Creative Developer

Lusion is an award winning creative studio based in Bristol, UK, crafting beautiful, immersive and interactive digital experiences.

Our work sits somewhere between design, technology, storytelling and experimentation. We create immersive websites, interactive visuals, real‑time 3D experiences, prototypes, self‑initiated ideas, AR, VR and the occasional thing that is hard to neatly categorise.

The role:

We are looking for a Creative Developer who enjoys making ambitious digital work. Someone with strong technical foundations, a sharp eye for detail and a real love for the craft. You should enjoy solving tricky problems, working closely with designers and developers, and bringing ideas to life when there is no obvious path already mapped out.

We use AI tools and encourage experimentation, but strong fundamentals are essential. You must be able to write, debug and reason through code yourself without relying on AI. We are looking for someone who uses tools thoughtfully, not someone who needs them to do the thinking.

You should be able to experiment, but also deliver. Someone who can explore new ideas, make smart technical decisions, stay organized, and keep momentum when deadlines are real.

What you will do:

• Work with designers and developers to create engaging interactive experiences
• Build polished, performant front‑end work
• Create real‑time visuals using Three.js, WebGL and GLSL
• Help shape technical approaches from the early stages of a project
• Prototype ideas, test interactions and explore new technologies
• Bring a high level of care, detail and quality to the work
• Contribute ideas throughout the creative process
• Balance experimentation with delivery across multiple projects

What we are looking for:

• At least 2 years of experience
• Strong experience with Three.js, WebGL and GLSL shaders
• Ability to write, debug and understand code without relying on AI
• Confidence creating animation and interaction without relying on frameworks or libraries
• Experience building modern interactive web experiences
• Strong problem solving skills
• Good taste, attention to detail and care for quality
• Comfortable working with designers, developers and other creative people
• Able to manage your own workload and deliver against deadlines
• Kind, thoughtful and easy to work with

Nice to have

• Experience with WebGPU
• Interest in motion, interaction design, generative visuals or real‑time graphics
• Experience with React, R3F, GSAP, CMS platforms or build tools
• Curiosity around AI, creative tooling and emerging technologies
• Experience with AR, VR or physical installations

The vibe

We are a small studio, so attitude matters.

We care about craft, curiosity, honesty and good communication. We like people who are proactive, open minded, calm under pressure, and happy to get stuck into weird creative problems.

No big egos. Just good people making good work together.

How to apply

Send us your CV, portfolio, GitHub or anything else that shows us what you have made and how you think.

We would especially love to see work that includes interactive visuals, WebGL, shaders, real‑time graphics or experimental front‑end projects.

Direct applicants only, please. We are not working with recruiters for this role.
