This is a hands on technical role, not a project manager or business analyst position.
The ideal candidate can:
Work deeply with generative AI video models
Use tools like Comfy UI (Required)
Write code
Perform model fine tuning LoRA training
The role does not require building video models from scratch, but rather expert use and adaptation of existing state of the art models.
Strong communication is critical.
The person must be capable of:
Explaining complex technical work to non technical stakeholders
Presenting to senior executives
Responsibilities
Prototyping and Innovation: Develop rapid prototypes and demos using in-market AI models and tools to inform business decisioning, project scoping, and accelerate adoption of new technology.
Testing and Evaluation: develop tooling and methodologies to evaluate emerging AI models, APIs, and tools for production or operational needs. The primary focus will be around AI tools for visual storytelling.
Cross-functional Collaboration: work with internal stakeholders to ensure that development is meeting the needs of the business and iterate the technology and approach based on stakeholder feedback.
Documentation and Communication: document and communicate key learnings, approaches, and instructions for other teams to leverage the results of your prototypes and experiments.
Subject Matter Expertise: stay up to date on state of the art AI techniques and production technology to evaluate emerging technologies and drive innovation.
Optimization and Adaptation: optimize and adapt AI systems for quality, efficiency, and controllability to meet the needs of stakeholders.
Vendor and Partner Direction: provide requirements and direction to teams of vendors or external partner resources to complete engineering tasks in support of the work that you are driving.
Basic Qualifications
3+ years of experience in software engineering or AI/ML engineering, or production technology.
A proven track record of adaptability in working across different technology tools
Previous experience working in technology for creative, media, or film production
Technical proficiency in working with generative AI models for imagery and video.
Ability to problem solve, debug, refine, and evaluate prototype quality with minimal technical supervision
Strong collaboration skills: must be able to work in a collaborative team environment with creative and technical stakeholders
Ability to balance the technical needs and capabilities with the human and creative centric approach to filmmaking
Comfortable working in a creative environment with iterative feedback, evolving ideas, and often times ambiguous inputs
