Studio Name: Studio Pancho
Job opening: Compositor (Mid/Senior) – Nuke + ComfyUI
Job Location: Collingwood, Melbourne, Australia (On-site)
Employment Type: Part-Time to start (Opportunity to grow into Full-Time)
Core Focus: Blending live-action, CGI, and motion graphics while developing and pushing forward a node-based ComfyUI and Nuke compositing pipeline
Key Requirements: Permanent Australian working rights (No sponsorship), strong Nuke compositing skills, hands-on experience building ComfyUI node-based workflows, and immediate availability
Studio Pancho is expanding its visual production pipeline in Melbourne and launching immediate recruitment for a Mid to Senior Level Compositor specializing in Nuke and ComfyUI. Located on-site in Collingwood, this role is tailored for innovative digital artists who are as comfortable building advanced ComfyUI node workflows as they are executing high-end shot finaling in Nuke. If you possess permanent Australian working rights and are excited to help actively shape how generative AI systems integrate directly into a modern, broadcast-ready compositing environment, this position offers an exceptional studio platform.
At Studio Pancho, AI is integrated right into our core architecture. Selected compositors will manage projects across a diverse mix of broadcast, premium brand, product, and film campaigns. The studio environment prioritizes problem-solving, structural experimentation, and finding smarter ways to optimize high-fidelity visual output, making this an ideal space for collaborative creators who view generative systems as a true craft extension rather than a shortcut.
What You’ll Do (Responsibilities)
The compositing specialist will drive hybrid visual effects assets across multiple media layouts:
- Shot Compositing & Finishing: Blend complex live-action plates, CGI elements, and motion graphics smoothly, maintaining an exceptional eye for detail, color matching, and premium integration.
- Pipeline Automation: Design, test, and iterate on node-based ComfyUI structures to actively scale up and advance the studio’s production workflows.
- Project & Client Management: Confidently handle multiple fast-paced project tracks, meet strict scheduling deadlines, and directly present look development progress to clients when required.
Required Software Knowledge & Skills
Candidates applying for this Melbourne-based position must demonstrate strong technical mastery across these toolsets:
- Core Composite Tool: High-end, proven production experience executing shot tracking, keying, and layering within Nuke.
- AI Node Architectures: Strong hands-on proficiency building pipelines, custom nodes, tools, or advanced automated experiments inside ComfyUI.
- Bonus Proficiencies: Functional operational knowledge or secondary line exposure to Unreal Engine, Houdini, Fusion, or After Effects is a major plus.
- Strict Work Parameter: Applicants must already possess permanent Australian working rights. Overseas applications and visa sponsorship requests will not be evaluated.
How to Apply
Please double-check that your submission package includes your active reel along with a brief description detailing exactly how you build and implement ComfyUI or AI systems in your personal workflow. Visual examples of custom nodes, pipeline tools, or specialized logic setups are highly valued.
