Forward Deployed Engineer
Why it's interesting
The company that lit the fuse on generative AI with Stable Diffusion is now staffing FDEs — proof the role has jumped from LLM/enterprise-software land into generative *media*. This seat embeds with creative and enterprise teams (think EA, Universal/Warner Music, WPP) to wire image/video/3D/vector models into real production pipelines: VFX, games, ad, e-commerce. Mid-level bar (4+ yrs), remote US, comp undisclosed — the interesting tell is the skill stack (controllable generation, multi-view consistency, brand-constrained output), not a salary band.
The role
Forward Deployed Engineer at Stability AI helping creative teams and enterprises adopt generative AI across image, video, 3D, vector graphics, and design. Works directly with customers from ambiguous problem to prototype to production: adapting generative/multimodal models to customer datasets, brand requirements, and pipelines; integrating AI into existing creative tools and enterprise systems; and codifying reusable deployment patterns. Wants strong SWE plus generative-AI/computer-vision/graphics experience, Python + PyTorch, and production ML delivery; creative-domain background (VFX, games, animation, advertising, e-commerce, 3D) highly desirable. Mid-level, 4+ years; remote within the US with periodic travel for customer workshops. Verified live on Stability AI’s own careers board (Greenhouse gh_jid 4966000101); posted 2026-09-04, applications close 2026-11-03.
