  • Contributing to an exciting, innovative, and supportive work environment.


Desired Experience and Skills:

  • Minimum 5+ years game engineering experience;

  • Prior experience developing in Unity (and/or developing engineering content for a Unity learning pathway or curriculum);
  • Ability to communicate effectively with designers, producers, artists and other game making professionals;
  • Passion for mentoring aspiring game makers.


It's a bonus if you have:

  • Shipped one or more games built in Unity;
  • Samples of completed Unity game projects you have directly contributed to;
  • Prior experience teaching game making -- or collaborating with others to make games -- in an online or virtual setting.
