What you’ll be doing

As our AI & XR Growth Specialist, you’ll be a key innovator in creating immersive experiences and AI-powered solutions that inspire our clients and help us secure and deliver high-impact projects. You'll:

• Design and develop custom XR applications for platforms such as Quest, PCVR, VisionOS, Mobile, and Web using Unity and related toolkits.
• Build AI-driven applications and integrate machine learning models (e.g., for NLP, computer vision, or predictive analytics) into XR environments or standalone tools.
• Partner with Sales, Client Services, and the CCO to create proof-of-concepts and demos that showcase our XR and AI capabilities in pitches.
• Create compelling multimedia assets, including videos, motion graphics, and animations for pre-sales and marketing efforts.
• Lead the technical and creative delivery of billable client projects from scoping through deployment, ensuring exceptional quality and user experience.
• Manage project lifecycles, including documentation, testing, and optimisation of XR and AI solutions.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with our Creative and Growth teams to ensure visual consistency and alignment with CTI’s technical standards.
• Stay ahead of the curve with trends in AI and XR to continuously improve tools, workflows, and service offerings.

What experience you need to be successful

To thrive in this role, you’ll bring a mix of technical, creative, and strategic expertise:

• Proven experience developing XR applications using Unity, C#, and XR frameworks (e.g., Oculus SDK, OpenXR).
• Hands-on experience with AI tools and frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch), particularly in areas like machine learning, computer vision, or natural language processing.
• Strong portfolio demonstrating immersive XR experiences, 3D assets, and AI integration.
• Advanced skills in video production, motion graphics, and animation using tools like Adobe Premiere and After Effects.
• Experience with VFX design and compositing for immersive or multimedia projects.
• Confidence explaining complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders, particularly in pre-sales settings.
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, 3D modelling tools (e.g., Blender, Maya, ZBrush), and Python-based AI development.
• A creative mindset with a strong grasp of storytelling and interactive media principles.
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills, with experience working across multiple departments and client-facing roles.

We’re challenging the 'Gender Confidence Gap,' which suggests that individuals will only apply for a job if they meet 100% of the criteria. Some of our best hires didn’t check every box in the role description, so if you were about to rule yourself out, we still encourage you to apply!
