Director - Creative Technology

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.
