About Black Forest Labs

We're the team behind Latent Diffusion, Stable Diffusion, and FLUX - foundational technologies that changed how the world creates images and video. We’re creating the generative models that power how people make images and video—tools used by millions of creators, developers, and businesses worldwide. Our FLUX models are among the most advanced in the world, and we're just getting started.

Headquartered in Freiburg, Germany with a growing presence in San Francisco, we're scaling fast while staying true to what makes us different: research excellence, open science, and building technology that expands human creativity.

Why This Role

BFL's models need someone who knows them inside out - not just what they can do today, but what nobody's tried yet. This role sits at the intersection of creative excellence, deep model knowledge, and go-to-market impact. You'll create the work that makes people realize what's possible with generative media - original pieces, experiments, and creative assets that set the standard for what FLUX can do and show it to the world

What You’ll Work On

• Create original creative work that pushes FLUX to its limits - experiments, visual explorations, and pieces that show what's possible before anyone else figures it out
• Collaborate with the research and product teams from the start of training/product development to understand the core strengths of each new model/product and create assets that amplify and showcase these. You will also provide feedback to those teams throughout the development process on what needs to improve.
• Bridge the gap between tech teams who develop the models/products and the creatives who’re the end users of the technology. Work closely with the tech teams to give them a better understanding of those properties of the model, that are highly valuable to creatives.
• Produce high-quality creative assets for social media, events, and GTM that demonstrate model quality and build BFL's creative credibility
• Build interactive experiences, installations, and proof-of-concepts for events and campaigns
• Explore novel creative territory across video, 3D, animation, and real-time applications
• Support customer enablement when needed - help define what's feasible for custom projects, finetuning, and creative workflows
• Work with DevRel, Product, Marketing and other Creative Technologists to turn experiments into shareable, reproducible examples

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years in creative technology, digital art, or experimental media
• Strong visual portfolio demonstrating creative excellence
• Deep knowledge of the FLUX ecosystem - ComfyUI, common training frameworks, the tools practitioners actually use. Not surface-level familiarity, you should be a power user
• Have deep knowledge of diffusion models and/or flow matching, including finetuning and distillation techniques that go beyond standard tutorials
• Deep understanding of generative AI and diffusion models
• Active presence in creative AI commnity (Twitter/X, Discord, etc.) is a nice to have

Nice to have

• Active presence in the creative AI community (X, Discord, YouTube) - you're already someone people follow for generative AI work
• Working knowledge of Python for scripting and rapid prototyping
• Experience creating content for social media that got real traction in the AI/creative space
• Experience supporting sales or GTM teams with creative assets and technical feasibility

If this sounds like work you’d enjoy, we’d love to hear from you.
