Job description

About Us

At Sourcing Unicorns, we recruit globally across the creative and experiential industry, always on the lookout for exceptional talent to bring bold ideas to life. For this opportunity, we’re proud to collaborate with the team at BoraBora Studio to find the unicorn — the one who will truly make a difference. Together, we ensure a smooth and human-centered hiring experience that reflects the studio’s vision.

About BoraBora Studio

BoraBora is a forward-thinking creative studio blending technology, design, and immersive storytelling. From real-time experiences to interactive installations, they operate at the intersection of creative aesthetics and high-end technical execution. Their work spans digital content, experiential spaces, virtual production, mixed-reality environments, and innovative brand experiences.

With teams in Barcelona and Cologne, BoraBora thrives on collaboration, experimentation, and building beautiful things with beautiful minds. They’re hands-on, multidisciplinary, and always pushing the boundaries of real-time creative tech.

The Role

BoraBora Studio is on the hunt for a versatile Creative Technologist / Technical Director — someone who thrives in hybrid, multi-disciplinary environments, loves wearing more than one hat, and gets energized by switching from concept to prototype to polished delivery.

This is a role for someone who bridges technical mastery and creative intuition. You’ll collaborate closely with designers, motion artists, and creative directors to build meaningful, real-time experiences while keeping an artistic eye on quality, interaction, and aesthetics.

What You’ll Do

You’ll be the kind of all-rounder who can jump into any part of the pipeline when needed, including:

Creative Technology & Real-Time Development (Core focus – ~80%)

  • Develop interactive and immersive experiences using Unity, Unreal Engine, and TouchDesigner.

  • Translate creative concepts into functioning prototypes and final outputs.

  • Bring strong artistic sensibility to real-time visuals: composition, lighting, animation, look-dev.

  • Support virtual production, VJ workflows, real-time motion graphics, and experiential content.

Technical Direction & Pipeline Support

  • Guide or co-define technical approaches for projects across different teams.

  • Work hands-on with designers, motion artists, and creative leads to ensure feasibility and excellence.

  • Propose smart workflows that integrate creative needs with technical constraints.

Backend / Web (Secondary – ~20%)

  • Support light backend/web tasks or integrations when needed (API work, small tools, etc.).

  • Help connect interactive installations with backend logic or online systems.

Collaboration & Culture

  • Contribute to a team that values openness, creativity, and positive energy.

  • Maintain strong communication across disciplines — design, tech, and creative direction.

  • Work autonomously while being a strong team player (very important for this team!).

Job requirements

You Are…

A mix of hands-on maker and creative thinker with a sharp eye for aesthetics. Someone who loves experimenting, prototyping, and pushing boundaries.

Must-Have Skills

  • Strong experience with Unity and/or Unreal Engine (real-time pipelines).

  • Experience with TouchDesigner or willingness to grow into it fast.

  • A solid sense of creative aesthetics: motion, composition, interactivity, artistic direction.

  • Ability to work hands-on across technical and creative tasks.

  • Experience with virtual production, VJing, interactive content, or immersive installations.

  • Collaborative mindset, open personality, and comfort working in small elite teams.

Nice-to-Haves

  • Backend/web basics (Python, JS, APIs, data handling).

  • Motion design foundations or background in creative coding.

  • Experience with spatial design, experiential environments, or digital art.

  • Knowledge of shaders, real-time lighting, or look-dev.

Who Will Love This Role

  • Creatives who can code, and coders who have taste.

  • People who enjoy shaping ideas from scratch.

  • Those who like boutique studios with high freedom, low bureaucracy, and high expectations.

  • Individuals who want to collaborate with beautiful humans making beautiful things.
