Opportunities from Higgsfield (ashby)

WHY WORK AT HIGGSFIELD AI? Higgsfield AI is the fastest-scaling generative AI company in history, hitting $700M in annual revenue run rate, 30M+ users worldwide, 6M+ generations per day, and powering 390 of Fortune 500 brands. We're building at the absolute frontier of AI-powered video creation and next-generation creative tools. Joining Higgsfield means becoming part of a high-impact team shaping the future of AI-native experiences, at a company that isn't just moving fast, but rewriting what fast looks like. ABOUT THE ROLE We are looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer to be the technical-creative weapon behind our enterprise business. This role is part cinematic director, part AI production engineer, part educator. You build the demos and proofs of concept that show Fortune 500 brands what's possible, then make those customers succeed in production: broadcast-grade cinematic work, repeatable workflows on the Higgsfield stack, and trained client teams that keep creating after the engagement. The bar for this role is insanely high-quality cinematic knowledge and taste. You know why a shot works: lensing, lighting, blocking, camera movement, pacing, edit rhythm. And you know how to get that out of generative models, reliably, at commercial quality, on deadlines measured in days. WHAT YOU'LL DO SET UP ENTERPRISE CUSTOMERS FOR SUCCESS

• Convert client briefs into tailored, visually stunning demos and proofs of concept.
• Own the technical-creative side of pilots from kickoff to production rollout.
• Track the generative AI model landscape constantly so our work stays ahead of anything the client has seen. DELIVER CINEMATIC WORK
• Direct and produce cinematic AI campaigns end-to-end for enterprise customers: creative direction, shot design, character and asset consistency, generation, edit, delivery.
• Set and defend a broadcast-grade quality bar that makes the platform look world-class in public. BUILD PRODUCTION WORKFLOWS
• Turn one-off wins into repeatable pipelines: model chains, presets, prompt systems, automation (APIs, MCP, agentic workflows).
• Reverse-engineer reference ads, film looks, and visual styles into reproducible Higgsfield workflows. EDUCATE AND ENABLE
• Train customer teams hands-on: live workshops, demos, documented workflows they actually use.
• Become a trusted creative-technical advisor to CMOs, creative directors, and production leads. FEED THE PRODUCT
• Bring what you learn in the field back to Product, Engineering, and Research: gaps, failure modes, feature requests, new use cases. YOUR MUST HAVES
• A portfolio of cinematic AI work at commercial quality. Portfolio first, we review every single one, and it matters more than your CV.
• 5+ years in commercial, film, or creative production; 2+ years hands-on with generative AI.
• Deep, current fluency across the generative stack: image and video models, consistency techniques, VFX and motion workflows. You can name the models, the pipelines, and exactly how you got each shot.
• Real cinematic craft: shot design, lighting, composition, storyboarding, editing. You can explain why a frame works, not just generate it.
• Proven client-facing delivery: pilots, PoCs, or commissioned productions taken from brief to finished high-end results on the client's timeline.
• Comfortable presenting to executives and running live demos under pressure.
• Ability to teach: you can make a non-technical creative team dangerous with these tools.
• High sense of ownership, drive and startup, can-do mentality. You are expected to get running on the ground from Day 1.
• High agency. Excellent English. NICE TO HAVES
• Background in film, advertising, fashion, or e-commerce content production (director, DP, editor, creative director).
• Expert-level familiarity with each AI model, including Higgsfield's proprietary models, tools, plugins and skills
• Scripting or automation experience (Python, APIs, ComfyUI, MCP, agent pipelines).
• Prior forward deployed, solutions engineering, or sales engineering experience at an AI or creative platform.
• An existing audience or community in the AI creative ecosystem.
• Experience working with enterprise stakeholders and Fortune 500 brands. THE DEAL
• Competitive salary in USD.
• On-site role in our Almaty office.
• Relocation to Almaty from anywhere: we sponsor and process your work permit, cover your flights, and provide temporary housing while you settle in.
• Full-time position.
