Role Description

We’re looking for an embedded, hands-on Creative Technologist to rapidly turn emerging AI capabilities into compelling, functional experiences.

• Working closely with a multidisciplinary creative team.
• Experiment with new AI model releases and capabilities.
• Move from “what could we do with this?” to working prototypes and demos.
• Use AI-assisted development and rapid prototyping to build engaging experiences.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and able to independently take an idea from early exploration to polished presentation.

Qualifications

• Strong hands-on experience in creative technology, prototyping, creative development, or a similar technical discipline.
• A portfolio demonstrating functional prototypes, interactive experiences, experiments, or other technically driven creative work.
• Meaningful hands-on experience building with Gemini and Google’s AI developer ecosystem.
• Strong familiarity with generative AI, LLMs, multimodal models, APIs, and AI-assisted development workflows.
• An active curiosity about the evolving AI landscape, paired with demonstrated depth in the Gemini ecosystem.
• Strong coding and prototyping skills using modern front-end frameworks and development tools.
• Strong creative instincts and an understanding of what makes a technical demo surprising, useful, entertaining, or worth sharing.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to make technical ideas accessible and exciting to both developer and broader consumer audiences.
• Experience creating developer-facing content, social-first creative, technical tutorials, or open-source projects is a plus.

Requirements

• Rapidly concept, prototype, and ship AI-powered demos tied to emerging models, capabilities, and use cases.
• Stay close to developments in generative AI, quickly exploring new models, APIs, tools, and capabilities.
• Use AI-assisted development, “vibe coding,” and rapid experimentation.
• Build functional prototypes, lightweight apps, interactive experiences, and developer-facing demos.
• Explore emerging AI technologies hands-on and identify creative, unexpected ways to demonstrate their potential.
• Translate experiments into compelling outputs across formats.
• Partner closely with creative, design, engineering, and production teams.
• Iterate quickly based on creative and technical feedback.

Benefits

• The expected contract pay range: $74-109 per hour.
• Contract compensation is determined by location, experience, and skillset.
• Benefits may be available in accordance with applicable law and company policy.
