AI Compositor, Senior Level

A specialist compositor who bridges traditional VFX expertise and AI-driven production workflows. This person executes compositing work on entertainment projects (film, television, streaming) while simultaneously researching and developing AI techniques that can replace or augment traditional VFX processes.

Execute compositing tasks including roto, 2d and 3d tracking, shot integration, and 2.5D reprojection using both AI-assisted and traditional techniques Research and develop AI production techniques and workflows to integrate AI tools into entertainment VFX pipelines Work within ComfyUI and related AI generation environments as additional workflow tool Support delivery requirements including color space management, bit depth standards, and associated compression formats Provide secondary support to the R&D team (Future Lab) on client VFX requirements and technical standards Document experiments, workflows, and R&D findings in Miro for publication and team education Participate in project kickoff meetings with clients to provide technical input on delivery and workflow integration Contribute to pipeline improvement by proactively identifying inefficiencies and suggesting process enhancements Review renders and AI generation outputs for quality and technical accuracy against delivery standards Test and evaluate new AI workflows in ComfyUI integrated with traditional tools; iterate on approaches that show promise for pipeline improvement Collaborate with production artists on integrating AI-generated elements into final composite shots Quality check deliverables against Rec. 2020, HDR, and client-specific delivery specifications before handoff Participate in dailies or shot reviews with the VFX supervisor; provide technical input on shot feasibility Provide technical guidance to mid-level compositor on complex shots and delivery requirements

Professional compositing experience in film, television, or streaming production environments, Hands-on proficiency with roto, 2D 3D tracking, corner pinning, shot integration, and reprojection techniques, Working knowledge of broadcast delivery standards: Rec. 2020, HDR, color space, bit depth, and compression formats, Comfort working in an R&D-heavy environment where approximately 85% of the work is figuring out workflows and 15% is production execution, Willingness to work with AI as a replacement for traditional VFX processes not just a supplement, Proactive experimental mindset: the ability to say 'can we try this to make it better?' without being asked, Existing experience with ComfyUI and subscription based AI similar node-based AI workflow environments,

Familiarity with AI tools (Flux, Nano Banana, VO suite, Kling, Seedance), Python scripting ability (flagged as a critical team-wide gap), Experience documenting R&D processes, Background in 2D animation compositing workflows, experience with Gaussian Splats

The ideal candidate is a specialist with deep compositing and VFX delivery expertise who uses that depth to improve the pipeline rather than just complete tasks. They are comfortable with ambiguity and iterative problem-solving, approaching the work like picking a lock — trying an approach, learning from it, refining, and arriving at something repeatable and reliable. Candidates who are uncomfortable with AI replacing (not just supplementing) traditional VFX processes are not the right fit.

Formal degree in VFX, film, or computer science, Prior AI tool experience specifically (VFX fundamentals are what matter; training will be provided), Team leadership or management experience, A traditional reel or portfolio (relevant work samples are sufficient)

This role requires a willingness to work with AI as a replacement for traditional VFX processes, not just a supplement. ComfyUI and related AI generation environments are the primary workflow tools, and the role is explicitly oriented toward researching and developing AI techniques that displace conventional methods.

Remote position. Initial engagement is a 3-month trial contract. US and EU time zone preferred.
