Full Time: Creative Developer / Senior Consultant, Creative Technology at Text100 in New York, NY

Text100 is a global communications agency based in New York. So… why do we need a creative developer? Good question. Here's the skinny: reaching people through press releases and social posts isn't enough. We need websites, apps, chatbots, Alexa skills, VR games… and more.

Do you need to know how to build all of those things? No. But you should have a broad range of development skills, play well with designers and other creatives and be able to accompany a non-technical account team in dreaming up the Next Big Thing™.

This role is within the Creative Technology team, where you'll work alongside writers, illustrators and designers. You'll also work with other developers and sysadmins in different Text100 offices around the world.

We're a passionate and award-winning team. We value creativity as well as accountability, which means you'll need passion as well as drive to match your development chops.

Sound good? Great! Check the detailed requirements below and, if this sounds like you, we'd love to talk!
