About the role

  • CPI-feedback creative critic loop - Extend our LLM critic + performance-feedback regeneration from images-only to images + video + copy, all closed-loop, all running unsupervised at thousands of variants per day.
  • Generative model router - Pick the right model per brief (Flux Schnell vs Pro, Veo 3, Sora, Runway Gen-3/4, Kling, Hailuo), minimizing $/asset under a quality floor.
  • Prove your routing strategy in production via A/B.

Responsibilities

  • Video pipeline - Build from a topic + product brief to a platform-ready 9:16 vertical ad - script, scene plan, b-roll, voiceover (ElevenLabs / Hedra), captions - in under 90 seconds per iteration, under $0.50 per iteration.
  • You think about cost as a first-class design constraint - $/asset, $/click, $/install. Cost arbitrage between model tiers is something you've actually shipped.
  • At NewsBreak, we design our overall rewards package to attract top talents.

Requirements

  • Event-triggered ad pipeline (video) - Earthquake hits at 14:02 → by 14:12 you have 50 paused video variants in Meta and TikTok, each with platform-specific aspect ratios and locale-specific voiceover.
  • You have public artifacts - a fal demo, a Replicate model, a Civitai upload with >100 downloads, a viral X thread of your generations, a ComfyUI workflow on GitHub.
  • You have scroll-stopping instinct - you know what makes someone not swipe past an ad in the first 3 seconds.
  • You can't tell us why a Flux generation has bad hands or why Veo 3 over-saturates skin.

Compensation

  • The US base salary range for this full-time position is listed below.
  • Annual Base Pay Range
  • $120,000 - $220,000 USD

Benefits

  • We offer a competitive benefits package:
  • Health, dental, and vision care for you and your family (100% coverage for employee)
  • Paid time off and paid holidays
  • FSA, HSA and commuter benefits programs
  • Depending on the position, the role may also be eligible for discretionary bonus and options.
  • Pay may vary based on a number of factors including job-related skills, level, experience, geographic location and relevant education or training.
