ML Engineer

Exactly.ai is an early-stage startup that has recently completed its Seed round of investments. We are building a marketplace for professional visual creators to train and publish their personal Gen AI models. Brands can rent these models to generate images for their marketing and product needs. Since its launch in November 2022, Exactly has organically gained 15K registered users, including award-winning and internationally recognized artists. We prioritize ethically sourced AI, which means that all uploaded images, created models, and generated images belong to the artists, not us.

Exactly is a part of NVIDIA Inception Accelerator and has been recognized as one of the top 15 European and Israeli startups in 2023 by Google for Startups. We have also graduated from the Google AI First Accelerator. Our AI Research team has developed a technology that excels in understanding an artist's style and creating high-quality images in that style.

With these accomplishments in our first year, we have exciting plans for 2024. Therefore, we are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Machine Learning Engineer to join our AI startup.
