We’re looking for a Social Media Effects Developer who blends creative instinct with technical skill and a strong pulse on social media trends. In this project-based, remote role, you’ll collaborate on 3 to 6 engagements throughout 2025, each lasting between 20 to 40 hours.

Job Responsibilities:
  • Collaborate with creative teams to translate design concepts into functional and visually appealing video filters, games and effects.
  • Design, test, and present effects filters for social media based on written or verbal briefs from creative teams, revising based on feedback from editors, motion graphics artists, producers, and/or clients.
  • Troubleshoot and/or report bugs to the product development team.
  • Stay up-to-date with the internal development of the tool by exploring and testing changes, fixes, and new features.
  • Maintain awareness of and experience with major social media platform effects, trends, and styles. 
 Qualifications and Experience:
  • Must have experience creating interactive effects for social media platforms using one or more of the following: Lens Studio, Spark AR, Effect House, or Effect Maker.
  • Background in interactive media, creative technology, or game development.
  • 1+ years experience with scripting languages (JavaScript, Python, VEX) 
  • 1+ years of demonstrable experience coding, problem-solving, and troubleshooting.
  • 1+ years of experience in node-based programming (TouchDesigner, Houdini, Unreal Blueprints, Blender Geometry Nodes, or similar).
  • Portfolio demonstrating mastery of node-based systems, clean logic implementation, interactive effects, AR filters, or game-like experiences, and creative applications of visual scripting tools.
  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team
  • Passion for learning new technologies
