Machine Learning Engineer

Machine Learning Engineer

Leonardo.Ai is building one of the world's most advanced generative-media platforms, empowering millions of people to turn ideas into high-quality images and videos in seconds. Now part of the Canva family, we're scaling our global R&D team to make creativity faster, smarter, and more accessible for everyone.

We're looking for a Machine Learning Engineer who enjoys working hands-on across model development and ML systems, someone who wants to learn, ship real features, and grow in a high-context, collaborative environment.

You'll join the AI Engineering team inside the Platform Tribe, where we build the training pipelines, inference systems, and model-serving tooling that help teams across Leonardo deliver reliable AI-powered creative experiences at scale.

Your work will support features such as high-fidelity image generation, stylisation workflows, and emerging image-to-video capabilities, helping turn cutting-edge research into creative tools people use every day.

This role offers deep exposure to generative ML, including diffusion and transformer models, while developing your confidence in performance optimisation, GPU environments, and reproducible workflows. You'll work alongside senior ML engineers and research scientists, gaining context and stepping into more ownership as you grow.

If you're excited about generative media and want to sharpen both your modelling and engineering depth, you'll thrive here.

What You'll Do

Model Development and Evaluation

• Collaborate with research scientists to adapt and fine-tune diffusion and transformer-based models.
• Run experiments and evaluate model outputs to improve quality and consistency.
• Contribute to performance improvements such as batching, caching, or quantisation with guidance.
• Help identify bottlenecks and opportunities for generation improvements.

Why You'll Love Working Here

You'll be building technology that directly enables human creativity at scale, not just optimising models in isolation, but shaping how real people express ideas, tell stories, and create art. You'll join a team that values thoughtful engineering, shared context, and steady growth over ego or heroics. There is room to explore, room to ask questions, and room to develop depth in the areas that genuinely interest you. We work with curiosity, we build with care, and we learn from each other as we go.
