AI Tech Artist

Magnopus is looking for an AI Tech Artist to build, optimize and support the generative AI workflows used by artists on a major new project.. As a spatial design and innovation company, we work at the intersection of technology, creativity and emerging experiences. Our teams bring together artists, engineers, designers and producers to create visionary work using both established production techniques and rapidly evolving technologies. In this role, you'll sit between creative production and emerging AI technology, turning new models, tools and techniques into reliable workflows that artists can use to create high-quality imagery and motion content. You'll build and extend node-based generative AI workflows, develop custom Python tools and nodes, integrate and optimize models, and solve the technical challenges involved in bringing rapidly evolving AI technology into a demanding production environment. This is a hands-on technical role with a strong understanding of creative production. You'll need to be comfortable working directly with the underlying technology while making complex workflows reliable, efficient, and accessible for artists. Contract This is an initial fixed-term project hire through the end of September 2026, with an anticipated extension through February 2027, subject to project requirements. Location This role requires working onsite at our Downtown Los Angeles studio five days per week. The project is highly collaborative and fast-moving, with the team working closely together in person throughout production. What You'll Do Design, build, document and maintain complex node-based generative AI workflows for production useDevelop custom Python scripts and nodes to extend graph functionality, integrate external APIs and streamline asset-generation workflowsEvaluate emerging generative AI models, research techniques and integrate relevant developments into production workflowsBuild and optimize image, video and multimodal generation workflows, with a focus on visual quality, temporal consistency and motion fidelityConfigure and optimize models for memory efficiency, inference speed and reliable execution across production environmentsBuild and maintain workflows using conditioning, adapter and fine-tuning techniques to support character, composition and stylistic consistencySet up and maintain workflows for training and deploying adapters and other project-specific model customizationsImplement accelerated inference and multimodal editing approaches that enable artists to iterate quicklyPackage complex technical workflows into clear, reusable graph templates and tools for creative teamsTroubleshoot issues across models, nodes, integrations and production workflowsWork closely with artists and production teams to understand creative challenges and develop practical technical solutionsProvide technical support and guidance to artists using the workflows you build, and document solutions to support effective use across the team What Will Help You Succeed In This Role Advanced experience building, extending and troubleshooting node-based generative AI workflows, such as ComfyUI or equivalent graph-based frameworksStrong Python development skills, including experience developing custom nodes, tools and integrations for generative AI workflowsDeep technical understanding of current generative image and video models, multimodal workflows and the techniques used to control and optimize their outputHands-on experience with conditioning and adapter technologies such as ControlNet, IP-Adapter and LoRA, including training, fine-tuning models, and deploying adapters for production useExperience optimizing AI workflows for memory usage, inference speed, model compatibility and reliable executionStrong understanding of generative AI video workflows, including the technical challenges involved in temporal consistency, motion control and high-quality outputExperience turning emerging models, research or experimental technology into practical production workflowsStrong technical problem-solving skills and the ability to diagnose issues across complex models, nodes and graph setupsExperience supporting creative production workflows and an understanding of how technical tools need to work for artists in practiceThe ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly and collaborate effectively with both creative and technical colleaguesA portfolio, code repository or other examples demonstrating relevant custom node development, graph architectures, model customisation or generative AI workflow development Even better if you also have Experience supporting film, VFX, animation, AAA games or another high-end creative production environmentExperience working with GPU/server environments supporting generative AI production workflows Think you could be a great fit? If you have strong technical experience building and optimizing generative AI workflows, hands-on expertise with node-based tools and Python development, and believe you could make an immediate impact on the project, we'd love to hear from you. About Magnopus Magnopus is an experience-focused technology company founded by a team of Oscar-winning artists, designers and engineers from the worlds of film, games and immersive media. We create experiences that bring together storytelling, creativity and technology in new ways — from immersive attractions and interactive installations to virtual production, spatial computing, AI-powered experiences and emerging technologies. Our work helps some of the world's most recognisable brands and organisations connect with audiences in ways that weren't previously possible. We've built experiences for millions of people around the world and continue to explore what's possible at the intersection of creativity, technology and human connection. Though we've delivered a lot of incredible work, here are just a few examples you can explore yourself: Metallica: Music Experience in UEFN Mission: ISS Alo Moves XR World of Fallout Daft Punk Experience, Fortnite The Wizard of Oz at Sphere We're proud of the work we create, but we're equally proud of how we create it. Magnopus is built around collaboration, curiosity and respect. We believe great ideas can come from anywhere, and we strive to create an environment where talented people can learn, grow and do some of the best work of their careers. You'll join a multidisciplinary team of artists, designers, engineers, producers and technologists who specialise in bringing ambitious ideas to life. Studio work at Magnopus is varied, collaborative and often unlike anything you've worked on before, giving you the opportunity to contribute to projects that push creative and technical boundaries. We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process - for example, to transcribe interviews and generate summaries. These tools are not used to review applications or analyse resumes, and they do not replace human judgement. All hiring decisions are made by people.
