📋 Description

• We’re looking for a Head of GenAI Platform to define and scale the infrastructure powering every AI capability at Photoroom.
• You’ll lead the strategy behind our generative AI platform, from model orchestration and inference infrastructure to foundation model training, enabling our teams to ship breakthrough AI products faster than anyone else.
• This is a highly strategic leadership role combining deep technical expertise, organisational leadership, and product thinking.
• You’ll work closely with our CTO and senior leaders across Product and Engineering to shape how AI is built, deployed, and scaled across the company.
• Your responsibilities will include defining the long-term vision and technical strategy for our GenAI Platform, building the infrastructure that powers image generation, video generation, model serving, orchestration, evaluation and agentic workflows, partnering with Research to rapidly bring new models into production, driving platform reliability, scalability and cost efficiency across billions of inference requests, leading and growing a multidisciplinary team of ML Engineers, Software Engineers and Researchers, creating an environment where ambitious technical ideas can move from research to production in days rather than months, and working closely with Product, Engineering and Executive leadership to ensure platform investments directly accelerate product innovation.
• You’ll be responsible for building both the technical foundations and the organisation that enable Photoroom’s next generation of AI products.
• You’ll likely have significant experience leading Machine Learning or AI organisations within product-focused companies, experience building and operating large-scale AI platforms, including model serving, orchestration, inference infrastructure or agent frameworks, strong technical expertise across Generative AI, Computer Vision or Foundation Models, experience growing high-performing engineering and research teams through hiring, coaching and organisational design, a track record of translating ambitious research into production systems used by millions of users, strong product instincts and the ability to balance long-term technical investments against immediate customer impact, excellent communication skills and experience partnering with Product, Engineering, Marketing and Executive stakeholders.
• Within your first 12-18 months, you’ll have established a clear long-term strategy for Photoroom’s AI platform, built infrastructure that significantly reduces the time required to ship new AI capabilities, enabled research teams to move new models into production rapidly and reliably, improved platform performance, reliability and infrastructure efficiency at scale, built and retained a world-class team of ML Engineers, Researchers and Platform Engineers, created evaluation frameworks that allow model quality, cost and latency to be measured consistently across the platform, and helped define the technical direction that underpins the next generation of AI-powered products at Photoroom.
• Every AI capability at Photoroom depends on the platform your team builds.
• From foundation model training to model orchestration, evaluation pipelines and production inference, you’ll shape the technical backbone that enables our teams to innovate quickly while operating at massive scale.
• This is an opportunity to influence both the long-term direction of our AI strategy and the systems that process billions of images every year.
• We believe great people do their best work when given ownership, autonomy and ambitious problems to solve.
• We offer competitive salary and meaningful equity, hybrid working from our Paris headquarters, visa sponsorship and relocation support, MacBook Pro and full home office setup, 30 days annual leave, private healthcare, regular company off-sites and team retreats, and a collaborative, high-performance engineering culture focused on shipping impactful AI products.
• We’re committed to enabling everyone to feel included and valued at work.
• We believe our company and culture are strongest when composed of diverse experiences and backgrounds.
• That’s also why we have flexible working hours, trust people to work remotely, and extended parental leave.
