- We're looking for freelance Creative Technologists to help push the studio's work forward across a growing range of mediums. You'll work closely with our tech team, tech directors, designers and producers to build interactive experiences, real-time graphics systems, web projects, video games, and physical installations. We often carry projects from inception through completion — prototype, develop, deliver, and support our custom-built technology solutions. The tech team’s work is centered around software but includes hardware integration, travel, client-facing interactions, and being embedded in the larger creative and problem-solving process.
- Software :
- Strong generative / creative coding background - WebGL, Three.js, react-three-fiber, GLSL, or comparable real-time graphics experience
- Experience with TouchDesigner for interactive systems, hardware integration, and high-performance graphics
- Proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript and modern web development (React or similar frameworks)
- Solid backend fundamentals and comfort with REST APIs, content management systems, and cloud services for data-driven applications
- Game development experience via WebGL, Unity, Unreal, or similar
- Media file conversion, optimization, and delivery experience - you understand the formats and constraints of working with a wide variety of media assets (image/video/audio/3d) in interactive contexts
- Source control and deployment fluency: Git, GitHub, basic cloud/server workflows
- A solid grasp of software engineering practices - you think about stability, edge cases, version control, and QA
- A commitment to staying current with modern development tools and workflows, including build tools, AI-assisted coding & agents, and automation
- Working knowledge of current AI tools for creative pipelines: Computer vision, generative media, etc.
- Experience with Windows scripting, tooling, and troubleshooting, as most of our projects run on Windows PCs
- Experience with 3D tools (Blender, Cinema4D, Maya) or motion design (After Effects, Cavalry)
- Hardware :
- Familiarity with physical computing: depth cameras, LIDAR, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, custom electronics, RFID, sensor arrays, computer vision, and novel HCI technologies
- Experience with physical lighting systems - DMX/ArtNet/etc., spatial mapping, electrical systems & power distribution
- Familiarity with AV systems integration and industry standards (projectors, LED walls, sound systems, media servers, etc.)
- Electrical engineering or fabrication fundamentals
- AR/VR/XR or spatial computing project experience
- Growth Areas We're Actively Investing In :
- Unreal Engine / Notch - real-time 3D, XR production, high-resolution environments
- Media server experience (Disguise, Pixera, or similar)
- Deeper electrical & mechanical engineering expertise
- Small-scale fabrication and material prototyping skills
- Design & Quality Mindset: Strong design and craft sensibilities; understands what “ quality” means, both visually and technically.
- Ownership & Accountability: Takes initiative, makes decisions autonomously, estimates and manages work effectively, and advocates for timelines, testing, and quality.
- Communication & Collaboration: Proactively shares progress, flags blockers early, keeps stakeholders informed, and works effectively within cross-functional teams and production pipelines.
- Adaptability & Resilience: Maintains a positive, solutions-oriented attitude while navigating changing scope, creative direction, technical constraints, and tight deadlines across multiple projects.
- Curiosity & Continuous Learning: Demonstrates a genuine passion for learning, experimentation, R&D, prototyping, and exploring new tools and creative technologies.
- We use AI-assisted tools solely to help identify and highlight keywords related to critical design skills and relevant experience within applications. These tools support our recruiting team by improving consistency and efficiency; they do not make hiring decisions. All applications are reviewed by humans, and AI is not used in a discriminatory manner or to evaluate personal characteristics unrelated to job requirements.
