### **About the Company** Our client is a **U.S.\-based 3D design software company** that revolutionized the outdoor living and pool design industry — powering over **2 million projects each year** and trusted by **nearly every major player in the market**. They’ve been leading their niche for over **20 years**, changing how professionals visualize, sell, and execute outdoor living designs. Now, they’re taking the next leap: building an **AI\-powered layer** that will redefine what’s possible in 3D rendering and visualization. **This is your chance to join a highly senior, stable team where engineers stay for 8\+ years on average, ship code fast, and work directly with founders — no bureaucracy, no micromanagement, just meaningful, high\-level engineering.** ### **The Role** We’re looking for a **Senior Python AI Engineer** to join their core team and lead the development of **AI image generation systems**. You’ll build and maintain the backend that powers their next\-generation rendering pipeline — developing, fine\-tuning, and deploying models that turn 3D renders into photorealistic images. This is a **pure engineering role** — no front\-end, no management. You’ll focus on **code, models, and experimentation** while collaborating directly with a world\-class technical team. ### **️** **What You’ll Do** * Build and maintain a **Python backend** for AI\-powered image generation. * Integrate with leading **generative AI APIs** (Diffusion, Transformers, LoRA fine\-tuning). * Manage **datasets** for fine\-tuning and training image models. * Own **prompt engineering workflows** and optimization. * Experiment with **LoRA/DreamBooth** to adapt models to proprietary data. * Scale infrastructure to handle **thousands of daily render requests**. * Collaborate directly with senior engineers and founders to iterate and ship fast. ### **Who You Are** * 5\+ years of experience coding in **Python** for production systems. * Hands\-on experience with **generative AI frameworks** (Diffusion, Transformers, LoRA, DreamBooth). * Proven experience **fine\-tuning image models** and building APIs around them. * Experience using providers like **Hugging Face, Stability AI, Replicate, or Flux**. * Strong fundamentals in **data pipelines, optimization, and scaling inference workloads**. * Curious, independent, and genuinely passionate about GenAI and visual systems. * Clear communicator, comfortable working directly with founders and senior peers. ### **Nice\-to\-Haves** * Experience in **creative industries**, **VFX**, or **AI\-assisted design**. * Background in **3D software** (Blender, Unreal, CAD). * Familiarity with **GPU cloud deployment** (AWS, GCP, Azure). ### **Why You’ll Love It** * Join a **high\-trust, senior\-only engineering team** (no junior devs, no middle managers). * Work on **cutting\-edge AI projects** that will shape the future of design visualization. * Direct access to founders — your ideas will matter and ship fast. * Long\-term stability: most engineers have been with the company **8\+ years**. * Competitive compensation in USD and flexible, remote\-friendly setup. * Tons of autonomy, ownership, and technical freedom — **you’ll own your code and your impact**. ### **Hiring Process** Fast and founder\-led: 25\-min intro call with the CEO. 30\-min technical deep dive with Backend Architect (review a past project). 45\-min product \& culture interview with the Ops Director. **Offer within days.**
