Technical Artist - Language & Prompt Systems

We’re looking for a Technical Artist – Language & Prompt Systems to join our team at Luma. This isn’t a traditional “artist” role. You’ll be deep in the world of LLMs, prompt language, and multimodal AI — exploring how subtle shifts in phrasing shape visual output. You’ll be crafting, testing, and iterating on prompts that power some of the most advanced generative models on the planet.If you love the intersection of language, creativity, and precision, this is your playground.What a Typical Week Might Look LikeTuning and testing dozens of prompt variations to find the most expressive resultsDebugging strange or surprising model outputs and proposing fixesWriting internal guides to help teammates understand and reuse your best promptsCurating output examples for training datasets or product showcasesCollaborating with researchers to design language evaluations or edge-case testsBuilding light tools or scripts (with help) to streamline prompt QA workflowsAnnotating and captioning visual samples with absurd attention to detailSpotting a new prompting trick on Twitter, testing it, and making it betterYour Background Looks Something LikeYou’ve spent serious time with tools like GPT-4, Claude, Midjourney, or LumaYou understand how small language tweaks lead to big output changesYou’re detail-obsessed and systematic — tracking, testing, and documenting your workYou’re comfortable using AI tools to move fast, prototype, and iterateYou have and can confidently write Python scripts, with or without the help of AI codingYou care about quality, clarity, and the craft of communicationYou enjoy doing the same thing five different ways — to see what works bestYou Might Really Thrive Here If…You’ve ever rewritten a sentence 20 times just to make it feel rightYou get joy from labeling, organizing, and curating messy creative outputYou love GenAI and already spend your free time exploring prompts for funYou’re as curious about language quirks as you are about model behaviorYou think of prompt engineering as part science, part poetryYou’re energized by small-scale chaos and rapid iterationSome of the Cool Things We’re Working OnPrompt systems that drive high-fidelity video generation from textLanguage interfaces that shape model behavior, tone, and visual outputLightweight QA pipelines to catch weirdness before it shipsCurated libraries of prompt recipes, edge cases, and style guidesInterfaces for creators to shape model outputs more intuitivelyPrompt workflows that scale across research and product teamsThis role is remote-friendly, but we love collaborating in person when possible. Bay Area preferred. You’ll be joining a small, fast-moving team where your ideas and experiments directly shape the product — and the future of generative AI itself.About LumaAt Luma, we’re building multimodal AI to expand human imagination and capabilities. Our mission is to create systems that can see and understand, show and explain, and eventually interact with the world to effect change. Our flagship product, Dream Machine, generates high-fidelity video from simple text — and we’re just getting started.We’re a product-focused, high-velocity team of researchers, engineers, and creatives building foundation models and beautiful user experiences. If you love building things that feel magical — and you want to shape the future of AI — we’d love to meet you.Originally posted on Himalayas
