Game Developer & Co-Founder at Dreams Engine

Dreams is building the next-generation 3D game engine in Rust, a real alternative to Unreal Engine and Unity, designed from the ground up for performance, flexibility, and developer experience.

We’re looking for a technical co-founder who eats game development for breakfast and wants to build something that changes how games are made, not just play in the sandbox someone else built.

What You’ll Do

• Co-own the engine’s technical direction alongside the founder

• Build and ship core game systems: rendering, physics, gameplay loops, and tooling

• Develop demo games and internal projects to stress-test and showcase the engine

• Work on editor UX, ECS architecture, and advanced rendering features (volumetric clouds, water, lighting)

• Help shape the product roadmap, engage with early users, and represent Dreams to investors and the developer community

What We’re Looking For

• Strong experience in game development (shipped at least one game or major game system)

• Proficiency in Rust, C++, or a systems-level language (Rust experience is a big plus)

• Working knowledge of 3D graphics pipelines, shaders (GLSL/WGSL/HLSL), and rendering techniques

• Comfortable with ECS architecture, physics engines, and engine-level programming

• Passion for game dev tooling and a genuine belief that developers deserve better tools

• Startup mindset: okay with uncertainty, moves fast, and cares deeply about ownership

Nice to Have

• Experience with Unreal Engine or Unity internals

• AI/ML integration in game systems

• Background in animation systems or procedural generation

• Prior startup or open-source contributor experience

What You Get

• Co-founder title and equity (negotiable based on contribution and commitment)

• Fully remote-friendly (India-based preferred)

• Direct ownership over major technical pillars of the engine

• A seat at the table with investors, accelerators, and the global game dev community
