Junior Designer

About Teads Studio

Teads Studio is a creative center of excellence focused on empowering global brands by combining data-driven insights with creative innovation. We are seeking a Junior Designer to carry concepts from initial visual design through to production-ready, interactive ad units. This role serves as a vital bridge between design vision and technical execution.

About The Role

• Core Mission: Support the creation and build of high-performing, interactive video and display ad experiences across web and mobile ecosystems.
• Team Alignment: Work closely with cross-functional Studio teams, strategists, and developers.
• Scope of Ownership: Deliver custom interactive creatives, from initial layout and motion design to light coding, prototyping, QA, and launch.
• Impact Metric: Execute pixel-perfect, production-ready ad formats on tight deadlines while maintaining high QA standards across all target platforms.

What You’ll Do

Design Craft & Motion

• Translate brand guidelines and campaign concepts into engaging visual designs optimized for in-feed environments.
• Craft sleek visual layouts applying core UI/UX fundamentals: composition, typography, color theory, and visual hierarchy.
• Design fluid motion sequences, establishing precise timing, easing, and choreography for interactive creative assets.

Creative Development & Prototyping

• Build responsive HTML5, CSS3, and modern JavaScript (ES6+) layouts from existing templates and patterns without relying on heavy frameworks (React/Angular) to adhere strictly to publisher lightweight specs.
• Repurpose & analyze existing codebase patterns to quickly integrate, adjust, or tweak snippets for custom builds.
• Prototype and ship simpler display and video experiences end-to-end, reducing handoffs.

Technical Standards & Quality Assurance

• Configure campaign builds, managing scaffolding, assets, parameters, and tag structures.
• Understand AdTech standards, including IAB specifications, VAST/VPAID video tags, and 3rd-party tracking pixels (1x1s, click tags).
• Execute thorough QA testing across browsers, devices, and publisher environments.

Innovation & AI Workflow

• Leverage generative AI tools into daily workflows for visual exploration and code assistance.
• Bridge design and dev perspectives across the team, growing technical skills while delivering polished creative work.

Requirements & Tech Stack

Must-Haves

• Foundational background in digital graphic design, UI/UX, or digital media.
• Proficiency in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite (specifically Photoshop and After Effects).
• Solid grasp of HTML5, CSS3 (animations/transitions), and vanilla JavaScript (ES6+).
• Understanding of display vs. video formats, basic IAB standards, VAST/VPAID tags, and third-party tracking setup.
• Strong detail orientation with an eager mindset to test, troubleshoot, and optimize work.

Nice-to-Haves

• Prior exposure to ad platforms, dynamic creative tools, or demo environments.
• Hands-on familiarity using Generative AI tools (e.g., Midjourney, ChatGPT, Copilot) in design and coding processes.
