AI Creative Engineer

Overview

Partner with Aquent to step into a groundbreaking role with a global technology leader renowned for driving industry-defining software and business innovation. As a pioneering force on a newly established creative production team, you will have the unique opportunity to architect the future of automated, AI-driven creative workflows. This isn’t just about using cutting-edge AI tools—it’s about building them from the ground up, directly shaping how high-impact marketing assets are scaled. Your work will bridge the gap between advanced engineering and creative design, unleashing unprecedented speed and innovation across the organization.

The Opportunity:

We are seeking a visionary technical builder with a deep curiosity for creative workflows to serve as the technical architect behind our automated and agentic production pipelines. In this dynamic role, you will engineer the agentic infrastructure, custom internal applications, and automated workflows that power our creative studio. By translating complex creative requirements into robust, automated software solutions, you will build systems that programmatically read design systems, interpret template libraries, and generate scaled digital assets at speed.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, build, and deploy agentic workflows and custom internal tools utilizing Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, and API ecosystems to automate the generation of static and video ad assets.
• Architect and manage Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and configurations, establishing secure, standardized connections between LLM applications and external tools, data sources, and asset repositories.
• Develop and maintain the technical plumbing and API integrations connecting performance data pipelines, media libraries, and production software.
• Engineer advanced context and prompt frameworks, utilizing MCP and other tooling to ensure brand guidelines, design specs, and program-specific data sources are accessible and agent-readable.
• Build automated agents capable of reading design systems, parsing creative template libraries, and outputting production-ready static and video assets.
• Support the operational growth of the studio by architecting automated QA/QC and performance reporting tools.
• Collaborate closely with creative strategists and designers to translate creative hypotheses and workflow bottlenecks into technical code requirements.
• Maintain clean, documented code for all internal tools, agents, and custom integrations to ensure stable, repeatable, and scalable workflows.

What You Bring (Must-Have Qualifications):

• Proven experience building agentic tools, multi-agent frameworks, and automated workflows using orchestration libraries like LangChain, CrewAI, or StackAI.
• Deep programmatic fluency with LLM APIs (specifically Anthropic Claude and OpenAI SDKs), vector databases (such as Pinecone or Chroma), and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) concepts.
• Hands-on experience developing with Model Context Protocol (MCP).
• Strong software development fundamentals in Python and JavaScript/Node.js, with extensive experience building, connecting, and securing REST APIs.
• Familiarity with context engineering, prompt architecture, and structured data formats (JSON, XML) used to drive automated design and video workflows.
• Exceptional technical problem-solving skills, with the ability to build functional, scrappy prototypes quickly and scale them into stable internal tools.
• Strong communication skills, with the unique ability to collaborate comfortably between highly technical development workflows and creative design teams.

Nice-to-Have Qualifications:

• An understanding of creative assets and production metadata, specifically knowing how to programmatically interact with design systems, template libraries, or video rendering engines.
