“What would you say you do here?”

• Collaborate and advise on next-generation AI-assisted agentic workflows strategy alongside product owners, developers and creatives.
• Design and own the architecture for AI-powered frameworks and automation across the entire Studio pipeline and platforms.
• Define the end-to-end architecture for ingestion, processing, and routing of operational telemetry (metrics, logs, traces).
• Integrate solutions with popular industry DCC tools.
• Prototype solutions for high-friction tasks: asset tagging, scene prep, render queue management, shot setup, and versioning.
• Define technical standards and integration patterns for AI tooling across departments and shows.
• Evaluate and select AI frameworks, foundation models, and automation technologies for creative production and operational stability.
• Build and maintain a library of reusable AI components and automation patterns.
• Partner with platform, systems and security teams to monitor model drift, system latency, and system security.
• Write, test, and deploy production-ready tools that run reliably inside active show pipelines.
• Develop reference implementations that set the canonical pattern for future pipeline AI work.
• Partner with engineers and TDs to fold automation into existing artist-facing toolsets.
• Maintain and iterate on deployed tools based on artist feedback and production data.
• Drive adoption across both technical and creative departments so tools are understood, trusted, and used.
• Create lightweight training and documentation for artists and engineers.
• Establish metrics for automation impact and report results to studio leadership on a regular cadence.
• Champion a culture of continuous improvement and surface new automation opportunities as workflows evolve.
