Job Description

About Noonah

Noonah is an employee-owned powerhouse in experiential technology, where creativity meets cutting-edge innovation. We bring events to life with an exciting range of tech, from Live Event Printing and interactive Photo Booths to Prize Giveaways and even Robotic Camera Arms.

Partnering with some of the world's biggest brands, agencies, and corporate clients, we transform brand activations, sporting events, music festivals, trade shows, and conferences into unforgettable experiences. Whether across the UK or beyond, we're dedicated to delivering world-class, interactive moments that captivate audiences and elevate brands.

The Role

We're hiring a Tech Lead to own the technical delivery of our event products.

This is a hands-on job. You'll design, build, and run the tech for live activations end-to-end, and you'll be the go-to technical authority on site for bigger/complex builds.

You'll be working across everything from AI photo workflows and real-time printing, to robotics and custom interactive setups. If you like mixing hardware, software, and live human experience, you'll enjoy this.

What You'll Do

Own the technical side of activations from pre-production to delivery. Make sure builds are solid, delivered to spec, and ops teams are trained/supported. Design and build event systems that pull together cameras, electronics, printers, web front ends, and back-end services/APIs. Be the technical decision-maker for your projects, fixing problems fast and keeping activations live. Improve reliability and scalability: better system design, deployment process, QA, and fallback plans. Work with Creative and Sales to figure out what's possible, estimate effort properly, and guide clients to the best solution. Create reusable frameworks/patterns for common builds (photo journeys, data capture, print pipelines, robotic workflows, etc.). Mentor technicians and help raise technical standards across the team. Support research, prototyping and feed learnings back into product development.
