[Hiring] Post Production Automation Engineer @ TubeScience

Role Description

This is a builder role — for someone genuinely excited about where AI and automation are taking Post-Production. You’ll own our automation and AI roadmap from day one, with the autonomy to identify problems and ship solutions without waiting to be asked. You are the product lead, the architect, and the builder — all in one.

What You’ll Own

• Automation & AI Engineering
  • Architect end-to-end automation across ingest, QC, editing, delivery, and archival
  • Deploy LLMs, generative video platforms, and intelligent metadata/tagging systems
  • Design agent-based workflows that eliminate manual effort
  • Evaluate emerging AI tooling and own build-vs-buy decisions
• Systems Architecture & Integration
  • Own our Iconik MAM: custom actions, metadata schemas, transcoding, and API integrations
  • Build REST API and webhook integrations across post tools and third-party platforms
  • Develop automation pipelines in n8n, Make, or Zapier — or go custom in Python/JS
  • Design for resilience: logging, error handling, alerting, and monitoring
• Scripting & Tool Development
  • Write production-grade Python and JS/Node.js scripts across Adobe Creative Suite
  • Build internal tools that give editors superpowers without exposing the complexity
  • Build and maintain Adobe CEP/UXP panels inside the tools editors already use
• R&D & Proactive Improvement
  • Audit the post pipeline for bottlenecks before the team surfaces them
  • Prototype emerging tech — AI, ML, new codecs, cloud-native media workflows
  • Own the Post-Production tooling roadmap with minimal oversight
• Collaboration & Documentation
  • Translate Post-Production creative needs into precise technical requirements
  • Align with core engineering on infrastructure, deployment, and architecture
  • Document every system thoroughly so the team can run it confidently
  • Serve as final escalation for complex technical issues the post team can’t resolve

Qualifications

• 4–6+ years in post-production engineering or workflow automation — high-volume advertising or broadcast preferred
• Strong Python and/or JavaScript/Node.js — clean, production-grade code
• Proven REST API integration experience with solid edge-case handling
• Expert-level Iconik MAM experience strongly preferred
• Hands-on with LLMs, generative AI, and orchestration tools (n8n, Make, Zapier or equivalent)
• Deep fluency in codecs, containers, color pipelines, and shared storage (e.g. LucidLink)
• Adobe Creative Suite scripting experience — CEP/UXP panel dev a strong plus
• Working knowledge of AWS or Google Cloud and cloud-native media workflows
• Genuine passion for post-production and excitement about transforming it with technology

Bonus Points

• Experience with AI video generation tools (Runway, Veo, Sora) in production
• Background in high-volume performance advertising or broadcast
• Multi-step agentic pipeline design or large-scale workflow orchestration
• Open-source contributions in the media/post-production space
• Experience with data pipelines or BI tooling connected to production metadata

Benefits

• Health, Vision & Dental coverage
• Unlimited PTO
• 401(k) + Matching
• Life Insurance
• Paid Sick Days
• Paid Parental Leave
