Interactive Developer - Creative & Experiential

TasteMakers is a curated network of designers, creative technologists, and AI-native makers working on projects with leading AI labs, tech companies, and brands. We're on a mission to end AI slop. We're looking for interactive developers who sit right at the intersection of creative design and engineering. You take static designs or high-concept ideas from art directors and turn them into functional, engaging experiences: immersive websites, campaign microsites, WebGL scenes, and motion-rich interactions that perform beautifully on every device. This is a general pool for interactive and creative development experts. Qualified developers are matched to active, paid projects as they open. Remote and async, as an independent contractor. Commitment: 15-40 hours per week. What you'll do: Implement motion and animation: smooth scroll effects, micro-interactions, canvas graphics, and WebGL/Three.js scenes Translate abstract creative ideas into working code, and advise on how to technically execute experimental concepts Optimize for performance: smooth frame rates, fast load times, and cross-browser and mobile responsiveness Connect front-end experiences to CMSs, APIs, and third-party data where needed Required skills: Deep proficiency in HTML5, CSS3, and modern JavaScript (ES6+) Experience with modern front-end frameworks (React, Vue, or Next.js) and creative coding libraries (Three.js, WebGL, GSAP, or similar) A sharp eye for typography, grid, timing, and motion fidelity that matches a high creative bar Experience partnering directly with art directors, creative directors, and designers Ability to turn ambitious creative visions into working code under tight deadlines Familiarity with Git, build tools (Vite, Webpack), and deployment pipelines Bonus: real-time or installation work, shaders, performance optimization, and comfort with AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, or similar)
