Unity Developer (VR)

About Quantum Arcadia

Quantum Arcadia LLP is an indie VR/AR game studio based in Vadodara, India. We are building Dreamscape — an open-world VR city-exploration experience for Meta Quest featuring AI-powered NPCs and photorealistic recreations of global cities including Mumbai, Paris, Rome, New York, and Tokyo. We are targeting a December 2026 launch and are assembling a talented team of developers, artists, and designers to bring this vision to life.

The Role

We are looking for a skilled Unity Developer with hands-on VR experience to join the Dreamscape engineering team. You will be responsible for implementing core gameplay systems, VR interactions, performance optimisation for Meta Quest, and integrating AI-powered NPC behaviours into the open-world environment. This is a high-ownership role where your code will directly shape the player experience.

What You Will Do

1. • Develop and maintain gameplay systems, VR interactions, and world mechanics in Unity (C#)
2. • Implement and optimise VR features using the XR Interaction Toolkit and Meta Quest SDK
3. • Build performant open-world systems — streaming, LOD management, occlusion culling — within Meta Quest hardware constraints
4. • Integrate AI-powered NPC behaviours and city simulation systems into the game world
5. • Implement Unity UI Toolkit and World Space UI for in-VR menus, HUDs, and interaction prompts
6. • Work with the backend team to integrate multiplayer or cloud services (PlayFab / Photon Fusion)
7. • Profile and optimise frame rate, draw calls, memory usage, and thermal performance for standalone Quest
8. • Collaborate with 3D Artists and UI/UX Designer to integrate assets cleanly into the Unity pipeline
9. • Participate in code reviews, sprint planning, and daily standups as part of the core dev team
10. • Write clean, well-documented, and maintainable C# code following established conventions

What We Are Looking For

1. • 2–5 years of professional Unity development experience
2. • Proven hands-on experience with VR development — Meta Quest (Quest 2 / Quest 3) strongly preferred
3. • Strong proficiency in C# and Unity game architecture patterns (MVC, ECS, ScriptableObjects)
4. • Experience with the XR Interaction Toolkit or Oculus Integration SDK
5. • Solid understanding of GPU/CPU profiling and mobile/standalone VR optimisation
6. • Experience with Unity's Universal Render Pipeline (URP)
7. • Familiarity with Git-based version control workflows
8. • Portfolio or shipped title demonstrating VR or 3D game development

Nice to Have

1. • Experience with open-world or streaming world techniques in Unity
2. • Familiarity with PlayFab, Photon Fusion, or multiplayer networking
3. • Knowledge of NavMesh, behaviour trees, or AI NPC systems
4. • Experience integrating LLM or AI services into Unity projects
5. • Prior indie studio or startup experience
6. • Interest in Indian cities, architecture, or cultural storytelling — the heart of Dreamscape

What We Offer

1. Work on a pioneering, India-made VR title targeting a global launch on Meta Quest
2. Direct collaboration with the Game Director and a small, passionate core team
3. High ownership — your systems will be central to Dreamscape's player experience
4. A creative, learning-first culture with room to grow as the studio scales
5. Competitive salary based on experience and skill
6. On-site role at our Vadodara studio
