Junior AI Concept Designer

Summary:

Ship small, useful tools fast — using AI as your primary coding partner — to help Angel attract and serve the next wave of filmmakers.

Expectations at Angel Studios:

Amplify light in every action.

As the owner of your outcomes, you are empowered to break down silos and coordinate with any and all people you need in order to reach your goals.

You are ultimately responsible for achieving the outcomes while also using resources wisely - whether that be money, people, or time.

Know your customer - it might be our viewers, investors, creators, or internal Angel Teams. Ensure you understand your customer and are providing what THEY need and not just what you want to build.

Create opportunities for team members to take initiative and ownership.

Give consistent and timely candid feedback with compassion - your team members need to know where they stand at all times. If you find yourself doubting a team member, address it swiftly with actionable feedback.

Contributes in a way that moves the Angel mission forward and exemplifies the team qualities required for working n faced with roadblocks, mistakes or unforeseen circumstances, consistently and proactively find creative solutions and/or break down barriers to handle the challenge or complication. (Focus is on creating/building/testing/learning/resolution rather than getting stuck and identifying or placing blame).What You’ll Build:

Script Read tool — let filmmakers submit scripts for structured AI feedback and human reviewer routing

Trailer Tester — capture audience reactions to trailers and surface signal back to filmmakers

Screener portal — secure, time-boxed screening links with viewer feedback capture

Pilot testing tools — quick-turn experiments to validate concepts before larger investment

Other filmmaker-facing prototypes as opportunities surface

Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform these essential functions.
