Location: London, SW11 8BZ (Hybrid – 3 days per week onsite)
Duration: 6 months contract initially
Summary:
- Positioned at the intersection of design, entertainment and technology, our team is comprised of many different backgrounds, experiences and interests.
- We are a small, hands-on group building tools that streamline processes across multiple lines of business, where creative production meets software engineering.
- We care as much about craft as we do about shipping reliably.
Scope of the Assignment:
- You will build and improve a suite of native macOS applications used in design production.
- Work is scoped at the start and wraps up with a shipped build, checked through the team's usual build, signing, release, and testing steps.
- You will also work on maintenance, defect resolution, refactoring, and rebuilds required in the life cycle of the projects.
- Your work spans native macOS tooling, Adobe design software, and Python file-processing scripts.
- You will prototype new approaches within this stack as they emerge, testing each one against a real production need rather than exploring it in the abstract.
- You will also build automation and integrations from production requirements gathered from content design stakeholders, turning what's needed into tools that hold up in daily use.
- Each piece of work is scoped and delivered on its own, with revisions folded into the work cycle.
Minimum Qualifications:
- Strong Swift experience building and shipping native macOS applications.
- Experience with the Xcode build and release lifecycle.
- Experience processing, exporting, or otherwise manipulating video or images programmatically (e.g. AVFoundation, Core Image).
- Experience with SwiftUI and modern Swift concurrency (async/await).
- An innovative, open-minded approach to problem-solving — genuine curiosity about new technology and how it can reshape existing workflows, and comfort bringing new tools into daily practice as they emerge.
- Expertise with Git for version control and collaborative development.
- Strong communication skills, with the ability to work directly with non-engineering creative stakeholders.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience working within Adobe Creative Cloud applications, including automating them.
- Familiarity with Python for broader automation and file processing.
- Experience with macOS auto-update frameworks.
- Familiarity with Apple's Human Interface Guidelines for macOS.
- Experience building tools for a creative, media, or design production team.
Education & Experience:
- Bachelor's Degree or equivalent experience preferred.
