Job description
Many innovation efforts fail not because of a lack of technology, but because teams keep approaching problems from the same assumptions, cultural frames, and mental models.
At Hypersolid, we deliberately bring new perspectives into our innovation work. That’s why we’re looking for someone who doesn’t neatly fit a typical tech or innovation role, someone who can introduce ways of thinking we don’t yet have.
What you’ll do
You’ll step in early, often before solutions exist, to help shape the problem space and open up new directions. In practice, that means you’ll:
Question assumptions about users, technology, culture, business, and society
Introduce fresh perspectives in the earliest stages of innovation work
Work closely with technologists and designers to translate insights into directions, concepts, and experiments
Contribute to projects as a co-creator, not only as a thinker
Help clients reframe problems and uncover opportunities they hadn’t considered
How you see the world
You think in terms of behavior, meaning, culture, and context, and you notice patterns others tend to miss. You’re comfortable asking questions that may feel uncomfortable but are necessary. Technology interests you as a societal and cultural force, not just a tool.
What you bring
A background in sociology, psychology, philosophy, anthropology, media studies, or a related field
A strong affinity with technology and digital innovation
Interest in how technology influences human behavior, power structures, and society
Strong analytical and communication skills
One more thing
You don’t need to be a hardcore developer, and you don’t need to fit an existing profile. What matters is that you add something that isn’t here yet.
You might recognize yourself if
You’ve wondered whether you’re “technical enough” for innovation roles
You’re drawn to complex questions without clear answers
You want to shape innovation at the level of meaning, not just solutions
