As a (Senior) Creative Technologist (Full Stack), you will drive our team’s mission to deliver innovative and world-class digital experiences. You will focus on building our in-house production capabilities for immersive and interactive experiences, through software development, technical architecture, and off‑shoring initiatives. Over time, you will be given the opportunity to grow into a technical lead role, guiding our technical roadmap and mentoring junior staff.

A Day in the Life:

1. Production & Technical Expertise

  • Develop and deliver high-quality software solutions for interactive experiences: touchscreen interactives, real-time visualizations, content management systems, web applications, phygital installations, multimedia experiences, and more.
  • Propose end-to-end technical approaches—software, hardware, and networking architectures—to support immersive and interactive installations.
  • Build and host simple full-stack web and interactive applications for client projects.
  • Configure and manage network infrastructures supporting installations and digital experiences.
  • Maintain a centralized code repository and module library to standardize production and improve efficiency.
  • Oversee hardware system design, including audio-visual, lighting, sensors, and mechanical components (or at least help to oversee and orchestrate technical partners in charge of these components).
  • Produce detailed technical specifications and manage external interactive suppliers as needed.

2. Innovation & R&D

  • Create proof-of-concept demos showcasing new technology (e.g., generative AI workflow design, LLMs, Comfy UI, third-party API integration).
  • Experiment with emerging tools and integrate them into project pipelines to enhance creative possibilities.
  • Contribute to development and launch of new digital products, documenting case studies that highlight innovation.
  • Identify opportunities to leverage technology for new services and business leads.

3. Team Collaboration & Knowledge Sharing

  • Assist in recruiting, onboarding, and mentoring technical staff.
  • Document and standardize workflows, tools, and best practices for in-house production tasks.
  • Collaborate closely with designers, producers, and partners to align technical solutions with creative vision.
  • Support cross-team proposals by providing technical rationale, estimated scopes, and high-level architecture.

4: Increase In-house Production Capabilities

  • Grow the portion of production budget kept in-house.
  • Establish a strategy for production components to achieve targeted production profit from in-house tasks.
  • Implement a cost-tracking system to monitor in-house vs. outsourced production costs.

5: Build & Optimize Internal Production Capacity

  • Recruit and onboard new technical staff.
  • Develop, document, and train teams on standardized workflows for touchscreen and visualization interactives.
  • Establish a centralized code repository and module library.
  • Demonstrate measurable improvement in production efficiency through standardized processes.

6: Drive Innovation & Quality in Digital Experiences

  • Launch innovative digital products with case studies.
  • Generate new paid projects from inquiries on innovation.
  • Achieve recognition for technical innovation in a digital experience.

What We Are Looking For:

  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in computer science or related field, or equivalent self-taught coding expertise.
  • Experience: 5+ years in software development or technical production, ideally in creative-tech or interactive media.
