Pipeline Technical Director – AI Movies

Seniority: Mid-level

Location: Stockholm, Sweden. Hybrid but we hope you like our office!

At Blenda Labs, we’re rethinking how movies are made—combining cutting-edge AI tools with the best creative talent to produce jaw-dropping video on famous IP such as Pippi Långstrump and Sunes värld.

We're looking for a Pipeline Technical Director to join our team. You'll sit at the intersection of art and engineering — building the tools and automation that let our creative pipeline move fast without breaking. From AI-assisted video workflows to game engine tooling and procedural systems, you'll help define how content actually gets made here. You'll be laying the foundation for a future team of artists and developers, but this is a hands-on role first and foremost.

What you'll do

• Build and extend video and asset processing pipelines using Python, ComfyUI, and game engine environments (Godot, Unreal, or Unity)
• Write pipeline tooling and automations that connect AI generation, asset handling, rendering, and versioning
• Solve hard problems at the edges of AI video generation: frame cleanup, temporal consistency, motion quality
• Collaborate with artists, AI developers, and producers to bridge creative intent and technical output
• Prototype and ship tools that real artists will depend on daily

What we're looking for

• A technical director mindset: you think in systems, not just one-off scripts
• Familiarity with at least one game engine (Godot, Unreal, or Unity) as a pipeline or animation environment
• Strong Python skills; scripting experience in digital content creation tools (Maya, Blender) is a plus
• Experience with AI tools and workflows, e.g. ComfyUI or similar
• A sharp eye for motion quality — you feel when something's off before you can name why

Bonus:

• Hands-on rigging experience — character rigs, IK/FK solvers, control hierarchies, or procedural setups
• Experience with real-time skeletal animation systems or mesh pipeline tooling
• JavaScript/TypeScript for tooling or editor extensions
• Background in VFX or post-production

What we offer

• Hybrid role in Stockholm. We share office space with Epidemic Sound near Medborgarplatsen, Stockholm.
• A chance to work hard and grow very fast with an extremely ambitious team.
• We want to start with a 3 month full-time consultant role to see if we’re a good fit.
• Salary + equity – we all start on the lower end but we’re part of the upside.

Sounds like a fit? Drop us a line and show us what you've built.
