Content Producer

At Hey Studios, we are building a hardware and software platform for connected, immersive, and screen-free play. We’re combining high-quality content with connected devices to create experiences that spark curiosity, help kids grow, and bring families closer together.

We believe that the world 5 years from today will look and feel very different from today. We’ll see intelligent devices embedded in our environment, accessed through interfaces that can feel almost human.

We want to make sure that this technology is used for good:
By providing content for children and families that helps them learn and grow.

As a Content Producer, you lead the development of new experiences on our platform end-to-end. You will ideate, test, and direct the creation of content that stimulates children’s imagination and allows families to connect with each other.

You will be working at the boundary of digital and physical experiences, using tangible objects, real-time audio, and dynamic storytelling. You will bring content ideas to life by working cross-functionally with writers, game designers, engineers, and visual and audio designers.

As our first full-time content producer, you will have a major impact on the content we create as a company, which is the primary way users interact with our platform. As an early employee, you will also shape the culture of our team.

We want this role to be the most meaningful role of your career:
You’ll make content that will improve the lives of millions of families around the world. We also want our company to be the place where you do your best work:
With autonomy, curiosity, optimism, and playfulness.
