative AI.\nWe are looking for a broad, technically deep researcher who can combine ideas across fields and modalities, connecting concepts from areas such as computer vision, graphics, generative modeling, and design to address complex creative workflows.\nYou will work on research that enables creators and enterprises to generate, edit, structure, refine, and reuse visual assets across modalities, supporting workflows in which different forms of media and design intent work together rather than as isolated generation tasks.\nResponsibilities\nConduct original research in generative AI for professional creative workflows across image, video, 3D, vector graphics, and design.\nDevelop new methods that advance the state of the art while remaining relevant to real creative and production workflows.\nPublish research at leading academic venues where appropriate, while also contributing to high-impact internal projects.\nExplore multimodal generative systems that integrate image, video, 3D, vector graphics, and design, with an emphasis on controllability, editability, and reusable asset creation.\nTranslate research insights into prototypes, experiments, and model capabilities that can inform product direction.\nWork with researchers, engineers, designers, and product teams to identify important research problems with meaningful downstream impact.\nDesign datasets, benchmarks, and evaluation protocols for professional workflows where quality, editability, consistency, brand adherence, and production usefulness matter.\nStay at the frontier of generative media research and identify opportunities to combine ideas across computer graphics, vision, language, video, and creative tooling.\nContribute to a research culture that values technical depth, intellectual breadth, publication quality, and practical relevance.\nQualifications\nStrong academic research track record in computer vision, computer graphics, machine learning, generative modeling, computational imaging, visual computing, or a related field.\nPhD or equivalent research experience in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Computer Graphics, Computer Vision, or a closely related discipline.\nDemonstrated ability to conduct original research, publish papers, and build working systems or prototypes.\nExperience in generative and multimodal modeling, including areas such as diffusion models, transformers, 3D generation, neural rendering, inverse rendering, video generation, image editing, controllable generation, or design automation.\nBroad technical background across several of the following areas:\nGenerative image models\nVideo generation or video editing\n3D asset generation, reconstruction, neural rendering, or geometry processing\nDifferentiable rendering, inverse rendering, materials, lighting, or relighting\nVector graphics, layout, typography, or design systems\nMultimodal representation learning\nProfessional media, VFX, games, e-commerce, design, or creative tooling\nStrong programming skills in Python and PyTorch, with the ability to implement, adapt, and extend modern research code.\nAbility to reason about both research quality and workflow quality, including controllability, iteration speed, editability, consistency, reliability, and integration into existing creative processes.\nStrong communication skills, with the ability to explain research ideas clearly to both research and product-oriented collaborators.\nEvidence of creative technical judgment: the ability to combine ideas from different fields into new research directions rather than only incrementally improving existing systems.\nHighly Desirable\nPublications at top-tier venues such as CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, SIGGRAPH, SIGGRAPH Asia, NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, or related venues.\nResearch experience spanning more than one modality, especially across image, video, 3D, vector graphics, design, or multimodal generation.\nExperience with professional creative domains such as VFX, games, animation, product visualization, advertising, graphic design, or 3D asset production.\nExperience with controllable generation, layered image editing, material and lighting decomposition, multi-view consistency, relightable assets, vector-aware generation, or structured design outputs.\nExperience building research prototypes that influence product direction or enable new product capabilities.\nEqual Employment Opportunity\nWe are an equal opportunity employer and do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, veteran status, disability, or other legally protected statuses.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5255,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"phd","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Generative
