Role Summary
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.
Key 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.
