Happy Finish

We are HF.  We are a pioneering global creative technology and content studio that has a proven track record of working with the biggest brands to develop groundbreaking solutions, while picking up a slew of awards along the way.  Clients and partners such Nike, Microsoft, TikTok, Vodafone and Saatchi work with us to develop bespoke, cross platforms solutions, both for their consumers and their internal teams & processes. 

We don’t see mixed reality as an emerging technology as we’ve been there from the start.  Exploring possibilities.  Crafting content.  Pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.  We straddle the line between dreams and reality, our technological process bridging that gap.

We’ve always stood on the precipice of the future and now it’s truly here.  We’re looking for the best to take these steps with us.  We need a Developer (Mid level) for our London operations in Old Street.  You will be joining a world-class team that strives to create the unimagined with every project.  It’s an exciting time for us with new offices in Milan and Verona, augmenting our London and Portland based operations.  We’re looking for truly ambitious, imaginative and world class talent to take this journey with us.
