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.

• 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.
