Summary

Senior Creative Developer / Front-End Team - Animation & 3D Ecom Maven · Remote · Contract or ongoing · Senior level only We're a boutique design and development agency building animation-driven, custom-coded websites for e-commerce, luxury, hospitality, and wellness brands. Our signature is cinematic - scroll-scrubbed video, choreographed motion, and 3D worlds that load fast and feel expensive. We're expanding our development bench and looking for a senior developer (or a tight senior team) who can move quickly without trading away polish. This is not a template-and-plugin role. We hand-build, and we care about every frame. What you'll build High-performance GSAP experiences - ScrollTrigger pinning, stacking, scrubbing, and timeline-based sequences Controlled, scroll-scrubbed animations that stay smooth across devices, including canvas and scroll-driven video 3D mural integration - immersive Spline / Three.js / WebGL scenes embedded cleanly into custom layouts Custom-coded front ends in HTML / CSS / JS, deployed on Netlify, plus work inside Shopify and Webflow when a project calls for it You're a fit if you Have senior-level command of GSAP and ScrollTrigger, not just surface familiarity Can build complex, controlled motion that performs - smooth at 60fps, optimized for paint and layout Write clean, maintainable custom code and don't lean on page builders to do the heavy lifting Have shipped at least a few production sites with scroll-driven or 3D motion (portfolio or reel required) Move fast, communicate clearly, and hit milestones without hand-holding Bonus points Three.js / Spline / WebGL fluency for 3D and interactive scenes Lenis or other smooth-scroll setups Shopify and Webflow custom development An eye for design, not just execution - you notice when an ease curve is off How we work Fast, milestone-driven, and collaborative. Projects move on tight timelines, so we want people who are decisive and self-directed. You'll work directly with our creative lead and project manager, with clear scopes and clean handoffs. Strong work here turns into steady, ongoing engagements. To apply Send your portfolio or reel (we want to see motion - link your live work or a Vimeo / video reel), a short note on the most technically demanding animation or 3D build you've shipped, and your availability and rate.
