Spotlight on CBP Engineering Teams: Creative Workflows The Media Production Suite (MPS) Creative Workflows team sits at the intersection of filmmaking, largescale distributed systems, and generative AI. We build cloudnative pipelines that transform petabytes of raw camera footage from sets worldwide into secure, highquality, color/sound/framingaccurate deliverables that creatives rely on-typically within hours of shooting (these are the "dailies").

Dailies have traditionally been managed by human operators; we're rethinking that endtoend, using automation and generative AI in every part of the workflow-from intelligent metadata extraction and quality checks to smarter routing, prioritization, and review experiences.
