• Building Auditing Rules: Spot-checking a wide range of generated imagery against quality benchmarks to ensure that data source assets perform in model training and generation environments.

• Studio & Portal Collaboration: Working on site with the studio team to understand capture setups and ensuring studio photography is tuned to produce high-fidelity content

• Feedback Loops: Communicating structured, actionable aesthetic feedback to engineering and technical teams to tune and improve the generative engine.

• Aesthetic Sensibility: A strong sense of taste and visual judgement (from a background in graphic design, photography, marketing, or fine arts) to evaluate brand compliance and imagery quality.

• Curiosity for Technology: An eager, open-minded approach toward AI and generative image tools including technical systems for creative production and node-based workflows.

Strong "Nice-to-Haves":

• A strong visual portfolio showcasing fine art, photography, graphic design, or commercial advertising work.

• Prior exposure to node-based workflow tools (such as Weave/Figma Weave) or basic prompting experience with generative tools (ChatGPT, Gemini, Midjourney).

• A background or educational training in Graphic Design, Photography, or Commercial Marketing.

Tips to Stand Out During the Interview:

• Showcase your portfolio: Be prepared to walk through visual examples that demonstrate your eye for detail, composition, and brand consistency. Demonstrated system design is a plus.

• Highlight your AI curiosity: Share concrete examples of how you've experimented with or applied AI tools in your personal, academic, or professional projects.

• Demonstrate interdisciplinary thinking: Highlight your ability to discuss technical concepts comfortably without losing sight of aesthetic quality and user experience.
