Brainlabs is looking for a Junior Web Developer to join our Creative Studio team. As a Specialist, you will be a core technical anchor responsible for creating thoughtfully designed, technically robust, cross-platform digital display advertisements with advanced interactive capabilities. You will work to ensure the final product meets client expectations while adhering to industry standards and guidelines. In this role, you will directly support the Creative Studio team in fulfilling innovative production projects across our associated accounts, while maintaining an eye toward efficiency, automation, and expanding our digital ad products.
WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING
Reporting to the Associate Director, Creative & Technical Solutions, you will be responsible for a variety of tasks that are critical to the delivery of an exceptional service experience and a successful end-product:
- Responsible for front-end and back-end development of complex, interactive HTML5 advertisements.
- Participate in translating advertisement requirements into functional specifications/wireframes that are intuitive in their design and adaptable to clients' changing needs.
- Translate conceptual advanced API integrations and HTML5/CSS/JavaScript elements into working interactive components.
- Support the Creative Studio team in ongoing feature ideation, new product development, enhancements, and code maintenance.

- Develop automation processes and test scripts that accelerate process improvements.
- Generate deliverables with high accuracy under tight timelines while being sufficiently organized to manage multiple divergent priorities.
- Share technical knowledge across the Creative Studio and broader internal teams, helping non-developers understand what's possible and why it matters.
- Maintain clear, up-to-date project documentation in Notion so that technical decisions, build specs, and process notes are accessible to the wider team.
- You're a programmer first, with a genuine eye for design.
- You are a natural problem solver, open to exploring new tech and modern development tools to build smarter and faster.
- You're forward-thinking: you anticipate where a project's technical requirements are heading and build for that, not just for what's in front of you today.

- The ability to quickly learn new technical systems and make them work for you.

- Impeccable organizational and time-management skills.
- AI-Assisted Efficiency: Experience using LLMs as an interactive coding partner (i.e. "vibe-coding" with Claude to rapidly scaffold templates, troubleshoot, or brainstorm code structures). You don't need to be an AI expert, just someone who knows how to use it to boost your output!
