JOB PURPOSE

This role is part of our Global Studios team. We create emotive yet conversion-focused ideas, products and campaigns at scale and speed. Our specialty is hyper-personalised, digital communications that change perceptions, shape new behaviours, and shift market share for our clients.

We’re looking for a Creative Developer to join a team delivering high-profile digital experiences for one of the biggest technology brands in the world.

This is not a traditional frontend engineering role.

We're looking for someone who lives at the intersection of design, motion, interaction, and engineering. Someone who can take exceptional visual design and bring it to life through animation, storytelling, interactivity, and meticulous frontend craftsmanship.

The ideal candidate is passionate about creating experiences that feel memorable, delightful, and visually polished. They care deeply about UX, UI, motion design, transitions, timing, responsiveness, micro-interactions, and the overall quality of the user experience. They care as much about how an experience feels as how it is built.

You’ll work closely with designers and engineers to build robust, reusable frontend components and experiences using Angular, TypeScript, and modern CSS.

You’ll operate within a structured development environment with established patterns, review processes, and quality standards. The ideal candidate is proactive, highly detail-oriented, comfortable challenging inconsistencies, and confident bridging the gap between design intent and technical implementation.

We are looking for someone capable of building premium digital experiences comparable to the quality commonly seen on Awwwards, FWA, and other leading creative showcases, with exceptional attention to motion, interaction, performance, and visual polish.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

- Build premium interactive digital experiences using Angular, TypeScript, advanced CSS and modern frontend technologies

- Build scalable, reusable components aligned to broader design systems and frontend architecture

- Translate high-fidelity Figma designs into polished, responsive, production-ready experiences

- Create sophisticated motion systems, scripted animations, transitions, and interactive behaviours that elevate the user experience.
