Generative Media Engineer, AI Social – US

About This Opportunity

We are representing a well-funded Series C technology company building AI-powered content creation tools. They are seeking a Generative Media Engineer to own their AI-driven social media production pipeline—a system that transforms raw inputs into finished Instagram carousels and video content using LLM agents, voice synthesis, and automated composition.

This is a unique individual contributor role at the intersection of engineering, AI, design, and social media. You'll own the render pipeline, the prompts and agent loops that power it, and the visual quality of shipped output. If you're more creator-engineer than traditional backend developer, this role is built for you.

Responsibilities

• Own the generative media pipeline from prompt to rendered output—images, video, voice, and composite frames
• Design and maintain LLM agent loops with tool-calling, structured outputs, and multi-step workflows
• Build template systems and reusable frameworks rather than one-off content pieces
• Partner with product, design, and content strategy teams to translate creative direction into shipped media
• Evaluate and integrate new AI models, media generation APIs, and rendering tools into the production stack
• Ship production-quality TypeScript and Node.js code within existing platform architecture (Postgres, AWS, Temporal)
• Use AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Cursor) as part of your daily workflow and help the team maximize their value
• Balance exploratory proof-of-concept work with production polish, knowing when each mode is appropriate

What We're Looking For

Required:

• Solid working knowledge of TypeScript and Node.js with experience shipping production code
• Hands-on experience building LLM-driven systems: prompts, structured outputs, tool-calling, agent loops, and evaluations
• At least one shipped piece of generative media (image, video, voice, or music) that has been used by real users
• Portfolio or body of work demonstrating both technical depth and design sensibility
• Formal or self-taught background in design, visual art, film, or motion
• Current fluency with AI-assisted development tools like Claude Code or Cursor in your daily workflow
• Familiarity with Model Context Protocols (MCPs) and how design/productivity tools integrate into AI workflows
• Strong collaboration skills with non-engineering partners—product managers, designers, content strategists
• High ownership mindset with ability to take direction on what to build while raising the bar on execution

Bonus:

• Active personal creator practice (social feed, portfolio, YouTube channel, or similar public work under your own name)
• Track record of experimentation with new AI tools and sharing learnings with teams
• Experience with video generation APIs, voice synthesis platforms, or headless browser rendering

What You Won't Be Doing:

• Platform architecture or distributed systems engineering (you'll partner with teams that own this)
• Defining social media strategy (you'll influence it, but product and content partners own the direction)
• People management—this is a hands-on IC role where you lead through craft
