Sci-Fi Social Storyteller — Founding Creative

Description:

We’re building a AI-native, mobile-native, original science-fiction universe —imagining what Star Wars, Mad Max, or Rick and Morty might look like if they were created from scratch today, with a provocative streak inspired by MSCHF, Balenciaga, and Gentle Monster.

We’re looking for a Founding Creative to help invent what that looks like.

You might come from advertising, film, social, gaming, creative technology—or some strange combination of them.

We want someone who can move effortlessly between ten-year mythology and ten-second videos.

Someone who can:

• Help define the creative vision for an original science-fiction universe built to live across social, entertainment, and emerging media.
• Build worlds, characters, mythology, storylines, and narrative systems.
• Invent original, social-native formats with the potential to become repeatable cultural phenomena—understanding hooks, creators, participation, algorithms, comments, memes, and the strange ways culture moves online.
• Write, make, experiment, and build—not just direct from the sidelines.
• Push AI creatively—mastering the models, prompts, workflows, and tools reshaping how stories get made.

This is a founding role. You won’t be inheriting a playbook. You’ll help write it.

About You:

You are a ... spacecadet (speys-kuh-det), slang noun

| 1. a person perceived as out of touch with reality. | 2. a highly trained, ready for action, almost astronaut. | The first dreamt of us on the moon. The second got us there. Any great leap forward takes both.

About Us:
