About the role

  • We need a data driven, creative and technical leader to turn rapidly evolving generative technology into practical techniques that help filmmakers make more ambitious work.
  • The goal is not to replace directors, artists, or production teams; it is to give them new creative options, remove technical friction, and apply AI intentionally where it strengthens the story and the filmmaking process.
  • Read and break down scripts with filmmakers to identify scenes, sequences, and production challenges where AI can expand creative options, accelerate iteration, or solve practical constraints, always in service of the filmmaker's intent

Responsibilities

  • Work with the Wonder community to discover emerging techniques, identify workflows with real production potential, and develop the strongest experiments into repeatable studio capabilities
  • Build and maintain a shared library of AI filmmaking techniques, reference workflows, model evaluations, and production playbooks that equips creative technologists and AI production teams across Wonder and its community
  • Own a function at a company at a real inflection point, helping define how Wonder turns emerging AI capabilities into production systems, with direct access to leadership and real ownership from day one
  • We partner with global brands, artists, and studios to create award winning campaigns, films, and experiences that merge cinematic craft with cutting-edge AI technology.

Company info

  • Partner with Wonder's GTM team and leading generative model providers, including Google, Kling, ByteDance, Magnific, and others, to test early access to upcoming models through APIs, assess creative and production readiness, and identify where new capabilities can create value for filmmakers and partners
  • Turn proven techniques into dependable production workflows by leading prototypes and deployments, integrating established creative tools and infrastructure, defining quality, cost, and reliability benchmarks, and translating recurring needs into product and engineering priorities
  • Significant experience in VFX, post-production, animation, creative technology, or production engineering; a blend between an engineering first-principles mindset and a passion for film and creativity
  • Hands-on knowledge of generative and traditional VFX image and video systems, APIs, node-based workflows, and platforms such as ComfyUI, Stable Diffusion, Flux, Runway, Veo, Luma, Adobe Creative Cloud, DaVinci Resolve, Unreal Engine, Nuke, or Maya
  • A demonstrated track record of taking emerging technology from early evaluation and prototyping through to a dependable workflow used on a real production
  • Comfort working directly with directors, producers, production designers, VFX supervisors, editors, artists, engineers, model partners, customers, and senior executives
  • Strong technical and product judgment across creative quality, controllability, infrastructure cost, reliability, security, licensing, production deadlines, and operational risk
  • Excellent communication and teaching skills, with the ability to turn complex techniques into clear documentation, demonstrations, workshops, and reusable learning resources
  • High ownership, bias to action, intellectual honesty, and a filmmaker-first mindset - you move quickly, communicate limitations clearly, and believe AI should amplify creative teams rather than replace them
  • Work at the forefront of AI-native filmmaking, developing the workflows behind award-winning content that is genuinely changing how stories get made and who gets to make them
