Applied AI Architect - Seedance / Seedream / Seed Audio

Seedance, Seedream and Seed Audio are ByteDance's AI models for video, image and audio. Customers across advertising, gaming and frontier AI applications want to build with them, and most of those customers need more than an API key. They need someone who understands how their business makes content today, can show leaders where AI changes the economics, and can sit with their creators until the new workflow actually runs.

As an Applied AI Architect with ByteDance, you'll get to use our video, image and audio models and work with the teams that build them. You'll also own the full path from industry insight to working adoption: you learn the customer's business, advise its decision-makers on AI transformation, prototype the solution yourself, and train the creators who will use it every day. From first executive conversations to creators using the solution in production, you'll help define what Applied AI means for generative media across these rapidly changing industries.

- Understand the industry and its workflows
- Build deep knowledge of how content is made and paid for in your target industries, from creative production and asset pipelines to budgets, timelines and performance metrics.
- Map where video, image and audio generation creates real value for a customer, and where it does not yet.
- Track how the industry is adopting generative media and turn that into a clear point of view on high-value use cases.
- Advise decision-makers on AI transformation
- Act as a trusted advisor to customer executives, including CMOs, studio heads, heads of creative and CTOs.
- Shape AI transformation roadmaps that cover use-case priorities, workflow and team changes, ROI, and governance for content safety and IP.
- Lead discovery sessions, executive briefings and workshops that turn broad ambition into scoped, fundable projects.
- Partner with Sales and Business Development on strategic accounts, from first conversation through deployment and expansion.
- Prototype agentic solutions on Seedance, Seedream and Seed Audio
- Turn real customer briefs into working prototypes quickly, so customers can judge results on their own content.
- Design end-to-end solutions that combine our models with APIs, agents, automation and the customer's existing tools and pipelines.
- Develop prompting and multi-model workflows that reach professional quality, and be honest about the limits of each model.
- Define how quality is evaluated for each use case, and guide customers from proof of concept to production.
- Enable creators and customer teams
- Design and run hands-on training for creators, artists, marketers and developers at customer organizations.
- Create the materials that let adoption scale without you: playbooks, prompt guides, demo libraries, templates and reference workflows.
- Build internal capability by equipping our sales and solutions teams with demos and vertical stories.
- Represent our models at industry events, creator communities and customer showcases.
- Close the loop with Product and Research
- Bring structured field feedback to product and research teams, with concrete examples of what works and what fails.
- Separate one-off customer requests from repeatable needs, and turn the repeatable ones into product requirements and reusable solutions.
- Test new model capabilities early and work out what they make possible for customers.

Minimum Qualifications
- Minimally 3 years of experience in a customer-facing technical or creative role, such as applied AI, solutions architecture, forward-deployed engineering, creative technology, technical art, or AI consulting.
- A track record of advising stakeholders and moving them from interest to decision. Good at crafting tailored industry stories and solution pitches to convince stakeholders to take actions.
- Hands-on experience with generative AI for video, image or audio, with a real sense of where today's tools excel and where they break.
- Ability to build: comfortable with Python or JavaScript/TypeScript, APIs and scripting, enough to ship a working prototype without waiting for an engineering team.
- Clear communication with both executives and creators, including explaining technical concepts to non-technical audiences.
- Experience teaching others, through workshops, training programs, public content or team enablement.

Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in industries such as advertising, gaming, model labs, robotics, film, VFX, e-Commerce or other related fields.
- Having a portfolio of creative or technical work.
- Experience taking AI solutions from proof of concept to production in an enterprise setting.
- Familiarity with production tooling such as creative suites, ad platforms, game engines, 3D tools or simulation environments.
- Ideally coming with public presence in AI or creator communities.
