Creative Technologist, Digital and Design

Creative Technologist, Digital and Design

New York, New York

Who are we?

MATTE is a 360° full-service creative studio at the convergence of hype, storytelling and design. We bring people together to inspire new ways of engaging, to provoke long term progress, and to entertain audiences around the world, while helping forward-thinking brands and institutions nimbly and truly do the same. Our studio capabilities range from strategic ideation and insights, creative development, branding and identity, experiential, web design and development, campaigns and content creation, all the way through full-scale production and execution.

About this role:

MATTE is seeking a Creative Technologist to sit at the intersection of creativity, technology, and production — someone who can build, prototype, and operationalize new ways of working while owning the digital experiences that represent MATTE and our clients. This is a hands-on, forward-looking role for a builder who is as fluent in creative craft as they are in the tools and technologies reshaping how creative work gets made.

At the center of this role is the implementation of AI across the studio. You will center the evaluation and rollout of AI-enabled workflows — identifying where emerging tools can accelerate and elevate our output, then building the systems, prompts, and processes that make them a practical, dependable part of how the team works every day. Just as importantly, you will push MATTE’s creative and technical ambitions forward, prototyping new ideas and translating experimentation into shipped, real-world work.

Alongside this, you will own MATTE’s website and oversee our client-facing digital build projects — from concept and design through development and launch — ensuring everything meets MATTE’s standard for craft and performs flawlessly across platforms.

The ideal candidate is equally comfortable in Figma and in code, energized by new technology, and rigorous about turning experimentation into scalable practice. They are curious, resourceful, and excited to help define what creative technology looks like inside a studio still writing its own playbook.

• Support the evaluation, implementation, and rollout of AI-enabled tools and workflows across creative, production, and operational teams.
• Identify high-impact opportunities where AI can accelerate ideation, asset creation, iteration, and delivery — and build the processes to capture them.
• Develop and maintain prompts, templates, custom agents, and integrations that make AI a practical part of everyday creative work.
• Train and support teams in adopting new tools, establishing best practices, guardrails, and quality standards for AI-assisted output.
• Stay ahead of a rapidly evolving AI and creative-technology landscape, continuously testing what’s new and advising leadership on what’s worth adopting.
• Partner with creative and strategy leadership to push MATTE’s work into new technical and experiential territory.
• Rapidly prototype concepts — interactive, generative, web-based, or experiential — to bring ideas to life and pressure-test feasibility.
• Explore emerging platforms, formats, and technologies and translate them into pitch-ready and client-ready ideas.
• Act as a technical creative partner across new business and client projects, helping shape what’s possible.

• Own the ongoing management, maintenance, and evolution of MATTE’s website, including new work, case studies, capabilities, leadership information, and other editorial content.
• Lead client-facing digital build projects from brief through launch — sites, landing pages, microsites, digital toolkits, and interactive experiences.
• Design and produce polished,…
