Senior Technical Artist - AI & Creative Automation

We're looking for a Senior Technical Artist - AI & Creative Automation to help shape how AI is used across our creative production teams.This role sits at the intersection of art, engineering, AI, and production. It is for someone who can recognize what great creative work looks like and build reliable systems that help teams create, evaluate, refine, and deliver that work at scale.You'll design and ship AI-powered tools, agents, automation, and production workflows used across our mobile games. You'll work closely with artists, designers, animators, developers, and other technical partners to identify high-impact problems, prototype solutions quickly, and turn the best ideas into dependable production systems.We're looking for someone with exceptional artistic judgment, strong technical depth, and a practical understanding of modern AI. You understand how artists think and make creative decisions, and you can translate that understanding into tools and systems that preserve creative intent while increasing speed, quality, consistency, and team capability.You should be curious about emerging technologies, but practical about what belongs in production. You know how to evaluate whether AI is actually the right solution, when conventional automation is better, and where human creative judgment must remain part of the process.You'll own your work from the first experiment through deployment, adoption, measurement, and ongoing improvement.What You'll DoDesign, build, deploy, and maintain AI agents, creative tools, scripts, applications, and automated workflows that accelerate creative and technical production.Work closely with artists, designers, animators, developers, and production teams to identify bottlenecks and rethink how work gets done.Build end-to-end pipelines for generating, editing, evaluating, processing, integrating, and delivering creative assets across game art, marketing, animation, video, audio, and related disciplines.Integrate commercial AI APIs, open-source models, creative applications, game-development tools, and internal systems into reliable production workflows.Apply strong artistic judgment to ensure outputs meet high standards for composition, color, lighting, style, character identity, consistency, and storytelling.Develop usable internal applications and interfaces that allow non-technical team members to use sophisticated AI and automation tools effectively.Evaluate new models and tools against real production needs, balancing quality, controllability, speed, cost, licensing, scalability, and reliability.Build and maintain production systems with appropriate authentication, access control, logging, monitoring, error handling, and operational visibility.Apply responsible AI production practices, including appropriate handling of proprietary data, model and asset licensing, access permissions, and human review.Document systems, share knowledge, mentor team members, and help successful tools become part of everyday production.Measure impact through time saved, faster delivery, improved quality and consistency, reduced repetitive work, cost efficiency, and team adoption.RequirementsArtistic Skills & Creative ProductionProfessional experience in art, graphic design, animation, motion graphics, VFX, technical art, game art, or a closely related visual disciplineStrong foundations in composition, color, lighting, perspective, visual hierarchy, and storytellingPractical experience with creative tools such as Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Blender, Maya, or equivalent applicationsAbility to translate art direction into repeatable systems while preserving character identity, visual style, and brand guidelinesStrong understanding of

JavaScript, including Node.js, for automation, tooling, AI integration, and production workflowsExperience building tools, services, integrations, or applications using modern development technologiesStrong API, MCP, and CLI integration skills, including asynchronous jobs, batch processing, structured outputs, retries, and failure handlingWorking knowledge of deploying and maintaining applications, including hosting, authentication, logging, monitoring, and troubleshootingComfortable with Git, GitHub, open-source repositories, dependency management, and shared production codebasesAbility to understand, review, debug, and maintain the code you ship, including code developed with AI assistanceAI Models, Agents & AutomationProven experience building AI-powered tools, agents, automations, or workflows used in real productionExperience with agentic systems that use tools and APIs, manage multi-step tasks, validate results, and recover from failuresStrong experience with generative image, video, and audio AI models, such as GPT Image 2.5, Seedance 2.5, Kling 3, Nano Banana Pro, and ElevenLabsAbility to evaluate and switch between commercial APIs, hosted services, and open-source models based on production needsStrong prompt engineering skills, including system instructions, context management, prompt routing, and output validation, with the ability to get reliable, structured outputs from LLMsFamiliarity with open-source AI ecosystems and node-based generative workflows such as ComfyUI or equivalent systemsProficiency with AI-assisted development tools such as OpenAI Codex, Claude Code, or equivalent systems, while maintaining ownership of code quality and technical decisionsExperience & OwnershipTypically 5+ years of relevant experience across technical art, creative technology, production tooling, software development for creative teams, or adjacent disciplinesSubstantial recent experience applying AI and automation to creative or production workflowsA track record of taking ambiguous problems from exploration through prototype, deployment, adoption, and supportEvidence that you have built systems used by teams, not only personal tools or experimentsAbility to balance experimentation with production reliability and know when a workflow is ready to scaleStrong communication skills across creative, technical, production, and non-technical teamsExceptional candidates with less traditional tenure but strong evidence of production-scale impact, technical depth, artistic judgment, and ownership are encouraged to apply.MindsetYou are self-directed, curious, proactive, and constantly looking for meaningful ways to improve productionYou maintain a high bar for both creative quality and technical qualityYou are practical about automation and understand when AI adds real value—and when it does notYou care about adoption as much as invention. A technically impressive tool that nobody uses is not a successful production systemNice to HaveYou do not need to have every item below.Experience creating plugins, extensions, or automation for tools such as Photoshop, After Effects, Blender, Maya, Unity, or similar applicationsExperience with Unity scripting or game-engine pipeline developmentExperience fine-tuning, adapting, or customizing generative modelsExperience running GPU-based AI workloads or local/self-hosted modelsExperience with cloud infrastructure, containers, model serving, queues, or scalable inference systemsExperience working in mobile games, live-service games, or high-volume creative production environmentsBenefitsWhy This Role Is DifferentYou'll build production tools used by a team of 30+ creatives across six live gamesYou'll have the ownership to rethink workflows from the ground up and see successful ideas become part of everyday productionYou'll work directly across art, engineering, AI, and productionYou'll solve real production challenges with direct feedback from the people using what you buildYou'll help shape how we use AI as a creative organization—from the technologies we adopt to the standards and responsible practices behind themYour success will be measured by production impact, not simply by the number of prototypes you createWhat Success Looks LikeWithin your first year, we expect you to have:Shipped AI-powered or automated workflows that are actively used in productionReduced meaningful production bottlenecks or repetitive creative workDemonstrated measurable improvements in speed, quality, consistency, cost, or team capabilityEstablished reusable systems or approaches that can scale across multiple teams, games, or creative disciplinesShow Us What You've BuiltWe want to see both your creative judgment and technical thinking.Alongside your CV, please share a portfolio and two or three relevant projects. These might include production tools, AI agents, automated workflows, creative applications, model pipelines, custom integrations, or other systems you have built.For each project, please tell us:What problem were you solving?What did you personally design or build?What did the final output or workflow look like?How did it improve the work or production process?We're especially interested in projects that moved beyond experimentation and were used by real people in production.Demos, workflow breakdowns, before-and-after examples, architecture diagrams, code samples, evaluation approaches, and examples of real production use are all welcome.
