• Build consistent preset families for categories.
• Explore and prototype new visual directions using industry-leading AI models.
• Write production-ready prompts optimized for consistency, realism, and quality outputs and develop prompt frameworks for scaling.
• Identify emerging visual trends to develop fast-moving, viral, or seasonal effects.
• Own visual QA for all preset outputs across image and video.
• Define & document quality standards for lighting, composition, color grading, subject clarity, and stylization.
• Ensure outputs meet SEO-intent across landing pages.
• Provide preset previews (before/after) and visual assets for tool landing pages, effect pages, SEO surfaces, and the GenAI home catalog.
• Collaborate with SEO & Product teams to align presets with traffic-driving themes and trends.
• Work on the CMS to organize presets, maintain metadata, and support configurations for launching presets.

What You'll Bring

• Strong portfolio of AI-generated visual work across image or video and different media.
• Expertise with multiple generative models (Midjourney, Runway, Veo, Luma, Gemini, Flash, Flux etc.).
• Understanding of lighting, composition, framing, character design, and stylization.
• Experience writing detailed, structured prompts and preservation constraints.
• Ability to iterate quickly and maintain high output quality.

Nice To Have

• Background in visual effects, illustration, concept art, motion design, or photography.
