Description

• Amazon AI Studios is building Nara, the AI-native production platform. Nara gives creative teams a single environment for ideation, asset generation, pipeline orchestration, and project management, with deep integrations into the professional tools creators already use. Productions across Live Action, Animation, and franchise work run on Nara today. The reasoning and generation models behind Nara's agent and creative tools are trained and served on CreativeFlux, a multi-tenant ML platform. We are hiring a founding Software Development Manager to build and lead the CreativeFlux team within AI Studios Engineering. The team owns the training and inference fabric that backs every model AI Studios trains and serves. Model teams use CreativeFlux to launch distributed training jobs, serve production inference, and manage the lifecycle of their workloads through a single control plane. The work spans the training plane, the inference plane, and the multi-tenant primitives that hold them together. The team owns architecture decisions for these layers and partners with the model teams who consume them. As more model teams onboard, the team will define how the platform evolves to meet new workload patterns. The reliability of the platform determines how fast every model team in AI Studios can ship.
