Founding AI Video & Drama Engineer

Selby Jennings; Singapore; On-site; SGD 150,000 - 210,000; Full time

Job summary

Selby Jennings is seeking a Founding AI Agent Engineer to lead the design and implementation of production-grade multi-agent systems for AI video and short drama generation. You will build orchestration frameworks, workflow engines, and a unified multimodal model routing layer to optimize content production from script planning to final delivery.

The role requires hands-on experience with production AI agents, LLM applications, or autonomous workflows, and a strong background in distributed

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or above in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop production-grade Multi-Agent systems that power end-to-end AI video and short drama generation workflows, from ideation and script planning to storyboarding, video generation, voice synthesis, and final content delivery.
• Build scalable Agent Orchestration Frameworks capable of task decomposition, agent collaboration, memory management, context management, and autonomous execution.
• Develop workflow engines supporting DAG scheduling, asynchronous execution, long-running tasks, state persistence, checkpoint recovery, retry mechanisms, and resource allocation.
• Build a unified Model Routing Layer integrating leading multimodal models across text, image, video, and audio generation.
• Dynamically optimize model selection based on content type, shot requirements, quality, latency, and cost considerations.
• Develop Tool Calling, Function Calling, Memory Management, and Agent Runtime capabilities to improve agent autonomy and task completion quality.
• Design systems that support the complete AI short-drama production pipeline, including script decomposition, scene planning, storyboard generation, character and asset management, video generation, dubbing, sound effects, music generation, and editing workflows.
• Build mechanisms to ensure character, scene, and narrative consistency across shots, episodes, and long-form productions.
• Collaborate with product, content, and AI teams to transform creative intent, storytelling structures, and cinematic language into scalable AI workflows.
• Establish automated evaluation and quality-control frameworks covering generation quality, character consistency, scene continuity, subtitle alignment, and video production standards.
• Build monitoring, observability, and cost-optimization systems to improve platform reliability and operational efficiency.
• Define and track key metrics such as generation success rate, production quality, latency, cost per minute, and workflow efficiency.
