Support Projects Where It Matters • Work alongside Creative Leads and the wider team to bring ideas to life., • Step into projects when something needs unblocking or testing., • Help bridge the gap between creative ambition and technical reality. 1. Share What You Learn • Bring others into your thinking and process where useful., • Share tools, techniques and discoveries with the team., • Help raise the overall confidence of the team when working with technology. You should have: • Experience in creative technology, interactive media, or similar fields., • Comfort working with real-time engines such as Unity (or similar)., • Ability to work across different tools, languages or platforms when needed., • A curious, self-driven mindset, motivated by figuring things out., • Comfort working without a clear answer or approach., • A collaborative and open way of working with others. A good fit for this role is someone who: • Likes being given a problem more than a brief, • Enjoys experimenting and building things from scratch, • Doesn’t mind not knowing the answer straight away, • Gets energy from making ideas real What it's like working at CONDUCTR CONDUCTR is proud to be recognised as a Great Place to Work®, officially certified for our outstanding workplace culture and employee satisfaction.
