The Opportunity
Every global brand is now a content factory. They need thousands of on-brand asset variations every quarter — static, video, and increasingly 3D — and they need to ship them in days, not weeks. The customer who figures this out first wins the next decade of marketing.
We are the team that gets them there. We embed with enterprise customers, learn their content supply chain end-to-end, and craft custom AI-powered creative workflows on top of Adobe Firefly Services and Firefly Creative Production (our node-based workflow builder). We are not pre-sales engineers. We are not consultants. We are technical creators who ship.
You will own the video side of those engagements — the cutdowns, the semantic-lock reframes, the MOGRT-driven dynamic graphics, the dubbing and lip-sync, the multi-channel video production at scale. Then you'll bring what you learned back so the next FDCT moves faster.
This role is for someone who is maniacally focused on customer value. If the customer cannot point to time saved, dollars earned, or campaigns shipped because of your work, nothing else matters.
What you'll do
Embed with enterprise customers. Learn their brand, their creative team, their content supply chain, and the metrics their CMO cares about. Become a trusted advisor in 90 days.
Translate a customer brief into a working video workflow. Compose Firefly Services video APIs (cutdown, semantic-lock reframe, Dynamic Graphics Rendering, dubbing, lip sync, T2V) alongside Photoshop / InDesign / Illustrator / Express / Substance 3D / Audio APIs and Workflow Builder nodes. Author AE / MOGRT / DGR templates when the customer's needs go beyond the API surface — read the .aep / .mogrt files, fix what's broken, build new when needed.
Build thin front-ends (or conversational experiences) and light back-ends (App Builder, Azure Functions, AWS Lambda). Ship a working URL the customer uses this quarter, not a PowerPoint.
Build custom workflow nodes when existing ones fall short. Push reusable ones upstream.
Integrate with the customer's video stack — Frame.io, MAM, Premiere Pro panels (CEP/UXP), Workfront, their delivery pipeline. Negotiate auth, debug API quirks, own the edge cases.
Train the customer's video team. Document. Hand off cleanly so the customer self-serves when you rotate to the next engagement.
Demo your work yourself — script, produce, edit. Show real creative outcomes, not abstract slides.
Feed the org. Reusable patterns become shared repo templates, workflow templates, or upstream WFB nodes. Every engagement makes the next one faster.
What you'll bring
5–10 years straddling video production AND technical building. You have shipped both: real video work (motion, post-production, editing, color, motion graphics, VFX, broadcast) AND real technical work (apps, integrations, plugins, automation).
Deep video production-pipeline fluency. After Effects + Premiere Pro + MOGRT authoring — you've built templates, written AE scripts, worked DGR pipelines, can crack open a customer's .aep and find the problem. You know how footage becomes cuts, how aspect ratios get reframed, how brand kits drive lower thirds, how QC and delivery work. You speak the language of editors and colorists.
Creative content supply chain fluency. You understand how briefs become assets, how brand systems and design tokens work, how master files become channel variants, how creative teams hand off through Premiere / AE / Frame.io to MAM and review-and-approval.
Firefly Services + Workflow Builder fluency — or evidence you ramp on a new API surface in days, not months. Adobe ecosystem depth (Frame.io, AEM, Workfront, App Builder) and ExtendScript / UXP / CEP panel-development experience is a strong plus.
Vibe-coding with judgment. You use Cursor / Claude Code / Copilot daily and ship fast. You also know when AI output is wrong, when error handling is missing, when the prompt needs more context. Production code, not prototype-only.
Extreme ownership and a GSD attitude. When the integration breaks before a CMO demo, you fix it — you don't escalate. You own outcomes end-to-end, from broken auth to a missed brand-compliance check. You ship ugly first and refuse to let process slow you down.
Extreme customer orientation. You hold the room with CMOs, creative directors, post-production leads, and heads of IT. You hear a customer pain and respond with a credible, impact-focused, creative solution — not a science experiment. You translate tech to ROI without losing the engineers in the room.
A great nose for the money. You instinctively connect what you build to business outcomes the customer's exec sponsor cares about — time-to-activation, cost per variant, cut velocity, campaign cadence.
A passion for coding and tinkering. A deep interest in generative AI and video workflows. You explore adjacent tools — Runway, Topaz, Captions.ai, n8n / Zapier / Power Automate, LangGraph / LangChain — because that's how you stay sharp.
A public portfolio — link or PDF at application. Must show shipped video creative work AND shipped technical artifacts.
High EQ, low ego. Willingness to travel 10–20%.
What we're not looking for
Backend-only engineers — no video / post-production practitioner background.
Pure motion designers — can't stand up a working integration or write a script.
Consumer video app builders only — no production-pipeline depth (broadcast, agency, in-house brand).
ML / AI researchers — chasing Sora-grade R&D, not customer outcomes.
PMs / consultants who don't ship — every person on this team writes code AND produces creative work themselves.
