Role Description

We are looking for a Mid/Senior AI Cinematic Video Editor who is deeply embedded in generative video workflows and can independently craft high-quality, narrative-driven content from concept to final output. You are a sharp-eyed video editor comfortable operating at the intersection of creativity and emerging technology, building visually compelling longform videos using AI-first pipelines. You take ownership of the entire production stack — from prompting and generation to editing, compositing, graphic design work and final delivery. You thrive in a high-performance environment where your quick wits and passion for story-telling shine.

Reporting to your Content Lead, this is what you'll be doing:

Conceptualise scripts based on current production needs and centred around existing AI characters (our own IPs)

Create narrative-driven, longform video content, including stylized and explicit NSFW visuals, with a strong focus on storytelling, atmosphere, and visual coherence throughout

Own and manage end-to-end AI video production workflows, from ideation and prompting to generation, editing, and post-production

Work extensively with ComfyUI pipelines, building, customizing, and optimizing node-based workflows for image and video generation

Utilize tools such as Stable Diffusion (AUTOMATIC1111), ComfyUI, Runway, Pika, and other AI video platforms to produce high-quality visual sequences

Develop and maintain consistent character appearance, style, and scene continuity across longer narratives using advanced techniques

Integrate motion graphic design and colour correction to deliver cohesive final outputs

Experiment rapidly with new AI models, tools, and techniques, incorporating them into production workflows and sharing skills with the rest of the team

Align with your Content Lead’s creative direction while maintaining a high degree of autonomy in execution and technical decision-making

Continuously refine workflows for efficiency, scalability, and output quality

Qualifications

4–6+ years of experience in video production, VFX, or digital art, with a strong portfolio (AI-driven video work is a must)

Proven experience with ComfyUI (mandatory), including building and managing complex node-based workflows

Strong proficiency in Stable Diffusion / AUTOMATIC1111 and related tooling (Advanced prompting, working with trained LoRAs, refining, upscaling, inpainting etc.)

Hands-on experience with the latest AI video tools and models (e.g., Kling, Seedance, Happy Horse, and similar emerging options)

Solid understanding of AI image/video generation pipelines, including prompting, batching, consistency techniques, and post-processing

Experience with traditional tools like Premiere Pro, After Effects or similar for final assembly and polish

Strong grasp of visual storytelling, pacing, composition, and cinematic language

Ability to maintain character and scene consistency across sequences in AI-generated content

Requirements

Strong communication & collaboration skills (fluent in English)

High ownership — able to take ideas from concept to completion independently

Experimental mindset — comfortable navigating ambiguity and evolving tools

Fast iteration cycles — able to test, fail, refine, and improve quickly

Curious and self-driven — constantly exploring new AI capabilities and workflows

Open to feedback and continuous improvement

Comfortable working with uncensored models and explicit adult content

Bonus Points

Experience in AI-native storytelling or filmmaking

Background in 3D, VFX, technical art or as a colourist

Familiarity with training/customizing models (LoRAs, embeddings, fine-tuning)

Prior experience in adult, dating, or adjacent creative industries a huge bonus
