Founding Customer Success Manager

Comfy is the open, modular platform powering the next generation of visual AI workflows. We’re hiring a Founding CSM who wants real ownership, real impact, and a front-row seat to building something from zero to one.

This isn't a traditional CSM role at a late-stage company with playbooks and polished processes. You'll be defining what customer success looks like at Comfy: which customers get white-glove treatment, what the onboarding motion looks like, how we measure health, and how we scale. You'll work directly with founders, product, and engineering to ensure our most strategic users: studios, enterprises, and AI-native teams. succeed wildly with ComfyUI.

You're a fit if you're equal parts technical translator, strategic advisor, and builder. If you thrive in ambiguity and want to set the standard, not follow one - this is the one for you.

What You’ll Do

• Become deeply fluent in ComfyUI workflows, the node ecosystem, custom nodes, and how creative teams actually build pipelines. The goal is to know the product well enough that customers feel they have an expert in their corner, not just a point of contact

• Stay genuinely curious about the space; follow model releases, tinker with new workflows and tooling, and get excited when customers push the platform somewhere new - this role rewards people who treat learning the product as part of the job, not a box to check

• Own the Customer Relationship End-to-End - run onboarding, drive adoption, and ensure customers are extracting real value from ComfyUI

• Build and execute account plans that identify risk, surface growth opportunities, and drive account success strategy

• Run enablement sessions, workshops, and deep-dives on ComfyUI best practices for everything from image generation to video and 3D pipelines

• Represent customer needs in product roadmap discussions. You'll have real influence over what we build

• Build the CS Program from the Ground Up

• Define the playbooks, processes, and tooling that will scale with us - from onboarding to renewal and expansion

• Help establish our health scoring framework, success metrics, and churn forecasting models

• As the team grows, help interview, onboard, and ramp new CS hires; be a standard-setter for the function

Who You Are

• 5-8 years in Customer Success or similar customer-facing role at a technical SaaS or developer tools company

• You're comfortable in a conversation with a VFX supervisor, a game studio pipeline TD, or a CTO - you can hold your own technically and earn trust fast

• You have genuine curiosity for how AI systems work. You don't need to write code, but you should want to understand how models, pipelines, and APIs fit together

• You've operated with high autonomy: owned a portfolio; made hard calls on escalations; built process where none existed

• You've worked at a company going through hypergrowth or early stage where the playbook was yours to write

• You communicate with clarity and directness. No fluff, no over-promising. You say what you mean.

• Bonus: hands-on experience with ComfyUI, Stable Diffusion, or generative AI workflows

• Bonus: background in creative industries - media, gaming, VFX, advertising, or film production

You Are Not A Fit If

• You need a full playbook handed to you. We're building ours together.

• You want a manager checking in regularly. We trust people to own their work and figure things out.

• You see CS as a support function, not a revenue and growth function.

• You're not excited by technical products or the generative AI space. Curiosity is a must here.

• You prefer waiting until you have all the information before acting. We move fast on incomplete data.

ComfyUI is the world’s leading visual AI platform — an open, modular system where anyone can build, customize, and automate AI workflows with precision and full control.

Unlike most AI tools that hide their inner workings behind a simple prompt box, ComfyUI gives professionals the freedom to design their own pipelines — connecting models, tools, and logic visually like building blocks.

It’s used by artists, filmmakers, video game creators, designers, researchers, VFX houses, and among others, teams at OpenAI, Netflix, Amazon Studios, Ubisoft, EA, and Tencent — all who want to go beyond presets and truly shape how AI creates.

ComfyUI empowers those who were not trained with the power of the brush to also be a painter, and those who are, to be a maestro.

• Built for users who value transparency and control Infinitely extensible — thousands of community-made nodes and integrations

• Scales from creative experimentation to production automation

• Open-source, used by millions, and backed by one of the most active AI communities online

• Evolving to democratize visual AI creation: empowering everyone from hobbyists to studios, storytellers, and enterprises to be more productive and creative than ever before

ComfyUI isn’t just another AI app. It’s aiming to become the operating system for visual generative AI , the foundation on which the next generation of creative tools are being built.

An creative’s show case of how Comfy is adopted in their work

We are a small, intense, and well-funded team in San Francisco who push ComfyUI and its ecosystem forward. Our team comes from Stability AI and Google and many contributed to the ComfyUI ecosystem way before working here.

Our organization is flat and there is no hierarchy, only categories: dev, arts, prod, ops, etc (and no, there is no one here with the title of Member of Technical Staff, it’s long and silly for a job title).

The only thing that matters is the quality of your cultural fit and execution. We work hard and demand a lot of each other. But we have fun: everyone is here to make something meaningful that will end up being our life’s work. If this mission excites you and you view yourself as a top-tier talent, your future latent self is waiting for you at Comfy.
