Future Opportunities – Not an Immediate Opening


About ROSE

ROSE is an award-winning digital innovation agency helping leading brands leverage cutting-edge technology to delight their customers. As one of the fastest-growing private companies (INC 500) and the leading Black-owned digital agency in the US, we take pride in our groundbreaking work and partnerships.

Our expertise spans immersive technology (AR/VR), emerging tech, and robust technical development (web, mobile, backend). From launching WebAR for Adidas with 110M+ views to rebuilding the New York Lottery’s tech and innovating in the metaverse with Patrón and Leonardo DiCaprio’s Re:wild, our team delivers high-impact, award-winning results. Featured in Vogue, WWD, and Harper’s Bazaar, we combine innovation with fun to guide impactful brands into the future.

Though we are a remote-first organization, availability for Eastern Time meetings is required.

Responsibilities

  • 3D Asset Development: Create, optimize, and deliver high-quality 3D models and animations tailored for web and mobile, ensuring excellent performance and low file sizes (< 10MB).
  • AR Asset Creation: Design assets specifically for AR platforms such as Snapchat Lenses and WebAR.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with art leadership, engineering, and design teams to define and deliver polished XR models and animations.
  • Environment & Object Optimization: Oversee layout, implementation, and optimization of environments, interactive objects, textures, and shaders.
  • Problem-Solving: Quickly identify and resolve technical challenges in asset creation, collaborating with team members across disciplines.
  • Creative Ideation: Provide input on the best methods for producing 3D assets to achieve various project goals and visual effects.
  • Iterative Workflow: Collaborate, iterate, and refine assets based on team and client feedback.

Requirements

  • 3D Generalist Skills: Proficiency in modeling, texturing, lighting, animation, physics, and particle systems.
  • 3D Software Expertise: Advanced knowledge of Blender, Cinema 4D (C4D), or similar tools capable of exporting .glb files.
  • Optimization: Proven ability to reduce polygon counts and optimize assets for web/mobile platforms.
  • Technical Animation: Experience with motion design, rigging, and creating performant animations for real-time deployment.
  • Pipeline Knowledge: Deep understanding of the full 3D production pipeline, from concept to implementation.
  • Visual Styles: Ability to adapt to a variety of visual aesthetics and project needs.
  • Experience: Familiarity with creating assets for platforms such as Snapchat Lenses and WebAR.
  • Communication Skills: Ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and articulate creative solutions.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience creating assets for Augmented Reality projects
  • Knowledge of Three.js, SceneKit, RealityKit, or ARCore.
  • Understanding of shaders and advanced compositing techniques.
  • Experience generating 3D assets from 2D or video references.
