Requirements

What we're looking for

More than 6 years of professional experience in software engineering, with at least 3 years dedicated to XR/VR/AR/MR.

Senior-level experience in Unity: Solid mastery of C# in a Unity production environment.

Having launched an XR title or experience on current-generation headsets such as PICO 4, Meta Quest, HoloLens, Magic Leap, or Apple Vision Pro.

Familiarity with mobile XR performance

Ability to analyze a Unity profile and know exactly where the milliseconds were consumed.

Experience in co-located and shared-space multiplayer (multiple headsets in the same room, anchored to the same coordinate system).

Proven experience on the ground: at least one installed or location-based entertainment project that has functioned reliably with real visitors, not just an app store product.

The role

We are looking for a Technical Director to become one of the company's key engineers.

You will be responsible for the technical implementation of Unity-based Mixed Reality experiences from end to end.

This position is for an engineer who has launched products to market, not just created prototypes.

You will report directly to the CEO and work hand in hand with the Creative Director, the Technical Artist, and the on-site operations team.

What you'll do

Develop free-roam MR experiences (PICO 4, Quest 3 / Pro or equivalents)

Lead the production engineering of our MR architecture in Unity: game code, networking, content pipeline, build process, and on-device profiling.

Collaborate with the Technical Artist to maintain the appropriate frame rate on mobile XR hardware without sacrificing cinematic finish.

Travel to partner facilities for installation, on-site debugging, environment calibration, and operator training. Be on the ground when a project needs to go live.

Leverage AI tools and agents in the day-to-day to ensure efficient development. Lead the hiring of the engineering team as we scale.
