US-PA-Philadelphia On-site Employment

URBN is hiring an URBN Staff Engineer, GenAI

Responsibilities

  • Architect and maintain production-grade image and video generation systems, including inpainting, upscaling, style transfer, and post-processing, with focus on performance, observability, and efficiency.
  • Build scalable agentic workflows using frameworks like ADK, A2A, or LangGraph, and develop supporting microservices with tools such as FastAPI or GraphQL.
  • Create and manage MCP servers to enable seamless communication between AI agents and services.
  • Design structured prompt engineering systems to ensure reliable and repeatable visual outputs, especially for fashion and virtual try-on applications.
  • Collaborate with data science teams to implement evaluation-driven quality controls and consistency checks in generative pipelines.
  • Integrate vision-language and multimodal models into operational workflows for tasks like image tagging, caption generation, and pre-deployment quality assessment.
  • Work closely with product, design, and engineering teams to align generative AI solutions with brand and business goals.
  • Conduct proof-of-concept evaluations to assess emerging models, tools, and third-party providers for potential adoption.
  • Develop and support full ML infrastructure, covering training, inference, and deployment of generative models in production environments.

Benefits

  • Medical insurance
  • Dental coverage
  • Vision care
  • Paid time off
  • Employee discounts

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and optimize image and video generation pipelines (generation, inpainting, upscaling, style transfer, conditioning, post-processing) into production-ready, observable services with attention to cost, latency, and throughput.
  • Design and develop agentic workflows (ADK, A2A, LangGraph, or similar), MCP servers (FastMCP or similar), and microservices (FastAPI, GraphQL, or similar) to orchestrate and serve generative AI capabilities at scale.
  • Develop prompt management systems and structured prompting strategies for consistent visual output, learning on the job how to wrangle prompts for fashion-specific and virtual try-on use cases.
  • Engineer consistency mechanisms and quality gates in partnership with data scientists who own evaluation methodology.
  • Integrate multimodal and vision-language models into production workflows for image understanding, automated tagging, captioning, and quality pre-screening.
  • Collaborate with Product Designers, Product Managers, Data Scientists, and other Engineers to translate brand and business needs into scalable generative AI solutions.
  • Evaluate new technologies, models, and vendors through proof-of-concept studies.
  • Implement and maintain ML architecture, including pipelines and applications that enable training and inference of generative models in production.
  • Champion best practices in full-stack algorithm engineering.

Benefits

  • medical
  • dental
  • vision
  • PTO
  • generous employee discounts
