Creative Frontend Developer (Three.js / WebGL)

ABOUT THE ROLE

We're building the new Kiran Jewels India website as a flagship interactive experience real-time 3D, cinematic scroll, custom shaders. The kind of site that makes you forget you're in a browser, applied to a luxury jewellery house.

This is a build-only role. A designer art-directs the feel and hands you visuals, motion and 3D scenes; you turn them into a fast, flawless, interactive site in Three.js / WebGL.

THE BAR WE'RE AIMING FOR

Award-tier interactive web real-time 3D, custom shaders, cinematic scroll, particle systems. A flagship experience, not a templated corporate site. If that's what you want to build, read on.

THE PROJECT

• Build the KJI website real-time 3D, scroll-driven, shader-rich, a steady 60fps
• Project-based, paid, on-site in Mumbai

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Build immersive, real-time 3D web experiences in Three.js / WebGL
• Write custom GLSL shaders dissolves, chromatic aberration, displacement, glitch, refraction
• Build particle systems and GPU-driven effects (morphing point clouds, fluid-like motion)
• Orchestrate scroll-driven cinematic camera journeys and scene transitions
• Implement buttery smooth / inertia scrolling and GSAP-timed motion
• Add post-processing (bloom, depth of field, chromatic aberration, grain)
• Integrate 3D assets (Blender / glTF) and optimise them for the web
• Obsess over performance draw calls, shader precompile, texture/geometry loading, preloaders
• Ship it deployed, production-grade, fast on real devices

MUST HAVE

• Three.js / WebGL proven, you've shipped real interactive 3D (not just tutorials)
• GLSL comfortable writing your own vertex / fragment shaders
• React (and/or React Three Fiber) clean, component-driven front-end
• Modern front-end JS / TypeScript, HTML, CSS
• Motion GSAP, timeline orchestration, easing, smooth scroll (Lenis or similar)
• Real performance instincts hitting 60fps and fast loads on mid-range devices
• Ability to translate a designer's art direction precisely into code
• Git discipline; can deploy and ship

NICE TO HAVE

• WebGL-rendered UI / SDF text effects, letter-scramble, text glitches
• Particle / fluid simulations, instancing, custom geometry
• React Three Fiber + drei, postprocessing library
• glTF / Draco / KTX2 optimisation, custom asset pipelines
• WebGPU curiosity
• Live, award-worthy interactive sites in your portfolio

WHAT YOU GET

• Paid, on-site, project-based internship in Mumbai
• Ownership of the build layer of a flagship, public-facing experience
• A brief that actually lets you do award-tier work not a templated corporate site
• Direct mentorship and production-level work
