AI Image Composition Quality Scorer

Adrian Bergmann

Full-time · Job · Los_Angeles

About the role

AI image generation has a composition problem: models can generate photorealistic images with poor compositional quality — awkward subject placement, unbalanced negative space, subjects cropped at inelegant points, competing focal elements without clear hierarchy. Filtering for composition quality automatically is what separates a generation pipeline that produces 10 usable images from 100 from one that produces 70. Our platform serves 4,500 creative professionals and brands generating visual content at scale. Composition quality scoring is the filtering layer we're building: a model trained on aesthetic composition principles and validated against professional photographer judgment that can evaluate generated images before they're served, filter the poor ones, and inform the generation process about what compositions tend to score well. You'll design and train the composition scoring model: collecting training data from professional photographer preference judgments, implementing multi-dimensional composition scoring (rule of thirds adherence, subject-to-background ratio, focal hierarchy clarity, visual balance), and building the score integration that feeds filtering and generation guidance. The model needs to agree with professional creative judgment at a rate high enough to earn their trust.

Responsibilities

  • Design multi-dimensional composition scoring model covering key aesthetic composition principles
  • Curate training data from professional photographer preference judgments and composition annotations
  • Implement composition dimension scoring: rule of thirds, visual balance, focal hierarchy, subject placement
  • Build score calibration ensuring alignment with professional creative judgment
  • Create composition guidance outputs informing generation parameters for higher-quality results
  • Integrate scoring into the generation pipeline as a filtering and optimization signal

Requirements

  • 3+ years in computer vision or ML engineering with aesthetic quality or image generation experience
  • Strong Python and PyTorch skills with image classification model development
  • Interest in visual aesthetics, photography, or creative AI
  • Experience collecting preference judgment training data and training models on subjective quality labels
  • Ability to validate model quality against professional creative expert assessments

Benefits

  • Fully remote with flexible schedule
  • Health and dental insurance
  • $3,000 annual professional development budget
  • 401(k) with match
  • Equity options
