We bring people together to inspire new ways of engaging, to provoke long term progress, and to entertain audiences around the world, while helping forward-thinking brands and institutions nimbly and truly do the same. Our studio capabilities range from strategic ideation and insights, creative development, branding and identity, experiential, web design and development, campaigns and content creation, all the way through full-scale production and execution.\nAbout this role:\nMATTE is seeking a Creative Technologist to sit at the intersection of creativity, technology, and production - someone who can build, prototype, and operationalize new ways of working while owning the digital experiences that represent MATTE and our clients. This is a hands-on, forward-looking role for a builder who is as fluent in creative craft as they are in the tools and technologies reshaping how creative work gets made.\nAt the center of this role is the implementation of AI across the studio. You will center the evaluation and rollout of AI-enabled workflows - identifying where emerging tools can accelerate and elevate our output, then building the systems, prompts, and processes that make them a practical, dependable part of how the team works every day. Just as importantly, you will push MATTE’s creative and technical ambitions forward, prototyping new ideas and translating experimentation into shipped, real-world work.\nAlongside this, you will own MATTE’s website and oversee our client-facing digital build projects - from concept and design through development and launch - ensuring everything meets MATTE’s standard for craft and performs flawlessly across platforms.\nThe ideal candidate is equally comfortable in Figma and in code, energized by new technology, and rigorous about turning experimentation into scalable practice. They are curious, resourceful, and excited to help define what creative technology looks like inside a studio still writing its own playbook.\nResponsibilities\nAI & Workflow Innovation\nSupport the evaluation, implementation, and rollout of AI-enabled tools and workflows across creative, production, and operational teams.\nIdentify high-impact opportunities where AI can accelerate ideation, asset creation, iteration, and delivery - and build the processes to capture them.\nDevelop and maintain prompts, templates, custom agents, and integrations that make AI a practical part of everyday creative work.\nTrain and support teams in adopting new tools, establishing best practices, guardrails, and quality standards for AI-assisted output.\nStay ahead of a rapidly evolving AI and creative-technology landscape, continuously testing what’s new and advising leadership on what’s worth adopting.\nInnovation & Prototyping\nPartner with creative and strategy leadership to push MATTE’s work into new technical and experiential territory.\nRapidly prototype concepts - interactive, generative, web-based, or experiential - to bring ideas to life and pressure-test feasibility.\nExplore emerging platforms, formats, and technologies and translate them into pitch-ready and client-ready ideas.\nAct as a technical creative partner across new business and client projects, helping shape what’s possible.\nWebsite & Client-Facing Digital Builds\nOwn the ongoing management, maintenance, and evolution of MATTE’s website, including new work, case studies, capabilities, leadership information, and other editorial content.\nLead client-facing digital build projects from brief through launch - sites, landing pages, microsites, digital toolkits, and interactive experiences.\nDesign and produce polished, functional digital experiences, translating creative direction into shipped work.\nBuild in Figma and work alongside (or directly with) developers to bring designs to life, working hands-on in code where needed.\nManage QA across desktop and mobile, ensuring builds are accurate, responsive, performant, and visually consistent.\nMonitor performance and identify opportunities to improve usability, navigation, accessibility, and engagement.\nSystems, Tools & Collaboration\nDevelop and maintain scalable creative systems, templates, and workflows across MATTE’s digital ecosystem.\nMaintain Figma libraries, digital guidelines, templates, and reusable components.\nBuild an organized archive of website assets, case-study materials, project information, and digital brand resources.\nManage relationships with freelance developers, designers, and technical partners when additional support is required.\nImprove how creative assets, tools, and project information move between teams.\nQualifications\n4-6 years of experience in creative technology, digital design and development, interactive production, or a comparable hybrid role.\nA strong portfolio spanning digital design, website or interactive work, and evidence of technical experimentation or innovation.\nHands-on experience implementing AI tools in a creative or production context (e.g., generative image/video, LLM-based workflows, custom agents, or automation).\nAdvanced proficiency in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite.\nWorking knowledge of front-end development and no-code/low-code platforms - HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Webflow, Framer, or similar.\nExperience with content-management systems and managing website content.\nStrong understanding of responsive design, user experience, digital production, and web-development workflows.\nAbility to translate fluidly between creative vision and technical execution, and to collaborate effectively with both designers and developers.\nA builder’s mindset: resourceful, experimental, and able to turn ambiguity into working solutions.\nHighly organized, proactive, and comfortable creating structure where processes may still be developing.\nClear written and verbal communication skills.\nExperience working within a creative agency, design studio, production company, or similarly fast-paced environment is preferred.\nBonus: motion design, creative coding (p5.js, Three.js, WebGL), real-time or generative tools (TouchDesigner, Unreal), APIs, analytics, or SEO.\nCompensation: $110,000-130,000 /year based on relevant experience\nBenefits include:\nMedical, Dental, and Vision coverage\n401k with a 4% company contribution match\nFully covered yearly Citibike membership\nCommuter benefits\nTalkspace membership\nCompetitive PTO package\nEnd of Year Recharge\nSabbatical Program\nEveryone is welcome at MATTE - we’re passionate about building a team that reflects the diversity of our community and creating an environment where our differences are celebrated.
