Research Engineer: Superhuman Visual Generation (London)

At Atman Labs we are building software to emulate proactive human expertise. Emulating human experts with deep knowledge and proactive assistance has largely been impossible to do via standalone Artificial Intelligence techniques. As an applied research and commercialization company we are deploying our products in a number of domains to demonstrate the value of our approach – from proactive shopping assistance to personal teachers to healthcare concierges.

We are hiring for a founding research engineer responsible for designing and implementing pipelines to introduce superhuman and imaginative capabilities into our system that unlock complex commercial opportunities. This will involve deploying and fine-tuning an ensemble of state-of-the-art visual generation techniques and models, such as GANs and diffusion models.

You will be responsible for the cutting edge deployment and fine-tuning of visual-generation algorithms and familiar with ways that they can be more performant and fine-tuned to specific use cases. You ideally have technical experience or intuition to work with generative models, have a deep understanding of the current state of the art across different types of GANs, Diffusion Models, NeRFs, and other Visual Foundation Models.

About You

• You have a PhD in Computer Vision or equivalent industrial expertise in the training, deployment, and fine-tuning of visual generative models, including GANs, NeRFs, and diffusion models.
• You are able to deeply evaluate the state of the art of various image-generation tasks relevant to a current commercial problem.
• You have a strong creative imagination and high visual editorial standards for presentation of generated objects.
• You consider yourself both a hacker and a painter.
• You are eager to process and analyze large amounts of visual data.
• You are intimately familiar with the nuances for fine-tuning or optimizing generative models for certain types of behaviors or subtasks.
• You understand and can critically communicate about state-of-the art tools and frameworks to optimize model performance.
• You have 7+ years of programming experience in Python and have development experience with both DL toolkits like PyTorch or Tensorflow.
• You are equally capable as a software engineer as you are in formulating novel research ideas.
• You are articulate and can present your ideas in writing, in person, and in small groups.
• You can easily distinguish authentic and high integrity thinkers from ‘posers’.
• Your colleagues consider you a highly positive personality.
• Your intensity goes from 0 to 1000 when you become authentically interested in a topic.
• You not only have interests in reinforcement learning, but are deeply curious about a range of interdisciplinary topics.
• You consider yourself an innovator and an original thinker, not a follower.
• You want to work in person in London. Don’t worry, we’ll sponsor your visa.

We’re excited to meet you. If you are too, send a short message with a list of your projects and highlights, as well as a brief paragraph of your life’s story, to shravan@atmanlabs.ai.
