Job description

A Day in the Life:

1. Production & Technical Expertise

• Develop and deliver high-quality software solutions for interactive experiences: touchscreen interactives, real-time visualizations, content management systems, web applications, phygital installations, multimedia experiences, and more.
• Propose end-to-end technical approaches—software, hardware, and networking architectures—to support immersive and interactive installations.
• Build and host simple full‑stack web and interactive applications for client projects.
• Configure and manage network infrastructures supporting installations and digital experiences.
• Maintain a centralized code repository and module library to standardize production and improve efficiency.
• Oversee hardware system design, including audio‑visual, lighting, sensors, and mechanical components (or at least help to oversee and orchestrate technical partners in charge of these components).
• Produce detailed technical specifications and manage external interactive suppliers as needed.

2. Innovation & R&D

• Create proof‑of‑concept demos showcasing new technology (e.g., generative AI workflow design, LLMs, Comfy UI, third‑party API integration).
• Experiment with emerging tools and integrate them into project pipelines to enhance creative possibilities.
• Contribute to development and launch of new digital products, documenting case studies that highlight innovation.
• Identify opportunities to leverage technology for new services and business leads.

3. Team Collaboration & Knowledge Sharing

• Assist in recruiting, onboarding, and mentoring technical staff.
• Document and standardize workflows, tools, and best practices for in‑house production tasks.
• Collaborate closely with designers, producers, and partners to align technical solutions with creative vision.
• Support cross‑team proposals by providing technical rationale, estimated scopes, and high‑level architecture.

4: Increase In‑house Production Capabilities

• Grow the portion of production budget kept in-house.
• Establish a strategy for production components to achieve targeted production profit from in‑house tasks.
• Implement a cost‑tracking system to monitor in‑house vs. outsourced production costs.

5: Build & Optimize Internal Production Capacity

• Recruit and onboard new technical staff.
• Develop, document, and train teams on standardized workflows for touchscreen and visualization interactives.
• Establish a centralized code repository and module library.
• Demonstrate measurable improvement in production efficiency through standardized processes.

6: Drive Innovation & Quality in Digital Experiences

• Launch innovative digital products with case studies.
• Generate new paid projects from inquiries on innovation.
• Achieve recognition for technical innovation in a digital experience.

What We Are Looking For:

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in computer science or related field, or equivalent self‑taught coding expertise.
• Experience: 5+ years in software development or technical production, ideally in creative‑tech or interactive media.
• Front‑End Development: Proficient in HTML, JavaScript, CSS, WebGL; experience with React.js and modern frameworks (Vue, etc.).
• Back‑End & Database: Comfortable with Node.js, Python, PHP; experience with SQL and/or NoSQL databases.
• Version Control: Familiar with Git workflows and maintaining code repositories.
• Hardware Integration: Understanding of AV, lighting, electronics, and mechanical components.
• Infrastructure: Able to configure and manage networks for interactive installations e.g. experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) for hosting interactive applications.
• Code Quality: Writes clean, efficient, and well‑documented code.
• Eligibility: Must be legally able to work in Singapore.
