AI Model Architect & Creative Developer

Contract: 12 months (with potential extension).

Location: Hybrid – Onsite in Cupertino.

We’re looking for a AI Model Architect & Creative Developer (Technical Production Designer), a detail-oriented and technically creative professional to join a world-class Content Design team within Product Design & Marketing. This position combines hands-on design execution with advanced AI/ML systems thinking. You’ll architect agentic AI workflows and multi-agent systems, integrate internal model endpoints and tools, and collaborate with creative and technical teams to scale high-quality content production.

What You’ll Do

• Design and implement agentic and multi-agent patterns (planner-critic-actor, tool use, memory/knowledge retrieval, safety gates).
• Integrate AI models, APIs, and creative tools, defining guardrails and observability for safe and compliant deployment.
• Develop retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines grounded in internal style guides and knowledge bases.
• Build AI-assisted creative workflows that generate on-brand copy, imagery, and microcopy for designer-in-the-loop approval.
• Create prompt libraries, evaluation datasets, and reusable frameworks for scalable content operations.
• Optimize AI and design pipelines through documentation, process refinement, and QA testing.
• Implement evaluation harnesses for quality, bias, and compliance, and monitor performance metrics.
• Maintain clear, accessible documentation (style guides, workflows, specs) and train partners on safe, on-brand execution.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with designers, writers, producers, engineers, and data scientists to translate creative vision into technical systems.
• Work with internal AI models and tools under strict privacy, security, and brand guidelines

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience in production design or a similar creative technical role, with a portfolio showcasing meticulous design execution.
• Hands-on experience with LLMs and generative AI (text, vision, or audio), prompt engineering, and tool/function calling.
• Strong understanding of agentic/multi-agent architecture and workflow automation.
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (especially Photoshop) and scripting (Python preferred; Swift or JavaScript a plus).
• Exceptional organizational and documentation skills, with a methodical approach to QA and workflow optimization.
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills across creative and technical functions.
• Familiarity with privacy, security, accessibility, and compliance best practices in AI systems.

Bonus Points

• Experience building automation tools or custom creative agents.
• Knowledge of front-end or creative coding (SwiftUI, React, Processing, TouchDesigner, Unity).
• Exposure to media AI (image/video/audio generation, ASR/TTS) and experimentation platforms.
