Design Technologist, éShop Content Services

The London Creative Hub is looking for a Design Technologist to join our studio team and drive innovation in how we create visual content at scale. This role sits at the intersection of creative production and technology — you'll work directly with our studio crews, creatives, and operations teams to build tools, automate workflows, and implement emerging technologies (GenAI, Computer Vision, Virtual Production) that make content creation faster, smarter, and more consistent. You'll act as the bridge between creative and engineering disciplines — understanding technical problems from an artistic perspective and delivering solutions that our teams can actually use on set and in post-production. Key job responsibilities Workflow Automation: Design, develop, and maintain semi-automated production workflows for in-house video and stills creation — including virtual production pipelines and GenAI-assisted processes Creative Tooling: Build and maintain a centralised suite of creative tools, scripts, and automation that improve crew productivity and reduce manual repetition Bridge Role: Act as the connective tissue between creative teams (photographers, videographers, art directors, stylists) and engineering/tech teams — translating creative needs into technical solutions and vice versa Prototyping & Innovation: Research, prototype, and implement the latest industry trends (GenAI, CV, AR/VR, real-time rendering) to expand studio production capabilities and improve efficiency On-Set Collaboration: Work directly with studio production teams — observing workflows, identifying friction points, and delivering practical solutions that integrate seamlessly into existing processes Quality & Consistency: Develop technical solutions that support creative consistency across high-volume output — ensuring visual standards are maintained at scale A day in the life A typical day includes coding and developing tools, workflows, and automation to improve the creative crew's experience and increase productivity. You'll spend time on the studio floor observing production workflows, identifying opportunities, then returning to your desk to prototype and build solutions. This role is focused on in-house content creation — spanning stills, video, virtual production, and GenAI workflows. You'll collaborate daily with production teams, creative leads, and operations, balancing technical rigour with creative empathy.
