This is an equity-only founding role. As the first software developer in our games studio, you will help establish the technical foundation of our projects. You will work directly with the Studio Head and contribute to early prototypes, gameplay systems, and tools. Your work will influence how the studio builds and ships games.

• Collaborate with designers, artists, and production to define requirements and scope.
• Provide technical input on project planning, feasibility, and timelines.
• Help establish coding standards, workflows, and best practices for the studio.
• Contribute to documentation, build processes, testing, and version control.
• Support the long-term technical roadmap as the studio grows.

Requirements

• Strong experience with Unity (C#) or JavaScript/WebGL game frameworks (BabylonJS, Three.js, or similar).
• Experience building interactive prototypes, gameplay systems, or small games.
• Comfortable working in an early-stage, remote, asynchronous environment.
• Ability to work independently and make practical engineering decisions.
• Familiarity with Git or similar version control tools.
• Clear communication skills and willingness to collaborate with a small, multidisciplinary team.

Nice to Have

(Not required, but useful in an early-stage environment.)

• Experience with shaders, physics, animation systems, or UI frameworks.
• Exposure to multiplayer/networked game patterns.
• Experience with performance optimization for WebGL or mobile.
• Comfort working in environments with evolving specs and fast iteration cycles.

Compensation

• Equity-Based Role: Compensation is equity-first.
• Token Incentives: Potential token rewards pending regulatory approval.
• Salary Start: Salary begins when revenue and user-growth milestones are reached.
• Time Requirement: Minimum 20 hours/week.
• Perks: Remote work, flexible schedule, and access to internal programs and events.
