Machine Learning Engineer

54,000 new photos are taken every second, and 600 hours of video are uploaded every minute. At Topaz Labs, we help over 1 million paying customers (including teams at Apple, Netflix, and NASA) maximize the visual quality of over 1 billion of these photos and videos. 

About us

Topaz Labs is a full-stack AI company that develops, trains, and deploys generative AI models for image and video enhancement. We’re the best in the world at improving image and video quality, and produce several award-winning desktop products that millions of people rely on. 

Image and video creation has exploded in the past few years and we’ve grown with it, but we still only process a tiny fraction of the world’s content. We’re building an elite team dedicated to bringing our technology to every image and video that needs it. We execute quickly, obsess about the customer experience, and promote from within. We’re also profitable with an infinite runway.

About the role 

As a Machine Learning Engineer you’ll partner with our deep learning research and engineering teams to build models that perform best-in-world image and video upscaling. From tweaking model parameters to productizing never before seen computer vision models, this role will bridge the gap between research and software engineering. We prototype, build, and deploy new products at a rapid pace, and you’ll help us build better AI products and tools for our millions of users.
