Creative Technologist - Software Engineering

Superside is rethinking how creative work gets done by embedding AI directly into production workflows. We’re hiring a Creative Technologist who is first and foremost a software engineer to build plugins, services, and automation that extend tools like Figma and the Adobe Suite.

In this role, you’ll write production code that integrates AI capabilities into the tools creatives already use, turning complex models and data into reliable, scalable systems that improve speed, quality, and consistency across creative work.

What You'll Do

• Build production-grade software that integrates directly with creative tools (e.g. Figma plugins, Adobe scripts, internal APIs). Develop full-stack solutions that embed AI capabilities (LLMs, generative imagery, automation) into creative workflows.

• Translate customer and consultant requirements into scalable technical implementations.

• Prototype rapidly, then harden successful experiments into reliable, maintainable systems.

• Collaborate closely with AI engineers, consultants, and designers to ensure tools are technically sound and genuinely usable.

• Own technical implementation decisions within projects, balancing speed, quality, and long-term maintainability.

• Contribute to shared patterns, libraries, and approaches that can be reused across AI consulting engagements.

• Champion pragmatic engineering practices, focusing on MVPs that deliver real customer value.

What You'll Need To Succeed

• Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Computer Science or Interactive Media / Computational Design

• 4+ years in a technology development and application role, preferably within a tech-driven creative agency or an innovation-focused company

• Strong foundation in full-stack development with considerable experience

• Proficient in technologies such as Vanilla JS, Python, C#, NodeJS, React, Redux, SASS/CSS, preferably some familiarity with AWS & Snowflake DBs

• Expertise using prototyping tools like Figma/ After Effect and animation libraries such as React Spring or Framer Motion

• Familiarity with implementing LLMs API and generative AI technologies into the full stack workflow, enhancing product functionality and user interaction

• Proven track record of successful projects in technology or creative sectors

• A pragmatic approach to technology development, emphasizing Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) over technical perfection 

• A fail-fast/learn-quickly mentality, with the ability to pivot without attachment to specific technical concepts

• Exceptional problem-solving and analytical skills and the ability to innovate under constraints

• A proactive, execution-driven mindset, capable of leading projects from concept to execution.

• Excellent verbal and written communication, with an ability to articulate complex technical ideas to non-technical stakeholders.
