Luma is hiring: Creative Technologist in Los Angeles

Luma · Los Angeles, CA, USA ·

Job type:
Full Time

You’ll work close to the model and close to the craft, and translate between them every day. You’re the build engine behind Forward Deployed Creative: you pressure-test new endpoints and features before anyone else and turn what Luma can do into working examples that prospects and customers can see, touch, and copy.


This is a hands‑on individual contributor role that expects a professional bar from brands, agencies, or production, so the workflows you build hold up under real creative scrutiny rather than only in a demo. It fits someone who’d rather build the thing than talk about building it. If you’re looking for a strategy or management seat, this isn’t it.


What You’ll Own



  • Build end‑to‑end production workflows, concept to delivery, tailored to specific brand, agency, and entertainment use cases.


  • Translate real customer briefs into working prototypes that prove what’s possible.


  • Pressure‑test new models, endpoints, and features, developing techniques that push generative image and video forward.


  • Build demo boards that make Luma’s value obvious in a live pitch, and partner with Sales on discovery and demo prep.


  • Build and maintain a library of vertical‑specific demos and customer boards that FDCs use to drive adoption.


  • Develop reusable boards, templates, and pipelines, and document what works so it spreads across the team.



First 90 Days


One way the first 90 could unfold.



  • Days 1–30 — Immerse & Diagnose: Learn the models and current endpoints deeply, and see how FDCs and Sales use creative today.


  • Days 30–60 — Ship & Validate: Turn real customer briefs into working prototypes and demo boards used in live pitches.


  • Days 60–90 — Scale & Systemize: Build a maintained demo library and reusable pipelines that scale across accounts and verticals.



What You Bring



  • Deep, hands‑on daily experience using generative AI for image and video — you know where the tools break and where they shine.


  • A background in brands, agencies, or film production and VFX, with a feel for how professional creative work gets made and shipped.


  • A portfolio that shows taste, craft, and range across mediums.


  • Speed and a prototyping instinct: you solve creative problems by building.


  • Comfort working alongside Sales and embedded creatives, translating between commercial goals and creative execution.



Nice to Have



  • Experience at an innovative creative agency (e.g. Buck, The Mill) or an in‑house tech/brand lab (e.g. Google Creative Lab, Unity).


  • Hands‑on experience building with generative AI APIs or integrating AI tools into production pipelines.


  • A public profile as a creator or thought leader in generative AI or emerging tech.
