Job description

Collier.Simon is an independent, full-service creative agency in the Los Angeles/Hollywood area. We work with our client partners to develop creative solutions that truly move the needle. Clients range from Fortune 500-type household names to up-and-comers across a variety of industries / verticals. We’re in the midst of a tech-powered transformation, using AI to supercharge creativity, not replace it, and we’re looking for curious minds excited to explore AI as a tool to scale, spark, and speed up creativity.

Our innovation studio is where bold ideas meet real-world impact. We prototype, build, and scale intelligent systems that automate repetitive work and create new efficiencies—combining cutting-edge tech with creative thinking to help teams work smarter, faster, and aim higher.

We’re looking for a Creative Technologist who lives at the intersection of AI, automation, and creative problem-solving. This isn’t a “I use ChatGPT sometimes” role—we need someone who understands how large language models actually work, can architect end-to-end workflows, and knows when AI meaningfully saves time versus when it’s just a shiny distraction. You’ll work directly with the Head of Creative Systems to translate complex creative needs into repeatable, scalable systems.

You Might Be a Fit If You…

• You can explain the difference between prompt engineering, context engineering, and fine-tuning—and you know when each matters
• You’ve built real workflows that connect AI tools to production pipelines, not just played with individual tools in isolation
• You think in systems: inputs, outputs, handoffs, edge cases, documentation
• You can translate a creative team’s pain points into automated solutions without overengineering
• You’re constantly testing new AI models, tools, and platforms—not because it’s trendy, but because you want to understand what’s actually useful
• You’re a clear communicator who can explain technical concepts to non-technical teams and vice versa
• You’d rather build something that works and hand it off cleanly than hoard knowledge

What You’ll Do

• Design, build, and maintain AI-powered workflows that support creative teams across the agency
• Advise on where AI meaningfully saves time or elevates craft—and push back when it doesn’t
• Translate creative briefs and production needs into repeatable, documented systems
• Prototype new tools and processes, test them in real workflows, and hand stable solutions off to production teams
• Scout and evaluate AI vendors, models, and platforms—separating signal from hype
• Run creative QA on AI-generated outputs to ensure quality and brand consistency
• Maintain clear documentation for every tool, workflow, and system you build
• Act as a buffer between leadership vision and day-to-day execution, keeping work moving and teams unblocked

Requirements

• 3–5 years of hands‑on experience with AI/ML tools, workflow automation, or creative technology
• Deep understanding of LLMs, generative AI models, and their practical applications in creative work
• Proven experience with prompt engineering, context window management, and output optimization
• Experience building automated workflows (Zapier, Make, custom scripts, API integrations—whatever gets the job done)
• Strong documentation habits—you leave things better than you found them
• Comfort working across disciplines: creative, production, strategy, and engineering
• Self-directed with strong judgment—you know when to push forward and when to ask questions
• Must be available to work standard PST hours
• Have agency or creative production experience—you understand the pace and the players
• Have experience with version control, API development, or building internal tools
• Understand the Figma/Adobe ecosystem and how AI tools integrate with design workflows
• Have built or managed GPTs, custom AI agents, or similar AI-powered products

What We Offer

• A collaborative, forward-thinking creative culture where craft, experimentation, and systems thinking are all valued
• Fully remote work environment with PST-based hours
• Full-time salary and benefits including healthcare, 401(k), generous PTO, and professional development support

Benefits including healthcare, 401K, vacation/PTO policy to be shared in greater detail during the interview process.

Collier.Simon provides equal employment opportunity to all individuals regardless of their race, color, creed, religion, gender, age, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by state, federal, or local law.
