About the role

ID.me is looking for an AI Creative Designer to join our Design Team and shape how we create visual content for the communities we serve — from military members and first responders to nurses, teachers, and beyond. This role combines the eye of a photographer, the instinct of a marketer, and the mind of an engineer to produce photorealistic imagery and visual assets that connect with diverse audiences and inspire action.

You'll use the latest generative AI tools to create hero images, email visuals, personalized ads, social content, illustrations, and eventually video. But this role goes beyond producing individual assets. You'll also write code and build the systems that make personalized, on-brand visual content creation scalable — so that the right image reaches the right audience at the right time.

The ideal candidate has a strong creative portfolio, a photography background, and technical proficiency in automation, scripting, and building generation workflows

Responsibilities

• Create photorealistic images and visual assets using generative AI tools (Nano Banana, ChatGPT/DALL-E, Flux, Seedream, Runway, Seedance, and emerging platforms) for landing pages, emails, digital ads, and social media.
• Apply deep knowledge of photography fundamentals — focal length, aperture, depth of field, lighting, lens characteristics — to craft prompts that produce imagery indistinguishable from professional photography.
• Work both independently and alongside Marketing, Design, and Product team members, communicating creative vision clearly and aligning output with business goals.
• Architect systems that enable hyper-personalized visual content, adapting imagery to specific audience segments, demographics, and campaign contexts.
• Stay ahead of the rapidly evolving AI landscape, continuously evaluating and integrating new tools, models, and techniques.
• Develop and maintain prompt libraries, style references, and brand parameters to ensure visual consistency across all AI-generated content.
• Partner with Marketing, Design, and Product teams to translate campaign objectives, audience insights, and brand guidelines into visual concepts that communicate clearly and drive engagement.
• Support future expansion into AI-assisted short video creation.

Basic Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience coding, with ability sufficient to build generation systems, automation pipelines, or API integrations (Python, JavaScript, REST APIs, or equivalent).
• 2+ years of experience with generative AI image creation tools such as Nano Banana, ChatGPT/DALL-E, Flux, Seedream, Runway, Seedance, or other emerging platforms.
• 2+ years of hands-on photography experience with working knowledge of camera settings, lighting, composition, and the technical details that make images feel authentic.
• 2+ years of experience with personalized asset generation systems or dynamic content pipelines such as Contentful or Braze.
• A portfolio that includes: AI-generated photorealistic visual assets, traditional photography shot with a camera, websites or applications you've coded, and marketing campaigns you've created or contributed to.
• Bachelor's degree in Design, Photography, Computer Science, Marketing, or related field — or equivalent practical experience.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience creating visual content for marketing campaigns, including landing pages, emails, and digital advertising.
• Strong understanding of visual storytelling and marketing principles.
• Ability to work independently and cross-functionally.
• Familiarity with the design tool Figma.
• Experience building automated workflows using APIs, webhooks, or pipeline orchestration tools.
• Background in or exposure to communities such as military, healthcare workers, teachers, or first responders.
• Understanding of A/B testing, personalization strategies, and audience segmentation.
• Experience with AI video generation tools (Runway, Seedance, or similar).

About The Role

In this role, you will turn AI and ML into exciting, reliable user-facing product capabilities. You bring a strong technical background with deep machine learning expertise shaped by hands-on experience shipping models into production and iterating based on real-world feedback. You’re motivated by measurable impact and customer delight, and you balance innovation with practicality.

You’re fluent in Python, comfortable working across the data + ML stack, and able to build and ship models quickly in ways that are maintainable, observable, and scalable to large datasets. From lightweight heuristics and classical ML to modern deep learning and generative AI workflows, you can choose the right level of complexity for the problem and execute end-to-end: framing, experimentation, evaluation, deployment, and iteration.

You value the craft of software engineering and bring a thoughtful approach to system design for ML—data quality, pipelines, feature/embedding workflows, model serving, monitoring, and continuous improvement. Because ML has the most leverage when it’s deeply integrated into a cohesive product experience, you’re a strong cross-functional partner: you collaborate closely with product, design, engineering, and data to align on goals, define success metrics, and deliver outcomes.

You stay current on the fast-moving AI landscape with a grounded perspective—curious, discerning, and able to separate durable advances from hype—so the team can move quickly without chasing noise.
