Job type:
Full Time

Secret Level is building Liquid Engine, a next-generation platform for AI-driven content creation—bringing structure, speed, and intelligence to modern production workflows.

We’re looking for a Creative Engineer to join the team—someone who can operate at the intersection of engineering, generative AI, and creative production. This role is for builders who not only understand the tools, but know how to push them, combine them, and turn them into scalable workflows.

You’ll work closely with engineers, producers, and artists to design, build, and evolve how AI is used across real projects.

What You’ll Do

Design and build end-to-end generative workflows using modern AI tools and APIsDevelop new creative capabilities using platforms like ComfyUI, Kling, Google Veo, Seedance, Higgsfield, and Nano Banana

Translate creative direction into repeatable, parameterized systems

Build tools and abstractions that make complex workflows usable by non-engineers

Integrate generative tools into Liquid Engine via APIs, pipelines, and orchestration layers

Evaluate and iterate on workflows to optimize for quality, cost, and speed

Collaborate with creative teams to develop concepts, shots, and sequences

Contribute to internal libraries, templates, and reusable workflow components

Help define best practices for AI-native production workflows

What We’re Looking For
Core Skills

Strong engineering background (Python, JavaScript, or similar)

Deep hands‑on experience with generative AI tools and workflows

Experience building or customizing pipelines in tools like ComfyUI or similar

Strong understanding of how to control and guide generative outputs

Ability to take ideas from concept through production‑ready systems

Comfort working across APIs, scripts, and UI‑based tools

Creative Production Experience

Strong creative instincts—understanding of composition, motion, or storytelling

Experience working in production environments (film, content, advertising, etc.)

Hands‑on experience with modern generative tools (Kling, Veo, Seedance, Higgsfield, Nano Banana)

Familiarity with node‑based or graph‑based creative systems

Experience with GPU workflows or inference optimization

Background in VFX, motion design, or technical art

Experience building internal tools or creative tooling

Ability to evaluate outputs critically and iterate toward quality

How You Work

You are both technical and creative—comfortable in code and in concept

You move quickly and iterate in real time

You are tool‑agnostic and constantly exploring new platforms

You focus on what works in production, not just what demos well

You simplify complexity into usable systems

You collaborate deeply with both engineers and creatives

Why Join Secret Level

Work at the frontier of AI‑native content creation

Help define how generative tools are used in production

High ownership and creative impact from day one

Small, senior team operating at high velocity

Opportunity to shape next‑gen storytelling workflows
