TLDR

We are looking for a Unity Engineer who wants to join a business that’s constantly exploring emerging technology and is keen to level up an already incredible team. You will work in one of our cross-functional teams, developing game components and systems as well as solving unique and challenging technical problems within a specific squad.

This is an exciting chance to work in an agile engineering environment determined to deliver greatness to our players and create a movement for movement.

You’ll get from us:

• A highly collaborative team of specialists, who manage a huge range of high-impact initiatives - your thoughts, challenges, and ideas are actively encouraged!

• A culture built on delivering greatness, sharing feedback, and trying new things

• A highly invested senior leadership team who believe our people are what will take our business to the next level - they are your teammates, cheerleaders, coaches, support team - working beside you as we build the #1 immersive fitness app in the world

• Strong foundations, but an openness to working your way - we have a high-quality bar when it comes to delivery, but teams have the freedom to self-organise how they achieve this

• An excellent benefits package, including fully remote working - see below

Where you’ll spend your time:

• Work closely with your cross-functional team to design, prototype and implement new features

• Develop subject matter expertise in one or more areas of our product so that you can identify technical risks or opportunities, and help the team tackle them

• Take the lead on medium-sized projects in the areas that you’re responsible for and deliver them on time and at high quality

• Make well-reasoned decisions and trade-offs within your area of expertise to align the team’s prioritisation with company strategy and goals, driving tangible outcomes and demonstrating business impact.

• Volunteer to coach, and share skills, techniques and ways of working with your team

• Own quality and performance for your area and proactively partner with QA to raise the bar

You should apply if you have:

• Proficiency in C#

• Great verbal and written communication skills. You communicate well with technical and non-technical stakeholders alike

• Demonstrable game development experience on Meta Quest

• Proven track record of successful releases

• Confidence using Unity

• Experience using source control systems

• [nice to have] Other programming and scripting languages, and other domains (eg web frontend, backend services, editors/tools, etc)

• [nice to have] Prior work in non-gameplay fields. Everything counts but Graphics & UI are especially interesting to us

Our mission is to make fitness fun and accessible for everyone. To build inclusive products, we need to build an inclusive team. Please know that this list is indicative, and we would still love to hear from you even if you feel you are only a 75% match. Skills can be learned, but diversity cannot. We promote a diverse and inclusive culture at FitXR.
