About us
At Nuanced, we’re at the cutting edge of a critical challenge: detecting AI-generated and digitally manipulated images. As synthetic media continues to grow exponentially, the demand for reliable and accurate detection has never been greater. We are a fast-moving startup where every engineer plays a pivotal role in shaping both the technology and the future of the company.If you’re driven by ownership, eager to tackle real-world challenges, and excited by the opportunity to work in a space with massive potential for impact, Nuanced offers the chance to make a tangible difference from day one.About the role
As the Founding Machine Learning Engineer at Nuanced, you will be pivotal in driving our mission forward. You’ll balance research with real-world application, taking on the challenge of building robust machine learning models that detect AI-generated content with precision.This is more than an R&D role—you’ll be developing models that ship to production, working closely with the team to integrate your solutions and iterate quickly based on feedback. You'll have the freedom to push the boundaries of AI research while delivering impactful, customer-focused results.What you’ll be working on
Conduct novel research in AI-generated image detection, staying ahead of the latest advancements in the field.Design, develop, and deploy machine learning models to detect AI-generated and manipulated images at scale.Implement scalable algorithms for real-time inference in production systems.Collaborate closely with cross-functional teammates to integrate your models into our product.Rapidly prototype and iterate on solutions based on performance metrics and customer feedback.Shape the strategic direction of our AI architecture and detection capabilities.What we’re looking for
Education:
Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, or a related field.Experience:
Proven track record in machine learning model development, with a focus on computer vision and image processing.Research & development:
