Job description

• - 4–6 years of hands-on professional experience working directly with Generative AI engines, pipeline architectures, and image generation tools – at a commercial post facility, VFX studio, advertising agency, or in-house creative studio.
• - Proven creative background in Art Direction, Graphic Design, Brand Design, Retouching, or Compositing – with a portfolio demonstrating the ability to produce real, believable, and brand-right AI-generated imagery without AI artifacts.
• - Deep foundational knowledge of photography, lighting logic, lensing, framing, color grading, and visual storytelling – sufficient to art-direct generative outputs with the same rigor as a live-action shoot.
• - Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite [Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign] – with mastery-level image compositing, multi-layer asset manipulation, and retouching as a strict requirement.
• - Advanced-level experience with node-based generative workflow tools – ComfyUI, Weavy, Figma Weave, or equivalent – including custom node architecture, ControlNet integration, upscaling pipelines, and LoRA/model management.
• - Advanced LLM user proficiency [ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini] for prompt engineering, concept development, brief analysis, and creative ideation.
• - Proficiency in Figma and Figma Weave for layout, collaborative design systems, and AI-assisted asset management workflows.
• - Strong understanding of retail visual strategy, customer psychology, and omni-channel campaign design [digital, e-commerce, in-store, social, OOH].
• - Strong attention to detail in product accuracy, packaging fidelity, and brand consistency across all AI-generated outputs.
• - Minimum 7 years in design or creative roles, with both agency and in-house brand experience strongly preferred.
• - Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design, Art Direction, Visual Communication, or a related field preferred.

NICE TO HAVE SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

• - Practical experience with AI-assisted scripting or “VibeCoding” – using LLMs to write automation scripts, build light prototypes, or extend studio tooling without requiring dedicated engineering support.
• - Experience building design systems, automation pipelines, or reusable generative workflow libraries.
• - Foundational understanding of VFX pipeline and compositing workflows as they relate to integrating AI-generated assets with live-action or CG production.
