Lightricks is an AI-first company creating next-generation content creation technology for businesses, enterprises, and studios with a mission to bridge the gap between imagination and creation. At our core is LTX-2, an open-source generative video model, built to deliver expressive, high-fidelity video at unmatched speed. It powers both our own products and a growing ecosystem of partners through API integration.
The company is also known globally for pioneering consumer creativity through products like Facetune, one of the world’s most recognized creative brands, which helped introduce AI-powered visual expression to hundreds of millions of users worldwide. We combine deep research, user-first design, and end-to-end execution from concept to final render to bring the future of expression to all.
What you will be doing:- Be the primary technical point of contact for strategic partners, from early scoping through to implementation handoff. You’ll uncover partner requirements, define POCs, build demos and prototypes, and advise on improving workflows using LTX technologies.
- Architect and implement AI-enhanced solutions that integrate LTX capabilities into partners' existing production pipelines, making them faster, more capable and scalable, and production-ready.
- Translate partner needs into clear internal briefs; surface recurring market signals; assess opportunities for technical feasibility and strategic fit; be a knowledgeable and resourceful thought-partner to the Partnerships team.
- Collaborate closely with R&D, Engineering, Product, Research, and Marketing to coordinate resources and move partner initiatives forward.
- Stay sharp on developments across LTX and the broader generative AI landscape; keep partners informed of what's relevant.
- Support ad-hoc partner-facing operations and initiatives by offering creative insight, production expertise, and technical know-how.
- Portfolio required, including AI-native work. Shipped projects, workflows, or prototypes that demonstrate both creative craft and technical fluency.
- Solid grounding in creative production fundamentals, with hands-on experience across linear content (film/TV, VFX, animation) and interactive/immersive workflows - sufficient to understand how AI can meaningfully improve or extend them. Deep knowledge of tools such as After Effects, Premiere, Houdini, Nuke, DaVinci Resolve, Maya, Blender, Unreal Engine, or Unity.
- Expertise with AI-native tools. Proficiency with ComfyUI is required, including building and maintaining complex multi-node workflows and writing custom nodes. Experience fine-tuning models and training custom LoRAs across stylistic and utility use cases is required.
- Python scripting proficiency, specifically for pipeline development, API integration, and tooling within AI workflows.
- Exceptional communication and presentation skills. You can advise senior creative, technology, and business leaders with clarity and confidence.
- Willingness to travel up to 25% of the time.
- Experience in a client-facing technical role: solutions engineering, technical consulting, or similar.
- Experience in a Creative Technologist, Technical Director, or similar role bridging creative production and technology.
- Experience working alongside or in support of AI/ML research teams in an applied or translational capacity.
A creative technologist: you have craft sensibility and understand how creative work gets made. You've lived inside production pipelines, know what artists and directors care about, and can earn credibility in both creative and technical rooms.
An AI practitioner: you know what current models can and can't do, and you know how to build with them. You've shipped AI workflows, built extensively in ComfyUI or with code, fine-tuned LoRAs, and understand model deployment well enough to architect reliable solutions.
A resourceful self-starter: you have a track record of creating things from scratch in fast-moving, ambiguous environments. You can prototype, test, and iterate without waiting for perfect information.
A clear communicator: you move naturally between technical, creative, and business contexts, and can present to artists, engineers, researchers, and business executives alike.

LTX Insights
What We Do
At our core is LTX- an open-source generative video model built to deliver expressive, high-fidelity video at unmatched speed. It powers our own products and a growing ecosystem of creative partners worldwide. We're one of the few companies globally building our own multimodal foundation models, competing directly with the world's largest AI labs. Startup speed. Experienced leadership. A product people already love. Backed by a proven business model and unicorn-scale resources. We were founded by four computer-science PhDs who never stopped thinking like researchers. That mindset still defines us: deep technical ambition, a bias toward building, and a belief that the best creative tools haven't been invented yet. The team has done it before. Lightricks' suite of apps, including the famous Facetune, has over 500 million downloads worldwide and has won numerous prestigious awards, including Apple's App of the Year, the Apple Design Award and both Apple and Google Play's Best of the Year. What makes us "us" - At LTX, innovation starts with people, not buzzwords. We move fast, speak plainly, and take real ownership. Impact here comes from passion, curiosity, and initiative, and from raising the bar for yourself and the people around you. We believe the best work happens together. The culture here is genuinely collaborative, people share knowledge, back each other up, and win as a team. When things click, everyone feels it. You'll have what you need to do your best work: unrestricted access to compute, tools, and resources. We're AI-native in practice- first access to the latest models, real infrastructure, and a team that learns together in real time. We move at the pace of AI, not just in what we ship, but in how we think and work. Priorities shift, the market moves, and we move with it. If you thrive on change, adapt quickly, and want to be part of a team that keeps up, you'll feel right at home. We build, break, iterate, repeat. What matters here is how you think, what you're curious about, and where you want to go.
LTX Offices
Hybrid Workspace
Employees engage in a combination of remote and on-site work.
We work hybrid. There are set in-office days built into the week, and the rest is remote. We design the mix intentionally, because in-person time makes the work better.
