Descripción del empleo

One of my clients is seeking a forward-thinking AI/ML Developer with a strong product vision to join their growing team. In this role, you’ll design, build, and scale the tools and systems that power their productions and AI-driven creative products.

You’ll work at the intersection of VFX, animation, and machine learning, collaborating with artists, supervisors, and product stakeholders to transform creative challenges into scalable technical solutions.

This is a unique opportunity to influence both production workflows and product development, helping shape innovative tools for the future of storytelling.

What You’ll Do

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable AI/ML-powered tools for VFX and animation pipelines.
• Collaborate with artists, production teams, and product leadership to identify needs and translate them into product features and technical solutions.
• Prototype and productionize ML models for tasks such as image/video processing, content generation, and workflow automation.
• Ensure reliability, scalability, and usability of internal tools and external-facing products.
• Build intuitive user interfaces and integrate AI-driven systems into artist-friendly workflows.
• Contribute to product strategy and long-term vision, balancing innovation with practical production needs.
• Implement testing frameworks and drive continuous improvement of tools and processes.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong Python development experience, especially with ML frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow).
• Experience building tools or products in a product-oriented environment.
• Proven ability to integrate AI/ML models into production-ready tools (computer vision, generative AI, automation).
• Solid understanding of software design, APIs, and scalable architectures.
• Familiarity with VFX/animation workflows (Nuke, Houdini, Blender, or similar) is a plus.
• Experience with front-end/back-end technologies (JavaScript, React.js, Node.js) for productization.
• Strong debugging, testing, and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate with technical and creative stakeholders.

Nice to Have

• Experience shipping AI-driven tools or products used by external customers.
• Familiarity with GPU optimization and distributed training.
• Knowledge of build/distribution ecosystems (e.g., Rez) and production tracking tools (e.g., ShotGrid).
• Interest in generative AI, creative coding, and storytelling innovation.

What They Offer

• A chance to join a startup studio and shape the future of AI-driven tools and products.
• Collaborate with world-class professionals from top VFX studios and AI/tech backgrounds.
• Flexibility in how and where you work — including the opportunity to live and work from the Canary Islands.
• A highly creative environment where your ideas directly influence product and technology strategy.
• Growth opportunities as the company scales, with input on product roadmap and innovation.
• A lifestyle-friendly setup combining cutting-edge projects with an exceptional living environment.
