Senior Game Developer
We are looking for a Senior Game Developer proficient with Unity and C# to join us in creating and guiding our projects, ranging from VR simulators to multiplayer worlds (?metaverses!) where people can practice and learn new skills by playing actual games.
We believe in the power of XR and games applied not only for pure entertainment but also to help businesses solve problems and give value: based on the use case, we choose the best technology (be it Virtual Reality, Mobile, other platforms or all of them) and the best solution (single/multiplayer, learning game, simulation…), and design on it.
As a Senior Game Developer in AnotheReality, you will have to analyze, engineer and develop projects and features until they’re stable in production, and contribute with your vision on the long term technical direction as well. You will work with the other production departments, with the design and creative directions, and you’ll also face clients and business partners to understand their needs or to explain what our hard technical choices mean for them, why we’re taking them and the tradeoffs, in terms they can understand.
You will guide development choices in a strategic way, understanding the technical heritage and tools we have already at disposal, and decide how to reuse and when to take opportunities to grow and expand our tools.
This is not a junior or a mid position: we’re looking for someone who’ll work in contact with junior and mid level resources, helping and mentoring them, and encouraging a stimulating environment for teamwork and sharing. We’re not looking for the genius lone wolf developer: we’re looking for someone who is technically good but is able to discuss with others, and is able to listen to others and compromise when needed.
Also, all the other departments are your teammates: you will aim with them to achieve common goals, working in symbiosis and encouraging a cohesive working climate.
