Full Job Description
About the role

The Forward Deployed Creative Technologist sits at the front line of every customer engagement we run. When a Fortune 500 brand team, a major studio, or a fast-growing agency wants to see what Comfy can do with their data, their style, their pipeline, you're the one who builds it. Then you ride along through close and into production. Part Comfy expert, part GTM, part dev rel. You'll work directly with our Founding Account Executive and the broader GTM team.

The depth we expect on Comfy itself is the bar. The bar isn't "I've used it." The bar is "I've shipped output I'm proud of, broken things, fixed them, and have opinions on workflows."

What you'll do
  • Build with customers. Custom workflows, demo nodes, proof-of-concept pipelines that close deals. When a prospect asks "can Comfy do this?" you have a working answer within days.
  • Run technical discovery on sales calls. Translate customer problems into Comfy solutions in real time. Spot what's possible, what's not, what's worth scoping, and what's a trap.
  • Own the implementation handoff. Once we close, you ride along until the workflow is shipping in production. Not a permanent CSM role, but you don't disappear after the contract is signed.
  • Create content that compounds. Demo videos, workflow recipes, tutorials, community posts. Some of it is sales enablement. Some of it is dev rel. The best of it is both.
  • Be the bridge to engineering and design. Customer feedback lands with you first. You'll work with our PMs and engineers to turn the sharpest signal into roadmap input.

You might be a good fit if
  • You've used ComfyUI seriously. Not "I tried it once." You've built workflows, broken them, fixed them, and shipped output you're proud of. We'll ask to see it.
  • You have creative range across image and video.
  • You can write Python and read other people's code. You don't need to be an engineer. You need to be dangerous enough to build custom nodes and debug other people's workflows.
  • You're a sharp listener, fast learner, calm under pressure, comfortable in front of customers.
  • You move fast and ship. You'd rather show than tell.
  • You hold your own in a room with senior creative directors, ML engineers, and procurement at the same Zoom.

Bonus if you have
  • Experience at a creative agency, studio, or in-house brand team (MediaMonks, R/GA, Active Theory, etc.)
  • A public portfolio, GitHub, or social presence built around AI-generated work.
  • Open-source contributions to ComfyUI or adjacent projects.
  • Prior exposure to B2B SaaS, even informally (founder, early-stage anything, freelance client work).

Not a fit if
  • You're a sales engineer looking for the next sales engineer seat. This role is more creative, more hands-on, and less scripted than that.
  • You want to be a pure builder. Half of this job is in front of customers.
  • You need a manager to tell you what to build next. You'll be expected to read the deal and choose the build.
  • You bristle at direct feedback. Our cycle is fast and our notes are direct.

Applying

Send your resume and a link to a ComfyUI workflow you've built. Tell us what problem it solves and what you'd change about it. If you don't have one, build one and send it.

Location: San Francisco, in-office. Occasional travel (a handful of times per year) for on-site deployment at strategic enterprise accounts.
