Requirements

The ideal candidate should possess strong creative instincts combined with deep technical capabilities. They should be comfortable discussing brand strategy and have experience with creative coding and generative design systems.

Job Description

This global brand and digital agency help ambitious companies create brands that shape categories and drive meaningful change. They believe the most impactful brands are built at the intersection of strategy, creativity and technology. As technology rapidly transforms how brands are conceived, experienced and scaled, they’re looking for a Design Engineer to help define what the future of brand creation looks like.


You'll work at the forefront of creative technology, embedding code, AI and generative thinking into the brand creation process from the earliest stages of a project.


The Role

Sitting in the Brand team, you’ll bridge creativity and engineering, helping the studio explore new ways of creating, expressing and scaling brands. This is not a traditional digital production role. Instead, you'll work alongside strategists, designers, writers and creative leaders from day one, helping shape concepts, systems and experiences that push brand creation forward.


You'll bring emerging technologies into the heart of our creative process, developing prototypes, tools, systems and experiences that create genuine commercial value for clients. You'll help move beyond technology for technology's sake, demonstrating how engineering can strengthen brand strategy, unlock new creative possibilities and build long-term business impact.


  • Shape the Future of Brand Creation
  • Embed creative coding, AI and generative technologies into the brand creation process from concept through delivery.
  • Partner with strategy, design and creative leadership teams to explore new opportunities for technology-led brand thinking.
  • Develop innovative approaches to identity systems, visual languages, brand behaviours and interactive brand experiences.
  • Prototype, test and evolve ideas that help redefine how brands are built and expressed
  • Run talks, workshops, offsite's and knowledge-sharing initiatives across the business
  • Support pitches and new business opportunities

The Person

You're equally comfortable discussing brand strategy with a Creative Director as you are building a prototype, writing code or exploring a new AI workflow.


You combine strong creative instincts with deep technical capability and are excited by the opportunity to define an emerging discipline within a leading brand agency.


Core skills: Creative coding, generative design systems, AI-assisted creative workflows, interactive experiences, design tooling and automation, Three.js, WebGL or real-time graphics, physical computing, AR, VR or spatial experiences.
