Founding Machine Learning Engineer

Senior Software Engineer, Machine Learning

We're looking for our first product-minded machine learning engineer who's excited to push the boundaries of what's possible with AI. At Arcade, you'll experiment with the latest models to generate visuals, motion, and language that capture brand personality - crafting the foundation for content that builds and improves itself.

This is a highly collaborative and high-impact role. You'll partner closely with design, engineering, and product to build and customize machine learning models. Expect to move fast, own ambitious projects, and see your ideas shape the way people tell product stories.

Who You Are / What You'll Do

• Own the ML stack end-to-end : Evaluate hosted models, fine-tune open-source ones, and build scalable pipelines for image, video, and text generation.
• Develop brand-aligned generation systems : Create techniques for tone, color, and style fidelity across mediums.
• Improve generation quality : Build internal evaluation frameworks to measure realism, brand match, and creative diversity.
• Prototype and ship : Rapidly turn research ideas into productized APIs that power Arcade's content generation features.
• Collaborate cross-functionally : Work with design and marketing to define what "on-brand" means, and with engineers to integrate ML systems into production.
• Lay the foundation for content optimization : Build data pipelines connecting engagement metrics to model tuning.

What We're Looking For

Strong Python + ML engineering background (PyTorch, diffusers, transformers, or similar).

Why Arcade Might Be a Great Fit for You :

Enjoy perks like unlimited PTO, rich health / 401(k) plans, meeting-light culture, remote stipend, and biannual retreats.
