ComfyUI Pipeline TD

We’re looking for a hands-on technical artist who can design, maintain, and optimize scalable ComfyUI pipelines for production, ensuring reproducibility, efficiency, and integration across departments.

This is a freelance role starting in March with remote flexibility across the EU, though the ideal candidate is based in Austria and available to work onsite.

What you’ll do

• Design and maintain scalable AI generation pipelines for production environments

• Integrate ComfyUI into existing studio pipeline infrastructure

• Develop automation tools for batch generation and shot-based processing

• Ensure reproducibility, version control, and asset traceability across workflows

• Collaborate with artists and supervisors to build tools that streamline production tasks and abstract technical complexity

• Diagnose and resolve pipeline bottlenecks, dependency conflicts, and broken data flows across departments 

Who you are

• Strong Python proficiency and experience with scripting and automation

• Experience integrating with production tracking systems such as ShotGrid or ftrack

• Deep understanding of VFX pipeline stages, data flow, and interdepartmental dependencies

• Experience with APIs, automation scripting, and pipeline orchestration to connect tools and streamline workflows

• Expertise with ComfyUI-based local AI pipelines, including workflow optimization, model handling, performance tuning, and scaling for production

• Experience with Git or other version control systems

• Solid understanding of asset management, publishing systems, naming conventions, and structured project organization

• Familiarity with render workflows, render farm systems, and intermediate data formats (EXR, Alembic)

• Able to diagnose and resolve pipeline bottlenecks, dependency conflicts, or broken data flows across departments

Good to have

• Experience designing production pipelines from scratch or integrating new departments and tools into existing pipelines

• Knowledge of color pipelines (ACES, OCIO)

• Experience supporting production environments under active delivery schedules

What we offer

• A friendly, creative studio environment with talented people

• Freedom to experiment with pipeline solutions and implement impactful tools

• Meaningful projects where your work directly supports high-quality VFX production

• Minimal bureaucracy - we focus on what truly works

• Freelance flexibility with remote possibilities (Austria-based onsite preferred)
