Gen AI workflow designers are experts in creating efficient, functional workflows for deploying Audiovisual Generative AI models. With ComfyUI as their primary platform, they stay on the cutting edge of the open and closed source Gen AI landscape - identifying and integrating the latest tools and technologies. They are responsible for developing new workflows, finessing them and keeping existing ones aligned with the state of the art.

This team works closely with the broader Gen AI and research groups to create and evaluate workflow templates, finessing them to ensure they maximise the performance of new tools and models. A key part of the role is also experimenting with novel combinations of existing models and techniques within broader workflows. They also support creative and product teams by building templatable workflows tailored to their specific needs, then collaborating with DevOps teams to transition those into scalable, cross-platform solutions.

• Design and maintain efficient, functional workflows for deploying audiovisual GenAI models, primarily using ComfyUI.
• Identify, integrate, and update workflows with state-of-the-art tools and technologies.
• Collaborate with GenAI and research teams to develop, evaluate, and refine workflow templates that maximize model performance.
• Experiment with novel model and tool combinations to enhance existing workflows and create new ones.
• Support creative and product teams by building templatable, tailored workflows and working with multi disciplinary teams to transition them into scalable solutions.
• Work alongside Gen AI pipeline team to maintain and develop our custom ComfyUI environment.
• Present and evaluate alternative model deployment platforms while contributing to internal platform development.

• Experience collaborating with developers.
• Professional experience testing photoreal generative models, ideally with a focus on video applications.
• Deep engagement and awareness of the Gen AI communities and offerings, across both open and closed-source spaces.
• Comfortable onboarding and training artists from other disciplines in ComfyUI usage to expand the wider Gen AI artist group.
