Job Summary

Join Adobe's Firefly Foundry to define and implement production-grade AI-driven VFX workflows for feature films and episodic content. You will build end-to-end pipelines integrating custom-trained diffusion and video models into compositing, look-dev, previs, and virtual production, working with studios and creative leadership to deploy scalable AI-enabled VFX solutions.

Location: Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Jose, Seattle

Workplace: Hybrid

Employment Type: Full time

Job Function: Data Science & Machine Learning

Key Responsibilities

•Build and validate AI-driven VFX workflows; design end-to-end pipelines that integrate diffusion and video models into compositing, look-dev, previs, and virtual production, writing working prototypes with real shot data.
•Solve hard production problems such as temporal coherence across shot sequences, maintaining art-directable control, and matching on-set lighting and lens characteristics to achieve supervisor fidelity.
•Own the integration surface by defining how Foundry models plug into Nuke, Houdini, Maya, After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Substance 3D; design APIs, node graphs, and plugin architectures.
•Shape the product by translating studio engagements into concrete requirements for Firefly and Foundry engineering teams; bridge VFX supervisor needs with model architecture capabilities.
•Implement and prototype multi-modal model orchestration; coordinate a stack of image, video, animation, and 3D generation models to work together with consistent identity and style.

Travel: Low travel

Key Requirements

•5-10+ years in VFX engineering, pipeline TD, or tools development with shipped credits in film, episodic, or AAA gaming.
•Deep fluency in production VFX workflows: compositing (Nuke), 3D (Maya/Houdini), rendering, look-dev, previs/postvis, editorial handoff, and review (Shotgrid, Frame.io, or equivalent).
•Working knowledge of generative AI fundamentals (diffusion models, LoRA/fine-tuning, ControlNet-style conditioning, prompt engineering, evaluation metrics).
•Proficiency in Python and at least one of C++, Rust, or TypeScript; capable of writing production-quality code.
•Familiarity with VFX data standards: OpenEXR, ACES, USD, Alembic, OpenColorIO.
