You’re excited about helping create social AR experiences and want to inspire thousands of Snapchat users with your work? Then you’ve come to the right place.
At headraft, you’ll be part of an interdisciplinary team of developers, designers, 3D artists, and digital strategists.

What you can expect:
  • Exciting and diverse projects for national and international clients
  • Comprehensive onboarding and an open feedback culture
  • A clear opportunity to develop your skills and grow professionally
  • A friendly, supportive team atmosphere
  • Flexible working hours – from our office by the Alster or remotely
How you’ll contribute to our team:
  • Supporting the transformation of ideas and storyboards into aesthetic and well-functioning social AR experiences (Snapchat Lenses, Virtual Mirrors, and TikTok effects)
  • Conducting usability testing and evaluations
  • Bringing enthusiasm for digital innovation and emerging technologies
