Job description

Here, engineering isn't an add-on — it's craft. We build brands and design systems that work everywhere, for everyone, and we think carefully about how.

We're not chasing hype. We think AI is becoming invisible infrastructure, and that most systems will drift towards \"average\" unless someone pushes back. Our bet is conviction over efficiency — if that sounds like your kind of team, read on.

Who we're looking for

Someone with a sharp eye for design who also knows their way around well-crafted code. You notice when something's a little bit off, and you know how to fix it. You prototype, test, and iterate — working hand-in-hand with designers, strategists and creative directors to bring early ideas to life.

You're proactive and genuinely curious. You don't wait to be told what to build — you explore, make things, and share what you learn. You've got a portfolio that shows real design sensibility alongside solid technical chops.

What you'll actually do

• Turn rough concepts into polished, interactive prototypes
• Work alongside designers and strategists from day one — not just build what you're handed
• Dig into emerging tech (especially generative AI, creative coding, new interfaces) and find genuinely useful applications for brand work
• Build tools and experiments that help our teams work differently — prototypes, interactive brand behaviours, generative design systems, internal tools
• Help grow this capability across the studio — share what you find, make new tech feel accessible to everyone

You’ll be a great fit if you...

Combine creative instinct with technical ability. You're as happy prototyping in code as you are sitting with a designer poking at an unfinished idea. You're curious about technology, but never for its own sake — you know exactly when it makes an idea more distinctive, more useful, or genuinely surprising.
