The Position

We seek a full-time developer with demonstrated programming experience and/or a related CS degree.

The Experience Design Programmer II position will help develop interactive exhibits, educational games, and other applications using a variety of large-scale hardware including large displays and touchscreens, projection & projection mapping, and video/LED walls. Much of this programming is done in Unity, but we use a variety of different tools to develop public installations and exhibitions. In addition, we often use arduinos, kinect sensors, tangible objects, touchless devices, microcontrollers, LED lights, and other IoT devices. The ideal candidate has some experience with the tools that we work with and a strong general programming background. We seek someone who is collaborative and quick to learn and share new techniques and technologies.

This is a full-time, onsite position in Corrales, New Mexico.

We are a fast-paced company with high expectations; we seek someone who is as passionate about the work as we are. Our developers collaborate with the rest of the Creative Services team and our hardware and fabrication groups, so strong writing, communication, and interpersonal skills are required. As a relatively small company (around 45 people) that has a diverse set of projects and unique products, we seek individuals who are flexible and have diverse skill sets.
