Careers at The Engine
Independent Forever
Design your own workweek. Sure, you’re expected to get it done, but you decide how. There’s no one looking over your shoulder. That would be weird. And get reported to HR. Work from home one day and in the studio the next. Be warned though! Collaborating in person may lead to happy hour.
Freedom to Lead
If you feel held back, you belong here. Our project leads are free to run projects their way. Creative leaders work directly with account managers to craft an ideal workflow. Every project is different, so each team decides how to reach the finish line. These small teams deliver the best ideas because they're closest to the work.
Grounded in Trust
We offer a studio-centric hybrid schedule. Currently, at a 50/50 hybrid model, we have no future plans to go 100%. Our studios are designed to be a place you love coming into. Plus, when you need to get away, away, you can work remotely from your vacation destination.
Bearish on no bullsh*t
Because better creative comes from a place with no bullshit. Traditional and in-house agencies don’t have the freedom we do. We changed our business model to cut through the clutter. Less paperwork and more autonomy. This works for us. Does it work for you?
No timesheets. We trust you to get it done.
No fake family culture. Plenty of inside jokes though.
No holding groups to please. Just the clients. And yourself.
No pressure to work late. Seriously, go home.
No overpowering egos. Humble humans work here.
No battles to win. Save the drama for TV time.
No endless redlining. Conversations are easier.
Yes to collaborating with clients. Better experience for all.

Progress over perfection
The Engine is far from perfect, and we know it. We constantly listen and gather feedback directly and through third-party surveys. Every insight and rating helps us be better. Based on the 2021 results, we’re currently working on providing additional training resources and a more robust performance feedback process. We want to be a positive force in your life, at work and home.
