• Deep learning fundamentals in generative models; familiarity with Transformers and diffusion models.
• Ability to read research papers, translate ideas into high-quality code, and communicate results clearly to peers.
• Strong Python skills and proficiency in a major DL framework (JAX preferred; PyTorch experience welcome with willingness to learn JAX).
• Interest in the creative industry and image generation for design and passion for making research land in a real product.
• Prior publications, impactful open-source contributions, or strong project write-ups demonstrating research experience.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation and equity designed to recognize the value and impact of your contributions to Ideogram’s success.
• 4 weeks of vacation to recharge and explore.

• Top-of-the-line tools and tech to fuel your creativity and productivity.
• Toronto HQ perks: Steps from Union Station and the PATH, with team lunches every Tuesday and dinners every Thursday.
• Autonomy to explore and experiment — whether you’re testing new ideas, running large-scale experiments, or diving into research, you’ll have access to compute/resources you need when there’s a clear business or creative use case. We encourage curiosity and bold thinking.
• A culture of learning and growth, where curiosity is encouraged and mentorship is part of the journey.
• Fully remote flexibility across North America, with regular in-person team meetups and collaboration opportunities.
