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.

  • 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

  • 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.
