This role is part of our software team, responsible for building the logic and behaviours that VR broader environments.

You will be involved in designing and implementing systems that influence presence, interaction, and realism. The work focuses on areas just outside the user's direct control but essential to their overall experience. It is a technically demanding and collaborative role, requiring close coordination with internal stakeholders to ensure features are robust, reliable, and aligned with creative direction.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Design, implement, and maintain advanced Unity systems, focusing on background character behaviours and supporting frameworks
  • Build and refine XR applications where systemic character interaction plays a meaningful role

  • Optimise performance and stability for runtime systems at scale
  • Investigate and resolve technical challenges within production constraints
  • Contribute to the ongoing improvement of development processes and tools
Requirements:
  • Minimum 8 years of professional engineering experience
  • At least 5 years working with Unity in a production environment
  • A record of contributing to multiple released or activated projects
  • Strong proficiency in C# within Unity
  • Experience developing XR applications
  • Ability to commute to the Brookvale office
  • Effective communication and collaboration skills
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience with character logic, behaviour trees, or simulation systems
  • Familiarity with networking frameworks such as Mirror, Photon, UNet, or Netcode for GameObjects
  • Proficiency with Git and collaborative version control workflows
  • Exposure to CI/CD pipelines and Unity automation practices
Why This Role?

This role focuses on developing the invisible layers that bring cohesion and depth to interactive systems. If you value precision, systems thinking, and the craft of creating believable behaviour, we'd love to hear from you.
