TL;DR

As a senior technical creator on Adobe’s Firefly Services team, you will embed with enterprise customers to understand their content supply chain and craft custom AI-powered video workflows using Adobe Firefly Creative Production. Your daily tasks include translating customer briefs into working video workflows by composing APIs for cutdowns, semantic-lock reframes, dynamic graphics rendering, dubbing, lip-syncing, and multi-channel production at scale. You will also build thin front-ends or conversational experiences, create custom workflow nodes, integrate with existing video stacks like Frame.io and Workfront, train customer teams, and demonstrate your work effectively. Ideal candidates have 5–10 years of experience in both video production and technical building, fluency in Adobe’s creative suite and Firefly Services, and a strong understanding of the creative content supply chain. You must be adept at integrating new APIs quickly, possess deep knowledge of After Effects and Premiere Pro pipelines, and demonstrate extreme ownership and customer orientation to deliver tangible business outcomes.

What you'll do

  • Translate customer briefs into working video workflows using Adobe Firefly Services and Workflow Builder.
  • Build custom workflow nodes and integrate with customers' video stacks, including Frame.io and MAM systems.
  • Train customer teams on new video production workflows and ensure smooth handoff upon completion.
  • Embed with enterprise clients to understand their content supply chain and become a trusted advisor within 90 days.
  • Ship working URLs for thin front-ends or conversational experiences using App Builder, Azure Functions, or AWS Lambda.

What we're looking for

  • 5-10 years of experience in both video production and technical development.
  • Deep expertise in video production pipelines, including After Effects and Premiere Pro.
  • Fluency with Firefly Services and Workflow Builder or ability to quickly learn new APIs.
  • Strong customer orientation and ability to translate tech solutions into business ROI.
  • Extreme ownership and a get-shit-done (GSD) attitude for project success.
  • Passion for coding, generative AI, and video workflows with a public portfolio showcasing both creative and technical work.
