Senior AI Engineer, Media
$175,000–$200,000 year
Remote · United States
Job Summary
Senior AI Engineer, Media responsible for designing, building, and maintaining agentic AI workflows and generative media pipelines, shipping internal AI tools and dashboards, and implementing monitoring and cost-optimization across media production teams. Role emphasizes rapid prototyping and production deployment within a media studio context, collaboration with CTO and Head of AI, and delivering measurable outcomes through multi-modal AI systems and tooling that empower editors, writers, producers, and designers.
Required Qualifications
- 5+ years building production software, with strong Python, API design, databases, and cloud infrastructure fundamentals. Enough frontend competence to ship a usable internal tool without a dedicated frontend engineer
- 2+ years building production agentic AI systems — framework-based (e.g., LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, Google ADK, Anthropic managed agents, OpenAI Agents SDK, AutoGen, or equivalent) or framework-free with custom orchestration. Hands-on experience with RAG (including multi-modal), evaluation, and prompt engineering
- Strong instincts for agent-tool interface design. Direct MCP experience is a plus; the bar is the ability to reason clearly about tool surfaces, schemas, granularity, and statefulness
- Proven track record building internal tools, dashboards, and API integrations that non-technical users actually adopt. Comfort partnering directly with creative roles — editors, writers, producers, designers — and translating their workflows into systems
- Demonstrated ability to operate in ambiguity, prototype rapidly, and ship production-grade systems without a fully scoped specification
