[Hiring] Senior Creative Technologist, Experiences @Hyperquake, LLC

Role Description

We are seeking a skilled, well-rounded Senior Creative Technologist to help build our interactive experiences. This is a senior, hands-on role focused on technical execution and craft across a broad range of technologies—real-time graphics, interactive installations, and the software that powers them. You will build immersive and interactive experiences for our high-profile clients across enterprise, public, and cultural spaces, and help mentor more junior technologists along the way.

While this is not primarily a web-development role, web technologies run throughout our work:

• The content management systems that drive our experiences are built on web stacks.
• The on-screen user interfaces within our installations are frequently built with web technologies.

Comfort working in these tools is important, even though the end product is an interactive experience rather than a website. We value versatility—someone comfortable moving between real-time graphics, installations, and the web-based layers that support them—over deep specialization in any single area. Some travel will be required for on-site installation support (roughly 15–20%).

Qualifications

• Proactive, comfortable with ambiguity, and flexible in the face of shifting client needs.
• A passion for technology, culture, and building bespoke brand experiences.
• Agency or design studio experience preferred.
• Full-stack web development experience (e.g., JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Node.js, APIs, and databases) is a great skill to have.
• Familiarity with agent-driven and AI-assisted workflows (e.g., MCP servers, LLM tooling).
• Hands-on experience with XR/spatial computing technologies and deployment.
• Understanding of deployment pipelines and version control (Git).
• Experience with back-end technologies (e.g., Django, Node.js).
• Comfort with physical computing (Arduino, sensors, projection mapping) is a plus.
• Ability to work Eastern time zone hours.

Requirements

• At least 5 years of experience in software-based creative technology, with a strong portfolio showcasing immersive, interactive, and large-scale work.
• Deep production experience in at least 2 of the following: Unity, Unreal Engine, TouchDesigner, Web (e.g., Three.js, WebGL).
• Working knowledge of web technologies (HTML/CSS/JavaScript and a framework such as React) for building UI within experiences and working with web-based CMS platforms.
• A diverse portfolio showcasing hands-on delivery of interactive experiences involving sensor input, data visualization, and real-time graphics.
• Experience mentoring or guiding more junior technologists.
• Comfort working with external contractors, fabricators, and AV vendors on physical installations.
• Proficiency in programming languages such as C#, C++, or JavaScript.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Interactive Media, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).

Benefits

• Application requirements: a PDF of a resume and portfolio highlights (links to live demos, interactive projects, or a code repository are strongly encouraged).
