We are seeking a highly motivated and intellectually curious Software Developer to join our team in a new and unique role focused on innovation and operational efficiency. This position is ideal for a recent MA graduate or early-career technologist with strong academic grounding in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and modern software development techniques. The role will work across Film, TV, Games, and Ads to turn small problems into creative solutions.

Sitting outside the core development team, this role is designed to act as an internal consultant and creative technologist, working across departments to uncover inefficiencies and identify opportunities for automation, augmentation, and transformation through the smart application of technology. You will report directly to the CTO and maintain a dotted-line relationship with the CCO, giving you direct access to strategic decision-making and operational priorities. This unique structure is intended to accelerate the process of tech-enabling the business and building a culture of innovation from the ground up.

Key Responsibilities:

• Identify, scope, and deliver innovative software solutions to improve operational workflows and business processes.
• Use a combination of AI/ML, scripting, and traditional development methods to build prototypes and production-ready tools.
• Conduct internal discovery across business units to identify pain points and areas for efficiency gains.
• Build lightweight applications, automations, or scripts that reduce manual work and enable smarter decision-making.
• Evaluate and integrate third-party tools or APIs where appropriate.
• Work collaboratively with teams across departments, while maintaining autonomy and ownership over your projects.
• Communicate complex technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
• Stay abreast of emerging technologies in AI, ML, automation, and low-code/no-code platforms.
• Document solutions and provide basic training/support to end users.

What will you do?

• Talk with artists, producers, and operators to spot friction.
• Prototype in days and ship small tools that remove steps.
• Mix innovative models with scripts and simple apps.
• Use APIs to connect with the tools our teams already use.
• Share short demos and clear docs so people adopt your work.

What will you bring?

• Portfolio with two or three small tools or prototypes.
• Experience with PyTorch, TensorFlow, or scikit-learn.
• You enjoy interviews and workshops and can explain ideas in plain language.
• You set your own milestones and keep to them.
• Curiosity and a bias to ship/launch internally.
