AI, Content Intelligence Engineer

Company Description

Within Publicis Groupe’s Intelligent Creativity business, we specialize in bringing creative ideas to life, and to consumers.

By combining 100 years of craft excellence with 6,000 experts across 52 locations of the world’s biggest studio network, we leverage the industry’s richest data, through the power of agentic AI, to radically redefine content production with Intelligent Content. We intuitively deliver this through Marcel Make, the world’s first Intelligent Content agent. The result? Predictively performing content that unlocks business growth in unprecedented ways.

No more guesswork. No more waste. Just content that works, working a lot harder.

We are hiring an AI Systems Engineer to architect, build, and productionize AI-powered tools that directly transform how content is created, adapted, and scaled.

This role is focused on engineering working systems, taking concepts from PoC to MVP to production-grade tooling - that integrate into our content supply chain and are actively used by operators.

You will operate inside the Solution organization as a builder, developing modular AI services, experimentation frameworks, and deployable intelligence layers that enhance and evolve production workflows.

Overview

• Build functional AI systems, not theoretical models
• Translate opportunity areas into working prototypes and scalable services
• Develop production-ready tools used by operators to create and optimize content
• Bridge innovation, engineering, and production execution
• Partner with research and analytics teams to translate insights into deployable AI logic

Responsibilities

AI System Design & Engineering

• Design and develop end-to-end AI-powered services for content production workflows
• Build modular components (APIs, services) that integrate with enterprise platforms
• Leverage LLMs, RAG pipelines, diffusion models, and vector databases
• Ensure systems are extensible, reusable, and production-safe
• Build modular, extensible systems using Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform) to enable repeatable environments, scalable architecture, and seamless service integration.

PoC to MVP to Production Delivery

• Rapidly prototype capabilities to validate feasibility
• Evolve prototypes into MVP tools with real operator usage
• Productionize systems with scalability, reliability, and workflow integration

Workflow & Tooling Innovation

• Build AI-assisted generation pipelines and content optimization tools
• Develop reusable, modular capabilities that scale across clients
• Enable self-service and assisted creation models for operators

Intelligence Layer Development

• Engineer systems that convert data and performance signals into actionable inputs (e.g. integrated content recommendation engine)
• Guide content creation, adaptation, and optimization decisions

Integration with Production Ecosystem

• Integrate solutions into production environments including workflow and DAM systems
• Ensure outputs are telemetry-driven, traceable, governed, and compliant across systems and workflows.

Engineering Standards & Governance

• Design and implement CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Git-based workflows) to support automated build, test, and deployment for reliable, continuous delivery.
• Build systems that adhere to secure data handling and enterprise security standards.
• Ensure observability, monitoring, and auditability of systems

Qualifications

• 7–10+ years in software engineering, AI/ML engineering, or related fields
• 2–5+ years' experience in content production-grade software
• Strong Python proficiency and experience with modern AI/ML frameworks
• Experience building and deploying production-grade systems
• Familiarity with LLMs, RAG, generative models, and cloud-native architectures
• Experience with APIs, microservices, and system integration
• Ability to translate complex requirements into scalable engineering solutions
• Strong collaboration skills across technical and non-technical teams

What Success Looks Like

• PoCs consistently evolve into production tools used by operators
• AI-powered systems are embedded into content production workflows
• Capabilities are delivered as reusable, scalable services
• The organization operates as a product-building engine, not just strategy
• AI becomes infrastructure within production, not experimentation

Technical Competencies

• Python, APIs, and modular system architecture (microservices)
• LLMs, advanced prompt engineering system design, and RAG pipelines
• Vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, FAISS) and data modeling (SQL)
• Generative AI systems (diffusion models, ComfyUI) and fine-tuning methods (LoRA)
• Cloud platforms (GCP/AWS), Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform (IaC)
• CI/CD pipelines (Git-based workflows, automated build/test/deploy)
• Workflow orchestration and enterprise integrations (DAM, CMS, Workfront)
• Media processing pipelines (image/video/3D asset handling – e.g. GLB, OBJ, STL, CAD, RAW)
• Telemetry, logging, monitoring, and model evaluation/governance
