Creative Systems Architect

HH Global•Remote, OR

About The Position

Operating at the strategic intersection of software engineering, generative AI, and high-velocity asset production, the Creative Systems Architect functions as the principal technical anchor within an embedded, always-on creative production studio. Dedicated to a premier global technology client in the AI space, this role bridges front-end creative tooling with enterprise-level technology frameworks. Rather than focusing solely on traditional creative execution or passive automation support, the Creative Systems Architect designs, deploys, and continuously optimizes strategic technical infrastructure. The position is pivotal in championing the strategic deployment of the client's proprietary 1P AI capabilities alongside vetted 3P tools. By establishing repeatable systems, technical governance standards, and automated rendering pipelines, the Creative Systems Architect powers high-volume Direct Response (DR) assets and multi-market localization across the globe, driving operational speed, regional expansion, and ROI performance.

Requirements

7+ years of progressive experience as a Creative Systems Architect, Creative Technologist, Systems Automation Lead, or Solutions Architect within high-volume production studios, agencies, or enterprise technology environments.
Proven track record supporting global tech brands, client-embedded production studios, or enterprise-scale marketing ecosystems.
Advanced proficiency in Python, JavaScript, Node.js, TypeScript, and RESTful/GraphQL API integration.
Strong experience in microservices architecture, serverless computing, and backend/frontend creative engineering.
Demonstrable experience architecting workflows using enterprise LLMs (e.g., Gemini) and generative image, synthetic video, vision, and audio models.
Expert-level knowledge in prompt engineering, prompt library management, and multi-agent workflow orchestration.
Experience in working Google proprietary AI tools including Gemini, Veo, Imagen, Google Flow, Music AI Sandbox, Nano Banana, Google Stitch
Deep experience programmatically controlling design suites and creative engines (e.g., Adobe ExtendScript, Figma API, After Effects automation modules, real-time 3D environments).
Comprehensive understanding of digital ad formats (HTML5, social video, programmatic display), DCO engine architecture, DAM/MAM infrastructure, and media distribution systems.
Hands-on experience building dynamic, multi-language asset templates and systems for global markets.
Ability to look beyond passive technical support to design end-to-end operational and technical infrastructure.
Adept at translating complex AI technical frameworks into actionable workflows for creative production teams, e.g. Creative Directors, Art Directors as well as Data Engineers and Marketing Partners.
Passionate about maintaining craft standards, brand safety, and technical precision even when generating thousands of automated variations at velocity.
Familiarity with enterprise cloud computing platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes) and serverless media processing pipelines.
Strong technical leadership with the ability to articulate high-level system architecture and AI roadmaps to executive leadership.

Responsibilities

Architect, deploy, and govern enterprise-grade AI/ML pipelines, combining the client's proprietary 1P generative AI models with vetted 3P production platforms to automate and optimize the end-to-end creative lifecycle.
Lead multi-agent engineering setups, prompt library architecture, and automated content generation workflows tailored for studio-wide adoption.
Define and oversee the enterprise technology architecture for creative systems (including headless CMS integrations, enterprise DCO engines, and DAM/MAM pipelines) to ensure cross-system security, interoperability, and scalability.
Connect performance telemetry and media data engines to automated creative workflows, enabling programmatic, real-time asset optimization at scale.
Build, deploy, and govern high-velocity production pipelines designed for Direct Response (DR) digital marketing assets across multi-channel campaign ecosystems.
Architect modular design systems, dynamic template schemas, and programmatic rendering pipelines to enable rapid asset resizing, dynamic personalization, and multi-language localization across thousands of variants.
Interface 1P creative platforms directly with performance media channels (e.g., DCO, programmatic display, social media platforms) to accelerate overall asset throughput.
Define, implement, and maintain rigorous technical QA specifications and automated validation testing frameworks for all automated and AI-generated outputs.
Establish visual fidelity, resolution, brand consistency, and platform specification benchmarks across all digital media formats.
Enforce strict compliance across all automation pipelines with data privacy standards, IP safety guidelines, brand safety protocols, and enterprise content governance.
Serve as the principal technical authority across Creative Directors, Software Engineers, and AdTech partners to maintain resilient, platform-compliant production architectures.
Stress-test and optimize 1P AI capabilities and frontier features, providing operational feedback to internal technology leads and platform product teams to influence tool roadmaps.
Actively identify bottlenecks in production environments, building custom scripts, Node/Python tools, or REST/GraphQL API integrations to continuously reduce turnaround times.
Lead technical prototyping for experimental campaign formats, emerging AI features, interactive digital formats, and novel media technologies (e.g., spatial computing, real-time rendering).
Align architectural and technical choices with broader client business objectives, accelerating market entry and optimizing unit economics across expansion strategies.
Develop repeatable systems, technical playbooks, and automated workflows that enable the seamless scaling of global campaign frameworks across multi-region markets.
