Technical Director - Head of Generative Engineering

Technical Director / Head of Generative Engineering

Location : Remote (India)

Level : Director / Head (8–12+ years)

About the role

LoglineAI is building a “Studio OS” that converts scripts, briefs, and assets into shots, sequences, and finished films using GenAI, 3D, and VFX. This role owns the overall architecture and technical direction of that platform. The focus is on designing and operating production-grade systems that combine AI models, media pipelines, and cloud infrastructure into a reliable, scalable environment for internal and external users.

The Technical Director / Head of Generative Engineering will lead a team, define technical standards, and work closely with production and creative stakeholders. The role requires experience with high-scale backend systems and familiarity with media / VFX or real-time graphics environments.

Responsibilities

• Design and own the architecture of Logline’s generative production platform : APIs, workflow engine, model gateway, render orchestration, and asset / metadata systems.
• Lead and mentor a team of pipeline engineers, tools engineers, and ML engineers; define coding standards and best practices.
• Translate requirements from producers, directors, and GenAI artists into robust, repeatable pipelines.
• Integrate external AI services (e.g., Veo, Kling, Runway, SD / ComfyUI, upscalers, QC models) into a single coherent system.
• Define and implement observability and reliability : logging, metrics, tracing, error budgets, incident response.
• Partner with the founder on the technical roadmap for the Studio OS and its evolution into a SaaS product.

Requirements

Ideal Candidate
