About The Role
We're looking for an InDesign Automation Developer to join The N2 Company's engineering team and help modernize how their print publications get built. N2 produces roughly 900 print publications a month — averaging about 40 pages each, around 33 million pages a month — out of their own Dallas print shop. Today, an InDesign scripting pipeline (run in partnership with an external vendor) takes structured content and slams it into a rough first-draft layout, which a human designer then finishes by hand.
You'll dig into that existing pipeline, debug and stabilize the scripts causing intermittent layout errors, and build new automation to push the first draft closer to print-ready — reducing the manual design work and the team's reliance on outside scripting help.
This role starts InDesign-heavy. As you ramp up, you'll grow into real backend ticket work alongside N2's Rails engineering team — no specific framework required on day one, just genuine coding aptitude and the motivation to grow into it.
What You'll Do
- Build and maintain InDesign automation using ExtendScript and/or UXP (.idjs) to generate print-ready layouts from structured content (IDML, data-merge, JSON).
- Debug and stabilize existing production scripts — including root-causing intermittent text-sizing and layout errors in the current publication pipeline.
- Work with InDesign Server / headless rendering to run automation at production scale, not just through the desktop InDesign client.
- Collaborate with N2's design and engineering teams to reduce manual layout work and shrink reliance on outside scripting vendors.
- As you ramp up, pick up real backend tickets alongside N2's engineering team, growing your skills in a modern backend stack.
- Communicate clearly and proactively in a fully remote, US-based team environment.
Requirements (Must-Haves)
- Strong, hands-on Adobe InDesign scripting experience — ExtendScript and/or UXP (.idjs).
- Genuine coding aptitude and motivation to grow
