Job description

The Opportunity

Artificial Analysis benchmarks leading image and video generation models, providing the AI industry with independent quality and performance comparisons. Our media generation benchmarks rely on structured human preference evaluations to assess output quality across models.

We're hiring a Solutions Engineer to manage our media generation benchmarking pipeline. You'll run image and video generation evaluations, manage human preference studies, and serve as a technical point of contact for media generation model providers. This is a process‑driven, operational role suited to someone who is detail‑oriented, comfortable with Python, and can manage pipelines reliably day‑to‑day.

What You’ll Do

• Generate image and video outputs across models according to standardized evaluation protocols
• Set up and manage human preference evaluation studies, including study design, participant management, and quality control
• Process and analyze preference vote data to produce benchmark results
• Manage the end‑to‑end pipeline: from prompt execution through to published results
• Serve as a technical point of contact for media generation model providers — communicating results, explaining methodology, and handling queries
• Monitor data quality, flag anomalies, and ensure consistency across evaluation rounds
• Maintain documentation of processes and configurations
• Stay current with new image and video model releases

What We’re Looking For

Required:

• 3+ years of experience in a technical operations, data operations, or solutions engineering role
• Comfortable with Python scripting and working with APIs
• Experience managing research studies, data collection pipelines, or crowdsourcing platforms is a strong plus
• Detail-oriented with strong process management skills — you can run recurring workflows reliably without oversight
• Good written and verbal English communication skills
• Responsive, organized, and dependable

Nice to have (not required):

• Experience with image or video generation models (Midjourney, DALL‑E, Stable Diffusion, Runway, Sora, etc.)
• Background in data analysis or research operations
• Familiarity with human evaluation methodologies or preference-based ranking systems
• Experience in B2B SaaS or developer tools

• Become a world expert in AI: You will evaluate every major model, across every major capability, as they are released. Very few roles offer this breadth of exposure to frontier AI.
• Work with the most important players in AI: You'll manage relationships with teams at the leading AI labs and major enterprises as a trusted, independent voice.
• Join at a defining moment: We're 35+ people and fast growing, backed by some of the most connected investors in AI. The people who join now will shape the product, the team, and the strategy as we scale.
• Competitive compensation including equity
• Our team is split across San Francisco, Sydney, and Melbourne
