Director - Creative Technology

The Creative Technologist, Gen-AI TD will be a key technical craft leader within the JioStar AI Media Studio (JAMS), responsible for building and operationalizing GenAI-led production workflows that bridge AI generation, traditional VFX, compositing, color science, DI, and post-production pipelines. This role sits at the intersection of creative technology and production execution. The ideal candidate brings deep hands-on fluency in ComfyUI and multimodal GenAI workflows, along with strong understanding of color pipelines, compositing principles, post-production workflows, and the practical realities of delivering premium video content. You will help define how GenAI outputs move from experimentation into production-grade pipelines that creative, VFX, DI, and post teams can trust, refine, and scale.

Responsibilities

ComfyUI and GenAI Workflow Development

• Design, build, and maintain advanced ComfyUI workflows for image and video

generation, control, refinement, consistency, and production handoff.

• Develop node-based GenAI pipelines that support controllability, repeatability,

versioning, and creative direction across multiple content formats.

• Integrate techniques such as ControlNet, IP adapters, LoRAs, reference conditioning,

motion transfer, upscaling, inpainting, and other emerging GenAI methods into usable production workflows.

• Continuously evaluate new GenAI tools, models, and workflow patterns, and adapt

them for JAMS production needs. Color Science, DI, and Post-Production Pipeline Integration

• Define and maintain color-managed GenAI workflows using ACES, OCIO,

LUT/CDL-based pipelines, and show-specific color transforms.

• Ensure AI-generated outputs preserve color consistency across ComfyUI, compositing,

editorial, grading, real-time, and delivery environments.

• Work with post and DI teams on conform, reference exports, CDL/show LUT handling,

VFX pulls, EXR workflows, SDR/HDR versioning, and final delivery readiness.

• Troubleshoot issues around scene-linear workflows, bit depth, alpha/premultiplication,

matte/depth passes, gamut mapping, grain, denoise, compression artifacts, and shot-to-shot continuity.

• Partner with colorists, editors, compositors, VFX artists, and pipeline teams to establish

reliable review, QC, and handoff practices for AI-generated visual material. Compositing and VFX Bridge

• Apply a strong understanding of compositing principles to make GenAI outputs more

usable, controllable, and production-ready.

• Build workflow bridges between GenAI tools and traditional VFX/compositing pipelines

such as Nuke, After Effects, Fusion, or equivalent tools.

• Help teams combine AI-generated elements with live action, CG, matte painting,

clean-up, roto, matchmove, and finishing workflows.

• Support shot-level problem solving where GenAI outputs need to be layered, corrected,

stabilized, matched, or refined for final use. 3D and Real-Time Workflow Collaboration

• Collaborate with teams using 3D and real-time tools such as Blender, Unreal Engine,

Maya, Houdini, or equivalent platforms.

• Explore workflows that combine 3D scene control, camera movement, lighting

references, depth passes, masks, renders, and GenAI generation.

• Help define how 3D inputs and outputs can improve consistency, directability, and

production value in AI-native content creation.

• Support color-managed real-time review workflows, including OCIO-aware viewport

and render handoffs where applicable. Cross-Functional Production Enablement

• Work closely with Creative Technologists, Narrative and Visual Storytelling Leads,

Producers, Editors, VFX/Post teams, Product, Engineering, and Data Science teams.

• Translate creative production needs into robust technical workflows that can be used by

small teams and PODs.

• Document workflows, best practices, model/tool limitations, and repeatable production

playbooks for the JAMS team.

• Partner with Creative Technologists and Engineering teams on AI generation guardrails,

validation prompts, and review workflows that improve output consistency, safety, and production usability.

• Serve as an independent problem-solver and force multiplier across multiple active

AI-native productions.

Requirements

• 10+ years of professional experience in the media, entertainment, VFX, animation,

post-production, gaming, or adjacent creative technology industries.

• Strong hands-on expertise in ComfyUI, especially for image/video generation

workflows, control, refinement, and production-oriented automation.

• Deep understanding of color science, color pipelines, post-production workflows, and

finishing requirements.

• Strong working knowledge of ACES, OCIO, LUTs, CDLs, IDTs/ODTs, display transforms,

Rec.709, P3, HDR/SDR workflows, and DI/post-production handoff.

• Experience with EXR-based VFX workflows, scene-linear compositing,

alpha/matte/depth passes, color-managed review, and technical QC for finishing.

• Strong practical understanding of compositing principles and VFX production

workflows.

• Ability to bridge GenAI experimentation with traditional production-grade VFX and

post pipelines.

• Familiarity with tools such as Nuke, After Effects, Fusion, DaVinci Resolve, Baselight, or

similar compositing/post-production tools.

• Working knowledge of 3D or real-time tools such as Blender, Unreal Engine, Maya,

Houdini, or equivalent platforms is highly desirable.

• Strong understanding of GenAI visual workflows, including model behavior, prompting,

conditioning, reference control, consistency, artifact management, and output evaluation.

• Excellent collaboration skills with the ability to work across creative, technical, and

production teams.

• High ownership, learning agility, and comfort operating in a fast-evolving AI-native

production environment. Preferred Education and Experience

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in animation, VFX, film production, computer graphics,

design, engineering, or a related field.

• Prior experience in VFX, animation, gaming, virtual production, post-production, DI, or

AI-led content creation.

• Experience building reusable production workflows, templates, toolkits, or technical

playbooks for creative teams.

• Exposure to GenAI video tools, multimodal models, agentic workflows, and AI-assisted

filmmaking pipelines.

• Familiarity with top-tier studio, VFX, animation, virtual production, or post-production

operating models is a significant advantage.
