SeniorAIEngineer,Media

ROLE ACQ Media is the in-house media engine behind Acquisition.com http://Acquisition.com, producing long-form series, podcasts, and daily social content at studio scale for millions of viewers. We are building an AI-native production system that makes our team measurably faster, more consistent, and more capable than any team operating without it. The Senior AI Engineer, Media is the technical builder who ships that system. You design, construct, and maintain the agentic workflows, internal AI tools, and generative media pipelines that power every department in our studio operation. This is a production engineering role: prototype rapidly, but ship to a bar production teams can rely on every day. This is a senior individual-contributor engineering role. You are not managing a team, and you do not own the strategic roadmap — the Head of AI does. You make architectural and shipping decisions inside that roadmap, flag what will not work, and ship on a timeline production can plan against. You report to the Head of AI, Media with a dotted line to the CTO. A second hire — a generative-media specialist focused on the creative tooling layer — will follow this one and partner with you on the deepest creative work. RESPONSIBILITIES - Design, build, and maintain agentic AI workflows, owning the full lifecycle from prototype through production monitoring. Framework choice is yours — LangChain/LangGraph, CrewAI, Google ADK, Anthropic’s managed agents, OpenAI Agents SDK, or no framework at all if that is the right call - Build and operate generative media pipelines (video, audio, captioning, thumbnails, long-form to short-form repurposing) using ComfyUI, Fal, and direct model APIs. You will partner with the generative-media specialist on the deepest creative-tooling work once that role is filled - Ship internal AI tools and dashboards (including search, retrieval, and MCP-exposed surfaces) that give Post, Art, Content, and Marketing teammates direct access to AI workflows witho
