Full Job Description
ABOUT IDEOGRAM Ideogram’s mission is to make world-class design accessible to everyone, multiplying human creativity. We build proprietary generative media models and AI native creative workflows, tackling unsolved challenges in graphic design. Our team includes builders with a track record of technology breakthroughs including early research in Diffusion Models, Google’s Imagen, and Imagen Video. We care about design, taste, and craft as much as research and engineering – shipping experiences that creatives actually love. We’ve raised nearly $100M, led by Andreessen Horowitz and Index Ventures. Headquartered in Toronto with a growing team in NYC, we're scaling fast, aiming to triple over the next year. We're a flat team with a culture of high ownership, collaboration, and mentorship.

THE OPPORTUNITY In this role, you'll push the frontier of visual generative models. You’ll work on large-scale pre-training for our text-to-image foundation models, shaping objectives, algorithms, data, and systems, and turn novel ideas into models that power products used by millions of users. You'll work with a creative and ambitious team of researchers and engineers who are building the future of the creative economy. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - PhD or Master’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent industry experience. - 5+ years of experience in AI research, including training, fine-tuning, and experimenting with foundation models beyond black-box use. - Track record of first-author publications at top-tier AI conferences (e.g., NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, CVPR, ECCV, ICCV, ACL, EMNLP). - Strong proficiency in one or more deep learning frameworks (e.g., JAX, PyTorch). - Experience communicating complex research to peers. - Solid knowledge of programming languages
