* Showcase AI‑assisted pipelines, demonstrating techniques and best practices.
* Collaborate with Product, Engineering, and UX/UI to evolve Layer’s tools, setting a high bar for professional AI game art software.
* Build documentation, tutorials, and internal showcases to support the team.

* Proven record as an Art Director, Lead Artist, or Game Art Supervisor with multiple shipped titles across varied game types.
* Strong hands‑on art skills (2D, 3D, concept, environment, character, lighting, animation, composition, video).
* Deep familiarity with AI tools and workflows (ComfyUI, Flux, Veo3, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, Runway, etc.).
