Contract-12 Months

JD
5 10 years straddling creative production AND technical building. You have shipped both: real creative work (motion, design, video, 3D, photography, brand systems) AND
real technical work (apps, integrations, plugins, automation).
Creative content supply chain fluency. You understand how briefs become assets, how brand systems and design tokens work, how master files become channel variants, how
creative teams hand off through Figma / PSD / INDD to DAM and review-and-approval.
This is the skill we cannot teach and the one we filter hardest for.
Firefly Services + Workflow Builder fluency - or evidence you ramp on a new API surface in days, not months. Adobe ecosystem depth (AEM, Workfront, Frame.io, App
Builder) is a strong plus, as is Figma plugin / API fluency.
Vibe-coding with judgment. You use Cursor / Claude Code / Copilot daily and ship fast.
You also know when AI output is wrong, when error handling is missing, when the prompt needs more context. Production code, not prototype-only.
Extreme ownership and a GSD attitude. When the integration breaks before a CMO demo, you fix it - you don't escalate. You own outcomes end-to-end, from broken auth
to a missed brand-compliance check. You ship ugly first and refuse to let process slow you down.
Extreme customer orientation. You hold the room with CMOs, creative directors, and heads of IT. You hear a customer pain and respond with a credible, impact-focused,
creative solution - not a science experiment. You translate tech to ROI without losing
the engineers in the room.
A great nose for the money. You instinctively connect what you build to business outcomes the customer's exec sponsor cares about - time-to-activation, cost per variant, brand-compliance pass rate, campaign velocity.
A passion for coding and tinkering. A deep interest in generative AI and creative workflows. You explore adjacent orchestration tools - ComfyUI for visual workflow
prototyping, n8n / Zapier / Power Automate for low-code connectors, LangGraph / LangChain for agentic flows - because that's how you stay sharp.
A public portfolio - link or PDF at application. Must show shipped creative work AND shipped technical artifacts. This is a hard requirement; applications without a portfolio will not be reviewed.
