Eyebeam is looking for a Tech Fellow to support our digital-first strategy and its related initiatives.

The Tech Fellow will support Eyebeam’s launch of a flexible and experimental online space that will host a wide range of public and semi-public programming.
This digital destination is one where accessibility is front and center, with user-friendly collaboration for artists.
