Creative Technologist

About The Role

As a Creative Technologist, you will be the bridge between creative vision and technical execution, bringing innovative experiences to life through cutting-edge technology. You ll collaborate with designers, creative directors, and production teams to prototype, develop, and implement interactive installations, digital experiences, and technology-driven brand activations. This role requires someone who is equally comfortable coding and conceptualizing, who can translate abstract creative ideas into functional technical solutions while pushing the boundaries of what s possible with emerging technologies.

• Develop and implement interactive experiences, installations, and digital applications for events, activations, and immersive environments
• Prototype innovative solutions using real-time graphics, sensors, computer vision, projection mapping, AR/VR, and other emerging technologies
• Write clean, efficient, and well-documented code across multiple platforms and languages
• Build custom software solutions, interactive interfaces, and content management systems tailored to project needs
• Troubleshoot technical challenges and devise elegant solutions under tight deadlines
• Stay at the forefront of emerging technologies, platforms, and creative coding techniques

• Actively participate in brainstorms and creative development, contributing technical insights and innovative ideas
• Translate creative concepts into technical specifications and feasibility assessments
• Propose technology-driven solutions that enhance storytelling and audience engagement
• Work closely with designers to understand creative intent and bring their vision to life through technology
• Identify opportunities to leverage technology in unexpected and impactful ways
• Balance creative ambition with technical reality, knowing when to push boundaries and when to recommend alternatives

• Collaborate with production, fabrication, and AV teams to integrate technology seamlessly into physical environments
• Create technical documentation, system diagrams, and specifications for internal teams and vendors
• Manage technology timelines, ensuring deliverables align with overall project schedules
• Conduct on-site technical direction during installations, rehearsals, and live events
• Implement version control, testing protocols, and quality assurance processes
• Work within project budgets, recommending cost-effective technology solutions

• Partner with creative directors and designers to define interaction mechanics and user experiences
• Collaborate with graphics production teams to optimize assets for real-time playback and interactive systems
• Work with external technology vendors, hardware suppliers, and software partners
• Communicate technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders
• Educate creative teams on technical possibilities and constraints
• Support account teams in scoping technology requirements for new projects

• Maintain constant monitoring of emerging technologies, platforms, tools, and creative applications
• Build and maintain an internal library of reusable code, templates, and technical solutions
• Document technical processes and best practices for team reference
• Contribute to the development of technical standards and workflows
• Mentor junior technologists and designers on technical skills and creative coding
• Share knowledge through internal presentations, demos, and workshops

• Strong programming skills in multiple languages (JavaScript, Python, C++, C#, or similar)
• Experience with creative coding frameworks (Processing, open Frameworks, Touch Designer, Unity, Unreal Engine)
• Proficiency in web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, WebGL, Three.js, React)
• Knowledge of real-time graphics, shader programming, and GPU optimization
• Experience with physical computing, sensors, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and hardware integration
• Understanding of networking, protocols (OSC, DMX, MIDI, Artnet), and show control systems
• Familiarity with computer vision, machine learning, and AI tools (Tensor Flow, OpenCV, ML5.js)
• Experience with projection mapping software (Mad Mapper, Resolume, Disguise, or similar)
• Knowledge of AR/VR development (ARKit, ARCore, WebXR, Unity XR)
• Proficiency with version control (Git) and collaborative development workflows

• Understanding of UX/UI principles for physical and digital interfaces
• Strong visual sensibility and ability to work with design teams to achieve aesthetic goals
• Experience creating interactive prototypes and proof-of-concepts
• Ability to translate storyboards and design mockups into functional experiences
• Knowledge of motion graphics, animation principles, and timing
• Understanding of spatial design and how technology integrates into physical environments

• Deep knowledge of interactive installations,…
