Responsibilities

• Curate image and video training datasets for specific styles, aesthetics, and visual capabilities.
• Evaluate and select reference material based on stylistic accuracy, quality, and diversity.

• Write and iterate on prompts to test model outputs against style targets.
• Assess model outputs for quality, style fidelity, and failure modes.
• Collaborate with ML engineers and researchers on training data requirements.
• Stay current with the rapidly evolving landscape of generative AI image and video models.

Required Qualifications

• Deep knowledge of visual styles and aesthetics — ability to recognize and articulate what defines a broad range of styles (fine art movements, photography genres, illustration styles, cinematic looks, design trends, etc.).
• Attention to detail — ability to spot subtle quality issues such as color accuracy, anatomical correctness, lighting inconsistencies, or stylistic drift.
• Speed and volume — comfortable working through large datasets efficiently without sacrificing quality.
• Background in art direction, photography, design, illustration, or a related visual field — you need a trained eye.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Prior experience curating or labeling training data for AI/ML models.
• Experience with the latest AI image and video generation tools and proven prompt engineering skills.
• Ability to keep up with the fast pace of change in the AI creative tools space.
