Creative Technologist / Creative AI Developer

As part of the REWE Atelier team, you develop technical solutions for creative processes supported by AI. You connect design, content and production with software development and integrate generative AI into creative workflows. This full-time position in Köln is initially limited to 12 months.

• You develop technical solutions that bring together creative work, generative AI and software development, and quickly turn creative needs into working technology.
• You design and develop proofs of concept, prototypes, tools, scripts and automations to test new approaches for creative applications in practice.
• You develop and integrate APIs, interfaces and workflows that connect AI services to existing or new creative processes.
• You explore current generative AI models for image and video applications and assess how to use them effectively in creative production workflows.
• You help build a modular technical infrastructure for creative work supported by AI that can grow as needed.
• You work closely with designers, developers, internal stakeholders and technology partners, translating between creative needs and technical implementation.
• You use modern AI coding approaches such as agentic coding and vibe coding, and improve existing solutions through practical, repeated steps.

• Above all, your personality matters: you are curious about new technologies and enjoy trying things yourself and making them work. You take a practical approach, take responsibility and enjoy improving solutions step by step.
• You combine practical development experience with an understanding of creative production processes. This could come from creative technology, creative development, design automation, motion or graphic design, CGI, post-production or content production.
• You have already developed technical solutions for creative applications yourself, such as tools or scripts that automate production steps, interfaces or plugins for creative software, or automated image and video workflows.
• You are confident using Python and/or JavaScript and can connect APIs, process data and link different applications or AI services.
• You have practical experience using generative AI, ideally for images or video. You know current models and tools beyond using them and have explored how to integrate them into workflows or applications.
• You can understand the needs of designers and creative professionals and develop a technical solution. You do not need to build a finished product straight away: you can first test ideas as a proof of concept or prototype and then develop them further.
• You naturally include modern AI coding methods in your experiments. Experience with agentic coding, MCPs or AI coding tools is a plus, but your ability to learn new technologies quickly and judge their practical value matters more to us.
