DIVE INTO MOMENT FACTORY'S UNIVERSE

We come from many different places, but what unites us is our passion. At Moment Factory, each new project is a blank page awaiting the creativity and talent of our whole team, no matter the individual responsibilities, roles, or fields. Our desire to innovate, to take risks, and to learn from our mistakes and from each other is what allows us to create collective projects that go above and beyond. Today, thanks to a team of 450 creative minds, we have been able to create immersive multimedia environments for artists, museums, airports, brands, theme parks and events, as well as our signature shows. No matter the canvas - be it film, lighting, multimedia architecture, sound design, special effects, or interactive projects - the thirst for experimentation and innovation is at the core of our DNA.

YOUR TEAM

You are the technical lead for the implementation, automation, and sustainability of hybrid infrastructure and pipelines at Moment Factory.

During the production launch and operational maintenance of hybrid platforms, you will be in charge of requirement gathering, working with the architect, and then integrating, automating (IaC), and configuring high-performance, secure, and highly available environments.
