ABOUT BLACK FOREST LABS
We’re the team building the foundational layer for visual intelligence: multimodal models trained jointly on images, video, audio, and action to see, generate, and understand the world.
Our founding team pioneered latent diffusion and Stable Diffusion, the breakthroughs that made generative AI accessible to millions. With FLUX, we're pushing into generative media at scale, machines that act in the physical world, and emerging applications in computer use.
Our FLUX models top public benchmarks and run in production in some of the world's biggest platforms. We're a small, fast growing research lab competing with the largest companies in the world. From our labs in Freiburg to San Francisco, we're building what comes next.
WHY THIS ROLE
Our model research moves fast. What's missing is someone accountable for one question: what should our models get better at next, and how will we know when they have?
You’ll lead Product Research, the team between our researchers and the market. You’ll take raw signal from evals, leaderboards, customers and usage data, turn it into a clear measure of where our models stand, and decide which gaps matter most. Your squad of Applied Researchers runs the evals and closes those gaps through post-training. You’ll work closely with Research, Backend, Product and GTM.
WHAT YOU'LL WORK ON
- Evaluations. Own the product-facing eval taxonomy, eval strategy, and eval runs.
- Priorities. Maintain a ranked list of what our models should get better at, built from evals, leaderboards, customer feedback and usage data, a
