About The Position

IMDb Creative Studio is seeking a Design Technologist who operates at the intersection of design craft and technical execution. This role is not a pure engineering role, but rather for an individual who thinks visually, builds fluently, and moves seamlessly between Figma and code. The Design Technologist will lead the technical execution of complex advertising campaigns and define how AI tools and workflows integrate into the creative practice, aiming to accelerate execution, reduce rote work, and unlock creative possibilities. This is a senior individual contributor role requiring deep expertise in both front-end development and design sensibility. Experience in digital advertising, agency, or studio settings at scale is highly valued. This role is onsite in Los Angeles, CA.

Requirements

• 2+ years of front-end technologist, engineer, or UX prototyper experience
• Have an available online portfolio
• Have coding samples in front end programming languages
• Experience with web, mobile web, or mobile app front-end development
• Experience with UI design for complex workflows and for end users

Nice To Haves

• Knowledge of technologies such as JavaScript/NodeJS, HTML/CSS, Responsive/Adaptive Design
• Knowledge of Python, Javascript, and source control (Git)

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end technical execution of high-impact advertising campaigns across web, mobile, and app.
• Architect and build high-fidelity, responsive prototypes that reflect strong design sensibility as much as technical precision — setting the quality bar for the team.
• Translate design intent into pixel-perfect, production-ready experiences — maintaining visual fidelity from concept through delivery.
• Identify opportunities to productize recurring creative patterns, reducing build time and increasing consistency.
• Lead evaluation, integration, and operationalization of AI tools into the creative production workflow — from generative models to LLM-assisted development.
• Partner with design, strategy, and engineering teams to identify where AI can reduce manual effort and accelerate time-to-market.
• Drive technical scoping conversations with designers, campaign managers, and senior stakeholders.
• Mentor junior and mid-level Design Technologists, elevating the overall craft of the team.
