Tandem Talent is partnering with an innovative, globally active creative technology company to recruit a Senior Interactive Experience Developer / Creative Coder . This role is ideal for a developer who enjoys combining strong programming skills with creativity to build immersive digital experiences that exist beyond traditional screens.

You will collaborate with designers, UX strategists, and fellow developers to create interactive environments used in corporate spaces, museums, universities, sports venues, and cultural institutions worldwide. The work focuses on developing experiences that blend digital and physical environments through interactive displays, sensing technologies, and responsive systems.

This is an opportunity to work with advanced technology while helping bring ambitious creative concepts to life in real-world environments.

The Role

As a Senior Interactive Experience Developer, you will play a key role in designing and building innovative front-end and interactive systems. You will work closely with multidisciplinary teams to develop engaging experiences, prototype new ideas, and help shape technical best practices.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Leading front-end development for client projects and internal innovation initiatives
  • Experimenting with emerging technologies and frameworks to create new digital experiences
  • Defining and maintaining coding standards and development best practices
  • Mentoring junior developers and supporting collaborative problem-solving
  • Conducting project reviews to ensure technical performance and creative quality
  • Producing documentation that supports both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Working within development tools including Atlassian, GitHub, MS Teams, Visual Studio, and Figma
  • Supporting installations and client projects, including occasional travel for site visits (approximately 2–3 per year)

What We’re Looking For

The ideal candidate combines strong programming capability with an interest in creative technology and immersive environments.

Required experience:

  • Strong programming foundation with experience in creative coding and visual development
  • Experience with digital creation platforms such as TouchDesigner, Notch, Pixera, Unreal, or Unity
  • Programming experience with languages and APIs including Qt/QML, JavaScript (Three.js, WebGL, Canvas), Python, or Unreal Blueprint/C++
  • Strong browser-based development experience, particularly building creative in-browser experiences
  • Portfolio demonstrating engaging digital work beyond standard web applications
  • Graphics programming experience using OpenGL/GLSL, Vulkan, or DirectX and understanding of the graphics pipeline
  • Experience using Git/GitHub for collaborative development
  • Experience designing touch interfaces or other natural user interaction systems
  • Ability to rapidly prototype concepts and develop them into production-ready code
  • Understanding of UX principles and how technical decisions influence user experience
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills across technical and non-technical teams
  • Curiosity, creativity, and enthusiasm for exploring new technologies

Desirable experience:

  • Experience working with interactive hardware, sensors, or immersive technologies.

The Opportunity

This position offers the chance to work on highly creative and technically challenging projects that reach audiences globally. Developers in this team build experiences that appear on interactive display walls, projection-mapped environments, and sensor-driven installations that respond to people and environments in real time.

You will be working within a collaborative, multidisciplinary team where ideas are encouraged and technical experimentation is part of the culture.

Location

Hybrid role based in Portland, Oregon , with three days per week in the office.
