About the Role

Lead the future of AI-powered visual creation

We’re building the next generation of intelligent photo editing tools, and we need a strategic, hands-on leader to guide our computer vision efforts. As Head of Computer Vision, you’ll define the long-term technical roadmap, train billion-parameter foundational models from the ground up, and ensure research breakthroughs translate into real-world product advancements.

What You’ll Own

  • Set the technical direction for computer vision and generative AI at scale, aligning research with product goals
  • Lead, grow, and mentor a team of machine learning engineers and researchers, fostering a culture of technical rigor and innovation
  • Design and refine a research-to-production pipeline that accelerates iteration while maintaining scientific excellence
  • Diagnose and resolve complex model training challenges, from data bottlenecks to convergence issues
  • Build evaluation frameworks that push beyond current industry benchmarks
  • Act as the key technical liaison between machine learning, engineering, product, and commercial teams
  • Recruit top-tier talent and help shape a globally competitive vision team

Who You Are

  • You have led machine learning teams in product-driven environments for at least five years, with proven success in strategic planning and technical mentorship
  • Your expertise spans computer vision and generative AI, with direct experience training large-scale diffusion models
  • You’ve trained billion-parameter models from scratch and understand the full lifecycle of foundational model development
  • You’ve scaled teams beyond eight members, with a track record of hiring, coaching, and retaining technical talent
  • You thrive in cross-functional settings, able to translate deep technical work into business impact
  • You can dive into code, identify performance issues, debug training failures, and guide engineers through technical complexity

How We Work

This role is remote-friendly for candidates within a three-hour flight of Paris, with monthly in-person collaboration. We offer relocation support up to €10,000 and visa sponsorship for those moving to France. You’ll receive a full tech setup, enjoy biannual company retreats, and benefit from flexible scheduling and a trust-based remote policy.

We prioritize curiosity, technical credibility, and empowering leadership. Our culture values craftsmanship, bold thinking, and inclusive collaboration—where ambitious ideas are supported, not stifled.
