About the role
In this role, you will make the high-level design decisions while using AI tools to handle much of the build process. You will oversee typography, layout, framing, color, and pacing across ads, UI animations, and social cuts, inspecting every render and diving directly into After Effects to fix issues and provide product feedback when AI tools fall short.
What you'll do
- Make critical design decisions including typography, layout, framing, color, and pacing across multiple video formats.
- Drive AI video and image tools (such as Claude, Babou AE plugin, Runway, and Midjourney) and evaluate outputs with a designer's eye.
- Inspect every render against written creative briefs to ensure notes are applied and issues stay resolved.
- Open After Effects projects directly to correct mistakes and polish output whenever AI tools fall short.
- Document and report tool limitations and bugs to the engineering team rather than quietly working around them.
What you bring
- Strong design portfolio showcasing solid layout, typography, and color decision-making.
- Working knowledge of Adobe After Effects to troubleshoot, adjust, and fix project files.
- Demonstrated experience using modern AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Midjourney, Runway, Kling, etc.) in a creative workflow.
- Focus on shipping high-volume, quality work rather than spending excessive time hand-crafting single pieces.
- Written English proficiency sufficient to interpret creative briefs and collaborate asynchronously via Slack.
