Black Forest Labs•San Francisco, CA

About The Position

We're the ~50-person team behind FLUX.1, FLUX.2, and Stable Diffusion—models with 400M+ downloads that have fundamentally changed what's possible in visual creation. Our founding team invented latent diffusion and continues to push the technical frontier. We are hiring for a Software Engineer on the growth team to focus on our self-serve customers (consumer, prosumer, and self-serve B2B) and product-led growth. You'll operate at the intersection of engineering, product, and marketing. You'll join our small, high-impact growth team to build the infrastructure that turns research leadership into market dominance—establishing the loops, community, and systematic engagement that make BFL the obvious choice for anyone building with visual AI. The work will be a mix of novel channel creation and optimization on our channels already at scale. You'll operate across the full range of our metrics — including driving awareness, acquisition, retention, revenue, and referral.
