The Role

We're looking for a Senior Project Manager who can take ownership of projects end-to-end and drive them to completion. Not a "process person" who creates frameworks and documents—someone who actually makes things ship.

You'll start by working closely with our frontend team, then expand to coordinate efforts across the entire product surface. Your job is to ensure our high bar of quality is met, projects don't lose momentum, and conflicting efforts across the org are identified and resolved before they become problems.

You don't need to be a designer or write code, but you need to deeply understand the product, hold strong opinions about what "done" looks like, and understand what it takes to move and iterate quickly while maintaining a high quality bar.

What You'll Do

  • Own project delivery: Take projects from kickoff to launch. Set timelines, identify blockers early, chase them down relentlessly, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks.

  • Coordinate across teams: Work with engineering, design, and other stakeholders to align priorities and surface conflicts before they cause rework. You're the connective tissue that keeps efforts from working at cross-purposes.

  • Hold the quality bar: Ensure features ship complete—not half-baked. Champion UX polish and consistency.

  • Drive timeline predictability: When we say we'll ship something, we ship it. You'll build the systems and habits that make this the default, not the exception.

  • Communicate clearly: Run tight meetings. Write clear async updates. Make sure everyone knows what's happening, what's blocked, and what's next—without creating noise.

  • Work directly with engineering and product leadership: You'll collaborate closely with engineering and product leaders to align on priorities and execution.

You Might Be a Fit If You

  • Have 6+ years of experience in project management, program management, or producer roles—ideally at companies building creative tools (design software, video editors, game engines, VFX tools, etc.)

  • Are technically literate: You can talk to engineers, understand the consequences of tech debt, and the cost of spending too much or too little time addressing it.

  • Have relentless follow-through: Nothing escapes your tracking. Blockers get resolved. Decisions get made. Things ship.

  • Are a strong communicator: You write clearly, run efficient meetings, and can distill complexity into simple status updates

  • Have a bias for action: You don't wait for permission. You see something stuck, you unstick it.

  • Care about quality: You have taste. You notice when UX is inconsistent or when a feature is being shipped before it's ready.

  • Thrive in fast-moving, ambiguous environments where you define the process, not follow it.

This Role Is Not For You If

  • You want to build elaborate frameworks, processes, and documentation instead of shipping product

  • You're a passive coordinator who takes notes and sends follow-ups but doesn't actually drive

  • You say yes to everything and can't hold the line on scope

  • You need everything defined before you can act

Nice to Have

  • Experience with ComfyUI or similar node-based creative tools

  • Background in gaming, VFX, or film production

  • Experience coordinating open-source projects or community ecosystems

What is ComfyUI?

ComfyUI is the world’s leading visual AI platform — an open, modular system where anyone can build, customize, and automate AI workflows with precision and full control.

Unlike most AI tools that hide their inner workings behind a simple prompt box, ComfyUI gives professionals the freedom to design their own pipelines — connecting models, tools, and logic visually like building blocks.

It’s used by artists, filmmakers, video game creators, designers, researchers, VFX houses, and among others, teams at OpenAI, Netflix, Amazon Studios, Ubisoft, EA, and Tencent — all who want to go beyond presets and truly shape how AI creates.

ComfyUI empowers those who were not trained with the power of the brush to also be a painter, and those who are, to be a maestro.

  • Built for users who value transparency and control Infinitely extensible — thousands of community-made nodes and integrations

  • Scales from creative experimentation to production automation

  • Open-source, used by millions, and backed by one of the most active AI communities online

  • Evolving to democratize visual AI creation: empowering everyone from hobbyists to studios, storytellers, and enterprises to be more productive and creative than ever before

ComfyUI isn’t just another AI app. It’s aiming to become the operating system for visual generative AI , the foundation on which the next generation of creative tools are being built.

About Us

We are a small, intense, and well-funded team in San Francisco who push ComfyUI and its ecosystem forward. Our team comes from Stability AI and Google and many contributed to the ComfyUI ecosystem way before working here.

Our organization is flat and there is no hierarchy, only categories: dev, arts, prod, ops, etc (and no, there is no one here with the title of Member of Technical Staff, it’s long and silly for a job title).

The only thing that matters is the quality of your cultural fit and execution. We work hard and demand a lot of each other. But we have fun: everyone is here to make something meaningful that will end up being our life’s work. If this mission excites you and you view yourself as a top-tier talent, your future latent self is waiting for you at Comfy.

Check out our Github and blog for what we’ve been working on. Our investors include Pace Capital, Chemistry, Abstract Venture, and Guillermo Rauch.
