Senior Unity VR Engineer

Accountabilities

Unity client architecture: Design, build, and maintain core components of the Unity VR client architecture, creating reusable infrastructure that supports multiple training simulations and future client platforms rather than one-off applications.
Client-server integration: Implement client-side systems that communicate with backend services according to established architectural specifications, accurately reflecting server-authoritative simulation state and behavior on the device.
API and contract collaboration: Work closely with backend engineers to co-design client-server APIs, define data contracts, and ensure reliable communication between the client and server components.
Reusable frameworks and infrastructure: Develop scalable frameworks, shared components, and architectural patterns that enable efficient development, maintenance, and expansion of the training platform.
VR application development: Build and evolve immersive training experiences for Android-based VR devices, ensuring stable functionality, responsive interactions, and consistent behavior across supported hardware.
Performance optimization: Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks, optimize resource usage, and improve runtime reliability to deliver smooth and effective VR experiences.
Developer and content creation tools: Create and maintain tools that help content creators and other developers build, configure, test, and extend training simulations efficiently.
AI-assisted engineering workflows: Integrate AI coding assistants into everyday development practices and establish pipelines, automated checks, and validation processes that make AI-generated code reliable and maintainable.
Technical decision-making: Make pragmatic architectural choices, balance technical priorities, and address complex engineering challenges in a dynamic environment where requirements and product needs may evolve.
Cross-functional collaboration: Communicate technical decisions clearly, collaborate with distributed team members, and contribute to the continuous improvement of engineering practices and platform architecture.
Requirements
Professional Unity and C# experience: Ideally 5 or more years of professional experience developing software with Unity and C#, with a proven track record of delivering complex applications or products.
Large-scale application architecture: Demonstrated experience designing, architecting, and refactoring substantial Unity projects, supported by a portfolio or examples of relevant work.
Android VR development: Recent experience developing VR applications for Android-based devices within the past five years. Familiarity with Meta Quest hardware and its development ecosystem is strongly preferred.
Reusable infrastructure development: Proven ability to build generic frameworks, shared systems, and reusable client-side infrastructure rather than focusing exclusively on individual features or standalone applications.
Client-server architecture: Comfort working within a defined client-server architecture, implementing established API contracts, and integrating client applications with backend services that maintain authoritative simulation state and logic.
Software engineering fundamentals: Strong architectural judgment, debugging skills, and the ability to build maintainable, reliable systems with attention to performance and long-term scalability.
Developer tooling and automation: Experience developing tools, workflows, or validation systems that improve engineering productivity and software quality. Familiarity with AI coding assistants and automated validation practices is valuable.
Adaptability and ownership: A proactive, independent approach to problem-solving, with the ability to manage technical priorities and make sound decisions in an early-stage startup environment.
Communication and teamwork: Excellent English communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with colleagues in a remote, multicultural team.
Interest in learning technology: Genuine enthusiasm for using software and immersive technologies to improve training, education, and learning experiences.
Nice to have
Experience developing for additional client platforms, particularly WebGL.
Familiarity with data-driven or reactive component systems.
Experience building extensible technical platforms that support multiple applications, workflows, or deployment targets.
An interest in AI-assisted software development and improving engineering workflows through automation.
