Why you should join us
At Black Forest Labs, we’re building the future of image generation on a foundational technology known as diffusion. Our founders are world-renowned for pioneering research in this space, including the development of Stable Diffusion, a real Chat-GPT moment for the diffusion community.
We’re proud that our FLUX models are considered best-in-class, not only for their capability, but ease of use in developing downstream applications for industry.
We’re at the frontier of the GenAI race, competing with household names and in most-instances we’re winning.
With a team of 35, the pound-for-pound capabilities of our team stand us light years ahead of our competition and we have a lot of fun doing it. Our HQ is in Freiburg, Germany, paying homage to BFL’s humble beginnings, but we have global reach.
Open Positions
We have offices in San Francisco and Freiburg, Germany as well as a presence in London. With team members working remotely from all over the world. We prefer to be in-office, because that’s how we fee we do our best work, but also because we enjoy being together.
