Job Title: Creative Developer (Real-Time 3D & Interactive)

Location: Lagos (Remote)
Department: Services

Your Team & Your Mission

• Our Creative Studio is the brains and innovation behind every rich media banner that brings campaigns to life. As the team that conceptualizes and builds high‑impact banners for clients, our mission is to craft visually stunning and performance‑driven assets that truly stand out and work.
• This is where strategy meets creativity: by combining data and storytelling, we create banners that capture attention and deliver measurable results—from static visuals to complex interactive rich media formats optimized for client KPIs and user experience. 
• We are looking for a Creative Developer to build high-quality interactive 3D experiences for digital campaigns. This is a developer-first role focused on implementing real-time 3D experiences in the browser. You will be responsible for animation quality, interaction logic, and performance optimization.
• 3D modeling knowledge is required, but modeling will not be the primary focus of the role. We may collaborate with freelance 3D artists for complex assets — your responsibility will be transforming those assets into polished, performant interactive experiences.

What You'll Do

• Develop interactive 3D experiences using Three.js or similar WebGL frameworks
• Design and implement animations, transitions, and interaction logic
• Ensure smooth performance across desktop and mobile devices
• Optimize rendering performance, asset loading, and memory usage
• Work with GLB/glTF assets and adjust materials, lighting, and scene setup as needed
• Collaborate with creative producers and 3D artists to translate concepts into interactive executions
• Contribute to improving internal real-time 3D production workflows

What Will Help You DO It
Core Requirements:

• Strong professional experience with JavaScript (ES6+)
• Hands-on experience with Three.js or similar real-time 3D frameworks
• Experience creating animations using GSAP
• Solid understanding of real-time rendering principles (scene graph, cameras, lighting, materials)
• Strong skills in animation and interactive experience development
• Ability to profile and optimize performance (FPS, memory usage, draw calls)
• Experience working within performance and file size constraints
• Professional working proficiency in English is required

3D / Asset Skills:

• Working knowledge of Blender
• Ability to adjust 3D models, materials, UVs, and basic animations
• Understanding of web asset optimization (polycount, texture size, compression)
• Experience working with GLB / glTF asset pipelines

Nice to Have:

• Experience with React Three Fiber
• Familiarity with GLSL shaders
• Experience in rich media or advertising production
• Understanding of texture compression (KTX2 / Basis)
• Good sense of motion design and interaction quality

What's In It For You

• Flexible work arrangements: Hybrid work models in cities with physical offices, and remote work options everywhere else. With our hybrid model, Eskimians enjoy Work Away Days—up to one month of fully remote work each year—and flexible schedules, typically beginning the day at 9 a.m. locally.
• Professional development opportunities: Grow with programs like Leaders Assembly for managers, mentorship programs for growing talents, regular learning sessions, and access to external consultants. Our internship programs also serve as stepping stones for career starters, often leading to full-time roles within the team.
• Recognition & rewards: Your efforts matter, so we reward contributions with bonus programs and Bonusly, our peer-to-peer recognition system that turns appreciation into points for gifts and vouchers.
• Additional perks: Private health insurance (location-dependent), volunteer days, and team get-togethers both online and in-person to foster meaningful connections in Eskimi.
• Take a day off to celebrate your birthday! Everyone deserves to unwind and enjoy their special day, so we provide an extra day off just for your birthday.
