We’re looking for a Retoucher/Post-Production Artist to help bring real and AI-generated product imagery to a polished, production-ready standard.

You’ll work closely with our design and product teams to refine images, correct visual inconsistencies, and ensure product renders and creative assets meet a high bar for quality. This is a hands-on production role for someone with a strong eye for detail and experience in retouching, compositing, image manipulation, and post-production.

The ideal candidate is comfortable working quickly through a high volume of assets while maintaining consistency, accuracy, and visual quality.

What You'll Do:

• Retouch and refine product imagery and AI-generated visuals for quality, accuracy, and consistency
• Perform image cleanup, compositing, color correction, masking, background removal, and other post-production work
• Identify and correct visual inconsistencies, artifacts, distortions, and other imperfections in generated imagery
• Prepare images for use across product experiences, marketing, and customer-facing applications
• Match visual styles, colors, textures, and lighting across image sets
• Make detailed edits based on creative direction and product requirements
• Maintain consistency across large volumes of images and variations
• Work closely with designers and product teams to understand requirements and iterate quickly
• Help establish and maintain visual quality standards for product imagery
• Flag recurring image-generation or production issues and provide feedback to the broader team

What We're Looking For:

• 2+ years of professional experience in retouching, compositing, post-production, or production art
• Strong proficiency in Adobe Photoshop and related image-editing tools
• Excellent eye for detail, composition, color, lighting, and visual consistency
• Experience working with product photography, e-commerce imagery, or other commercial visual assets
• Ability to make precise, production-ready edits while working efficiently
• Strong understanding of masking, layers, color correction, compositing, and image cleanup
• Ability to follow creative direction while exercising strong visual judgment
• Comfortable working independently in a fast-moving startup environment
• Strong communication skills and ability to incorporate feedback quickly

Nice to Have:

• Experience working with AI-generated imagery
• Experience with product visualization, e-commerce, or personalized products
• Experience working with high-volume image production or automated creative workflows
• Familiarity with tools such as Illustrator, Lightroom, or other Adobe Creative Cloud applications
• Experience identifying and correcting common generative AI image artifacts

What Success Looks Like:

• Product imagery consistently meets a high visual-quality bar
• Retouched assets are accurate, polished, and production-ready
• You can move quickly through a high volume of work without sacrificing quality
• You develop a strong understanding of Arcade’s visual standards and apply them consistently
• You help the team identify recurring quality issues and improve the overall post-production process
