Forward Deployed AI Engineer - Creative Technologist
About The Position
The Forward Deployed Engineer - Creative Technologist is a hands-on technical innovator who works with our AI technology partners to rapidly prototype and deploy AI-powered creative solutions that maximize value realization from Generative AI investments. You will be embedded within client environments, building custom plugins, automating creative workflows, and creating novel integrations that demonstrate the transformative potential of generative AI in content creation. Working at the intersection of design and engineering, you will own technical systems end-to-end—from rapid prototyping through production deployment. Your expertise in Adobe App Builder, Node.js, Python, and AI technologies will enable you to quickly analyze client challenges, architect innovative solutions, and build working prototypes that capture field-proven use cases.
Requirements
- 7-8 years of experience in creative technology, full-stack engineering, or technical product development
- Experience using rapid prototyping, structured testing, and continuous refinement as core working methods. A portfolio demonstrating a history of rapid app/tool development is highly recommended.
- Experience with Adobe Creative Cloud APIs, SDK, CEP frameworks, Firefly Services APIs, and building custom plugins/extensions (ex: Photoshop, Figma, etc.)
- Experience with full-stack development, modern web technologies, API integration, cloud deployment
- Hands-on experience with LLMs, diffusion models, RAG pipelines, vector databases, prompt engineering, model optimization, and AI agent frameworks with multimodal processing
- Deep understanding of creative workflows, content production pipelines, and design tool ecosystems
- Demonstrated ability to own complex systems end-to-end from ideation through deployment
- Proven ability to navigate seamlessly across disciplines (ML, animation pipelines, plugin architecture, generative models)
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with ability to navigate ambiguity and evolving requirements
- Willingness to travel within the US (10–20%)
