Senior ML Scientist, GenAI
PicsArt
At Picsart, we bring the wonder of creativity to the world and make it easy. As a Senior Member of Technical Staff on our Generative Computer Vision team, you’ll help invent and deploy breakthrough generative AI capabilities for millions of creators globally. Your work will shape the future of visual expression by building state-of-the-art tools at the intersection of research and real-world impact.
How You'll Make an Impact
-
Invent and publish advanced diffusion, transformer, and multimodal text-to-image/video models, including high-resolution generation (up to 16K).
-
Develop safeguards such as bias checks, watermarking, and systems compliant with the EU AI Act.
-
Build innovative features for image/video retouching, effects, quality enhancement, and avatar generation.
-
Optimize large-scale training and inference pipelines using techniques like sparsity, quantization, distillation, FSDP, TensorRT; deploy on A100/H100 clusters.
-
Design, build, and maintain training and evaluation workflows using PyTorch 2.x, DataBricks, and SLURM.
-
Create human-in-the-loop evaluation frameworks, including CLIP-IQA+ metrics and side-by-side visual comparisons.
-
Collaborate closely with product, design, and engineering teams to ship research-driven features at scale.
What You'll Bring
-
Ph.D. (or equivalent research experience) in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field.
-
5+ years of experience delivering computer vision and generative AI models in production.
-
First-author publications or patents in top-tier venues such as CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, SIGGRAPH, NeurIPS, or ICLR.
-
Deep expertise in PyTorch and CUDA.
-
Hands-on experience with diffusion models, GANs, and vision-language architectures.
-
Strong foundations in linear algebra, probability, optimization, and large-scale model training techniques (e.g., mixed precision, gradient checkpointing).
Good To Have
-
Experience working with 3D generative models or multi-view synthesis.
-
Familiarity with compliance and safety frameworks in generative AI (e.g., model auditing, red-teaming).
-
Contributions to open-source ML/CV projects or toolkits.
-
Experience mentoring junior researchers or leading cross-functional R&D initiatives
