What are the responsibilities and job description for the Freelance WebAR Engineer position at ROSE?
ROSE is an award-winning digital innovation agency focused on helping leading brands leverage cutting-edge technology to innovate and delight their customers. As one of the INC 500 fastest-growing private companies and the fastest growing black-owned digital agency in the US we pride ourselves on the quality of our work and partnerships with our clients. We specialize in immersive technology (AR / VR) and technical partnerships leveraging web, mobile and back end development.
We've used WebAR to launch a new shoe line for Adidas for over 110m viewers, rebuilt the technology powering the New York Lottery, helped Patrón bring gifting into the metaverse and did our part to rewild the world with Leonardo DiCaprio and Re : wild. In so doing, the team has won multiple Webby and Shorty awards, been featured in Vogue, WWD, and Harpers Bazaar, and more importantly, had fun doing it.
While this position is for someone who is an experienced developer, we are looking for people who are excited about opportunities to grow their skillset. This role requires experience with WebAR and specifically 8th Wall. Bonus points for experience with building Snap Lenses and TikTok Effects.
