Nuke Compositor

We are looking for a talented and ambitious Nuke Compositor to join NxGen studio’s growing AI hybrid compositing team.

This role is ideal for a compositor with strong foundational experience in high-end VFX or post-production who is excited by the evolving intersection of traditional compositing and AI-assisted workflows. We are seeking someone with excellent compositing fundamentals, strong creative instincts, and a genuine curiosity for how emerging AI technologies can enhance modern production pipelines.

Working closely with the Lead Compositor, AI Artists and Creative Directors, you will help integrate live-action photography, CG elements, and AI-generated imagery into visually cohesive and production-ready final outputs.

This is a highly collaborative role focused on technical problem-solving, visual consistency, and helping bridge the gap between AI-assisted generation and high-end compositing craft.

NxGen is Sky Creative’s AI-first hybrid studio, built to redefine how creative work is imagined, produced, and delivered. By combining world-class talent with intelligent systems, scalable infrastructure, and agile production models, we enable teams to move faster, collaborate smarter, and unlock greater creative freedom. More than a studio, NxGen represents a new approach to modern content creation — driven by innovation, experimentation, and adaptability.
