Collaborate closely with designers and backend engineers to turn ideas into code-based visual outputs, like animation.
Prototype and test innovative solutions for visualizing audio nuances in real time.
Optimize code for performance, ensuring seamless integration across platforms and devices.

Requirements

What we’re looking for:

A degree in Media Informatics, Communication Design, or equivalent practical experience in visual programming.
Proficiency in creative coding tools and languages (e.g., p5.js, Three.js, Processing, OpenFrameworks, or similar).
A strong understanding of data visualization techniques and user experience design.
The eye and the knowledge for clean type and motion design
A collaborative spirit and openness to working in an interdisciplinary team.

Nice-to-haves (not required):

Experience with sound-reactive generative design.
Experience with building video-platforms and rendering

Benefits

What we offer you:

The opportunity to shape a groundbreaking technology and see your work make an impact in the real world.
A dynamic and supportive startup environment with room for creativity and growth.
Flat hierarchies and a friendly, inclusive work culture.
Flexible working hours and options for remote work.
A collaborative workspace in the heart of Frankfurt.

At PHONT, we’re pioneering a new era of subtitle technology, combining cutting-edge AI with creative design to help audiences better understand and connect with content.
