Job description

The role

A director-level creative technology role in the Technology department at Code and Theory, a digital-first creative agency, based in New York or remote. The job centres on automating 2D and 3D content production: mapping how content is made today, building pipelines that connect creative software, AI tools and asset management systems, and advising senior people on content technology.

What you'll do

• Work with agency and client teams to map current content production workflows and find where technology and data flow could be improved
• Build workflows that automate 2D and/or 3D content production
• Develop automated motion graphics pipelines for short campaign video loops that reframe footage intelligently across 9:16, 1:1 and 16:9 and swap in localised assets for global markets
• Build custom automation links using Model Context Protocol (MCP), ComfyUI node graphs and AI-assisted coding tools such as Cursor and Claude Code, connecting 3D software to Adobe Firefly Services and older digital asset management (DAM) systems
• Assess and recommend AI tools and other APIs for automating content production
• Work directly with Art Directors and 3D Designers so automated pipelines keep precise specular control and strict brand visual fidelity

About you

• Hands-on experience with Blender, Substance 3D or Cinema 4D, including procedural shader graphs, lighting set-ups and render engines such as Cycles, Octane or Redshift
