📋 Description

• Design, build, and deploy end-to-end AI-powered product experiences from concept through production. • Architect and implement scalable AI systems leveraging LLMs, embeddings, multimodal models, retrieval systems, agent frameworks, and modern data infrastructure. • Build production-grade multi-agent workflows and orchestration systems using frameworks such as LangGraph, LangChain, Mastra, and custom tooling. • Develop and optimize Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems, including embeddings, vector search, retrieval pipelines, chunking strategies, and relevance tuning. • Build multimodal AI workflows that analyze and reason over images, creative assets, and visual datasets using modern multimodal LLMs, embedding models, and specialized tooling such as SAM2/SAM3. • Create AI-assisted experiences for search, discovery, content generation, personalization, and creative workflows across Material Bank’s platform. • Evaluate, refine, and improve AI-generated outputs for quality, tone, accuracy, and creative alignment through testing, iteration, and human-in-the-loop evaluation strategies. • Partner closely with Product, Design, Engineering, Data, and Executive Leadership to identify high-impact opportunities and translate ambiguous ideas into production-ready AI capabilities. • Make architectural decisions that balance speed, scalability, latency, cost, accuracy, and long-term maintainability. • Continuously evaluate emerging AI technologies, models, frameworks, and workflows to identify opportunities that create meaningful business and user value.

🎯 Requirements

• 8+ years of experience building and shipping production software, including significant full-stack engineering experience. • Demonstrated success designing and deploying production-grade AI/ML systems and AI-powered product experiences. • Deep hands-on experience with LLMs, embeddings, multimodal AI systems, RAG architectures, and multi-agent frameworks such as LangGraph, LangChain, Mastra, or equivalent custom tooling. • Strong engineering fundamentals across backend systems, APIs, data pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and modern JavaScript/TypeScript and Python ecosystems. • Experience working with multimodal models, visual analysis systems, and image-based AI workflows at scale, including familiarity with modern image-generation tooling and services. • Strong systems thinking with the ability to balance trade-offs across latency, cost, scalability, accuracy, reliability, and user experience. • Proven ability to independently take ambiguous problems from idea to shipped product with minimal oversight. • Strong product instincts, visual sensibility, and a high bar for quality, usability, and craftsmanship in AI-generated experiences. • Genuine interest in creative industries such as architecture, design, fashion, media, photography, or art, with an appreciation for aesthetics and taste. • Open-source contributions, side projects, or publicly demonstrable AI work that reflects curiosity, experimentation, and passion for applied AI are strongly preferred. • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively across both technical and non-technical teams.

🏖️ Benefits

• Flexible PTO, Sick Days, Paid National Holidays, and even more (ask us about this when we connect). • We contribute to your medical, dental, vision and short-term/long-term disability plans and have a strong employee assistance program. • 401(k) eligible after your first 90 day's employed! • We sponsor multiple events throughout the year to help out our communities. • We’ll help you take your career to the next level.
