Job description

One of the country’s largest entertainment and technology innovators is searching for a Machine Learning Engineer to join their AI Engineering, Computer Vision team in a hybrid capacity onsite in either Glendale or Anaheim, CA. In this role, you’ll drive meaningful impact by building the next wave of generative AI solutions that shape guest experiences and bring life to some of the most iconic characters of entertainment. If you thrive on cutting‑edge research, launching enterprise‑grade ML systems, and collaborating across creative teams, this opportunity is your chance to pioneer industry‑leading applications in a dynamic environment.

This exciting opportunity to join one of the country's most beloved brands begins as an 18‑month W2 contract, offering full‑time hours, a hybrid schedule, competitive benefits, and the potential for long‑term extension and/or conversion to permanent employment in a collaborative environment focused on technical innovation, safety, and scalability.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement advanced generative AI systems for text‑to‑image, text‑to‑video, speech synthesis, and voice cloning applications, ensuring robust safety guardrails for character‑driven content.
• Develop cross‑modal content generation platforms that span text, image, video, and audio, enabling multimedia experiences and enhanced accessibility.
• Build scalable, real‑time generative solutions for interactive environments and IoT, optimizing for low‑latency performance.
• Develop automated model evaluation frameworks for content quality, safety compliance, and brand alignment, integrating human‑in‑the‑loop assessment where required.
• Engineer custom ML pipelines to detect hallucination, measure bias, and benchmark generative models across multi‑cloud environments.
• Implement state‑of‑the‑art techniques including diffusion models, transformer architectures, adversarial training, prompt engineering, and constitutional AI for responsible content creation.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams—including security, product, and creative—to deliver production‑ready AI infrastructure supporting live marketing, guest experiences, and global customer service.
• Lead the creation of real‑time monitoring, drift detection, and retraining systems, as well as scalable model serving solutions with automatic load balancing.
• Develop marketing‑focused content generation engines (e.g., text‑to‑video, voice synthesis for campaigns), personalized experiences for theme park guests, and accessibility‑driven solutions for global audiences.

Skills & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Machine Learning, Computer Science, or a related discipline required; advanced academic credentials highly valued.
• Professional experience developing and scaling industry ML solutions for media analysis, content creation, or interactive systems.
