Unity Game Developer

Who We Are:

Fully funded startup, developing a high concept mobile game right here in Vancouver. Experienced, successful management team with a dedicated board; our chairman is a pillar of the game industry who was recently given a Lifetime Achievement Award.

For this project, we have partnered with a major US company that has deep connections to market leaders in North America and Europe. We have great views and amenities in our Gastown studio. The pace is fast and the work demanding, but we’re aiming for a big prize.

Who We’re Looking For:

We are looking to add a Unity developer to our product team as we transition from Pre-Production to full Production. While we prefer a seasoned game developer with experience working on mobile platforms, personality fit is absolutely essential. We will happily take on newer prospects with the right drive and commitment.

We are looking for full-time hires who want to join us for the long haul, but we may consider a “getting to know you” contract for the right individual.
