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 Like
Tuning and testing dozens of prompt variations to find the most expressive results
Debugging strange or surprising model outputs and proposing fixes
Writing internal guides to help teammates understand and reuse your best prompts
Curating output examples for training datasets or product showcases
Collaborating with researchers to design language evaluations or edge-case tests
Building light tools or scripts (with help) to streamline prompt QA workflows
Annotating and captioning visual samples with absurd attention to detail
Spotting a new prompting trick on Twitter, testing it, and making it better
Your Background Looks Something Like
You’ve spent serious time with tools like GPT-4, Claude, Midjourney, or Luma
You understand how small language tweaks lead to big output changes
You’re detail-obsessed and systematic — tracking, testing, and documenting your work
You’re comfortable using AI tools to move fast, prototype, and iterate
You have and can confidently write Python scripts, with or without the help of AI coding
You care about quality, clarity, and the craft of communication
You enjoy doing the same thing five different ways — to see what works best
You Might Really Thrive Here If…
You’ve ever rewritten a sentence 20 times just to make it feel right
You get joy from labeling, organizing, and curating messy creative output
You love GenAI and already spend your free time exploring prompts for fun
You’re as curious about language quirks as you are about model behavior
You think of prompt engineering as part science, part poetry
You’re energized by small-scale chaos and rapid iteration
Some of the Cool Things We’re Working On
Prompt systems that drive high-fidelity video generation from text
Language interfaces that shape model behavior, tone, and visual output
Lightweight QA pipelines to catch weirdness before it ships
Curated libraries of prompt recipes, edge cases, and style guides
Interfaces for creators to shape model outputs more intuitively
Prompt workflows that scale across research and product teams
This 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 Luma
At 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.
