AI Art Director/Prompt Engineer

TEKsystems•San Jose, CA

1d•$50 - $50•Remote

About The Position

We're looking for Art Directors to join a team working on training data curation for generative AI image and video models. You'll curate and evaluate visual datasets that teach models to produce new styles as well as improve core visual capabilities. You'll also contribute prompt engineering work to evaluate and refine model outputs. This is a hands-on, visually demanding role. You'll need a sharp editorial eye, deep fluency across a wide range of visual styles and aesthetics, and the ability to work quickly and at volume.

Requirements

Strong visual curation ability — demonstrated experience selecting, organizing, or editing large sets of images or video based on style, quality, and intent
Deep knowledge of visual styles and aesthetics — ability to recognize and articulate what defines a broad range of styles (fine art movements, photography genres, illustration styles, cinematic looks, design trends, etc.)
Attention to detail — ability to spot subtle quality issues such as color accuracy, anatomical correctness, lighting inconsistencies, or stylistic drift
Speed and volume — comfortable working through large datasets efficiently without sacrificing quality
Background in art direction, photography, design, illustration, or a related visual field — you need a trained eye

Nice To Haves

Prior experience curating or labeling training data for AI/ML models
Experience with the latest AI image and video generation tools and proven prompt engineering skills
Ability to keep up with the fast pace of change in the AI creative tools space
Experience working cross-functionally with technical teams (ML engineers, researchers)
Finger on the pulse of current visual trends across social and creative platforms

Responsibilities

Curate image and video training datasets for specific styles, aesthetics, and visual capabilities
Evaluate and select reference material based on stylistic accuracy, quality, and diversity
Define and document the visual elements that characterize a given style (color, composition, texture, lighting, subject matter, etc.)
Write and iterate on prompts to test model outputs against style targets
Assess model outputs for quality, style fidelity, and failure modes
Collaborate with ML engineers and researchers on training data requirements
Stay current with the rapidly evolving landscape of generative AI image and video models
