As the leading design-build company for interactive museum, zoo and entertainment exhibitions and attractions in North America, Roto is delivering exceptional interactive media experiences based on cutting-edge technologies for some of the world’s top institutions and brands. In 2022, Roto will be adding its own major business venture to the premium media projects we are currently creating from scratch for clients. As our exceptionally talented interactive media team—all trained in AAA game development based in Unity and Unreal—grows in scale and ambition, we are seeking a new Lead Producer to help create this amazing future along with us.
Experience in museums and attractions is not necessary, just fluency in inventive, rich, high-fidelity real time software applications that push the boundaries of interactivity and art. We are seeking candidates with intense personal conviction to create deeply moving, meaningful human connections with technology, collaborating with our architects, designers, custom hardware engineers, IT specialists, and builders to create unique interactions nobody has seen before.
The Lead Producer is a Principal-level position within Roto, serving as a member of management, and representing the collaboration needs and interfaces of the immersive media software team.
There are no companies quite like Roto, and no interactive place-making projects quite like what we are envisioning for the future. Check out the full breadth of our work at roto.com and a few examples of recent media projects here: roto immersive media.
