Who We Are

We are a trusted design and creative technology partner to some of the world’s most ambitious brands such as Google, Amazon, Meta and Uber. We operate fully remote, and our team members enjoy the flexibility of working from anywhere within the U.S. and Canada time zones while keeping a balanced relationship with their personal life. 

At Left Field Labs, our curiosity drives us to seek out uncommon solutions to our shared challenges. Our purpose is to positively impact the human experience with everything we invent. We’re looking for those who can craft unique solutions through empathy.

Interested in joining a culture that celebrates diversity, encourages curiosity, and creates with purpose? Are you the kind of person who obsesses over details, thrives in a collaborative environment, and jumps at the opportunity to take on new challenges? Confident that you’re at the top of your game and ready to invent with others who are at the top of theirs? Check out our open position and let’s talk.

Who We Are Seeking

We’re looking for a Design Technologist who could up up-level our team and allow us to build more internal frontend applications and prototypes using Generative AI within one of our client teams. The team has several initiatives they're exploring using generative AI from search features within their mobile application, artwork tools to analyze imagery, and UI text tools to generate new names for video carousels.

We’re particularly looking for someone with experience using AWS tools such as Lambda and Bedrock to build internal APIs and serverless functions that the team can reuse. Experience in backend languages like Node.JS and Python are preferred to help set up some infrastructure in our AWS account.
