Founding Machine Learning Engineer
The Role
We're looking for someone who loves optimizing model inference to join us in building the core of ComfyUI - the most complex and bleeding-edge part of our engine. You'll be working on making AI models run faster and more efficiently than anyone thought possible.
You are a good fit if this describes you:
You geek out about model inference, torch optimizations, and memory management
You've written production PyTorch code that pushes performance boundaries
You love diving deep into how models actually work under the hood
You get excited about making insanely optimized code that just works
You think the current state of ML deployment could be way better
What you'll do:
Build and optimize the core inference engine that powers ComfyUI
Make massive models run faster and use less memory than anyone else
Work directly with our core team on architecting new features
Tackle the hardest technical problems in the visual AI space
Help shape where we take this technology next
If you've worked with diffusion/LLM models before or built custom nodes for ComfyUI, that's awesome
What is ComfyUI?
ComfyUI, in the simplest form, is a node-based engine that enables users to generate visual content using AI. It is the most popular and powerful visual AI framework with more than 60k Github stars, thousands of 3rd party extensions and millions of users.
But this is not where it stops,
ComfyUI is and will continue to be a tool for artists of the future: a human equipped with AI who can be an order of magnitude more productive than before.
ComfyUI will continue evolve to further to democratize AIs for creatives, hobbyists, storytellers, studios, developers, and enterprises.
It empowers those who were not trained with the power of the brush to also be a painter and those who do to be a maestro.
It will become an Operating System for visual Gen AI.
It will unlock a world where no stories is left untold
About Us
We are a small, intense, and well-funded team in San Francisco who push ComfyUI and its ecosystem forward. Our team comes from Stability AI and Google and many contributed to the ComfyUI ecosystem way before working here.
Our organization is flat and there is no hierarchy, only categories: devv, artz, prod, oprt, etc (and no, there is no one here with the title of Member of Technical Staff, it’s long and silly for a job title).
The only thing that matters is the quality of your cultural fit and execution. We work hard and demand a lot of each other. But we have fun: everyone is here to make something meaningful that will end up being our life’s work. If this mission excites you and you view yourself as a top-tier talent, talk to us at hiring@comfy.org. Your future latent self is waiting for you at Comfy.
