About this role
This freelance AI Engineer role is part of the AI Technology Division and focuses on image generation and image processing. Responsibilities include conducting proof-of-concept trials for image-generation services; evaluating, introducing, and sharing internally new AI technologies related to image processing and generation; training, tuning, and optimizing image-generation models; and researching and developing image-processing and image-generation technologies.
Required experience includes solving problems with image-generation technology or conducting investigations to solve problems, as well as practical experience with machine learning or deep learning. Candidates must understand image processing and generative models such as diffusion models, VAEs, and GANs. The posting also asks for communication skills and an ability to value teamwork.
Preferred qualifications include a bachelor's degree or higher in image generation, image processing, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience. Experience using and comparing multiple image-generation services, including DALL-E 3 and Adobe Firefly, is welcomed. Additional preferred experience includes fine-tuning existing models to improve generated-image quality, evaluating the quality of generated image data, handling large image datasets, understanding AI ethics, and working in the game industry.
The role is intended for someone who is curious about and motivated by new technologies, strongly interested in problem solving, able to think creatively, cooperative in cross-functional teams, and capable of independently continuing to learn and update their knowledge.
