Job description

7,916 – 10,000 $

Important: if an employer asks you to log into their system via iCloud or Google, send a code, an SMS or Telegram password, run some code, or install software — refuse. These are signs of fraud.

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
