Here's the deal: I'm an HR person. I'm not a developer, and I'm not even a specialist recruiter. So, please bear with me while I try to relay what this job is about, as someone who doesn't know a lot about Full Stack JavaScript Development.

We're developing virtual world / metaverse software backed by large industry partners. We were one of the first virtual worlds around, back in 2006-ish, and our old product simply can't be updated and adapted anymore. Our new platform is running on Unity, super cool looking, and shaping up nicely. It's already been deployed on limited availability and has base functions and services.

We're looking for someone who can help us add advanced functionality and strategically plan our next dev moves. We already hired someone awesome in this role, but we're realizing it's a huge job and we could use another superstar. You'll be working with a small team of friendly, helpful, intelligent people who are eager to create something new.

• Enthusiastic about new technologies
• Likes figuring out how things work and how you could make them better
