We proudly operate as a merit-based, equal opportunity employer, consistently recruiting the best talent who share our passion for excellence and innovation. As a startup in its early stages of funding, we thrive in a flexible, remote work setting, ready to embrace new challenges and groundbreaking ideas.

Role Description

We are seeking an experienced Unity C# Software Engineer for a remote, contract-based role. This pivotal position involves designing, developing, and maintaining our back-end systems that are the backbone of our gaming projects. If you excel in both game development and traditional back-end infrastructures, are adept at object-oriented programming, and thrive in dynamic, flexible work environments, you are exactly who we're looking for.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design & Development: Architect, create, and optimize robust back-end systems with a focus on Unity and C#.
• Collaboration: Partner with cross-functional teams to integrate game components seamlessly.
• Debugging & Quality Assurance: Identify and resolve code issues to maintain the highest quality standards.
• OOP Implementation: Leverage object-oriented programming principles to craft sustainable, scalable code.
• Innovation: Actively participate in code reviews and contribute ideas that elevate our software solutions.

Qualifications

• Technical Proficiency: Strong foundation in Computer Science fundamentals and proven software development experience.
• Back-End & Game Development: Expertise in back-end web development, particularly using Unity and C#.
• OOP Expertise: In-depth understanding of object-oriented programming and practical application in various environments.
• Problem-Solving: Exceptional analytical abilities with meticulous attention to detail.
• Remote Work Capability: Demonstrated ability to work effectively in a remote setting with a flexible schedule.
• Educational Background: A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field is a plus.
• Industry Experience: Prior experience in the gaming industry is highly desirable.

Location, Compensation, and Work Schedule

• Preferred Location: While this position is fully remote, a strong preference is given to candidates based in Canada to tap into available government grants and subsidies.
• Compensation Structure:
• Equity-Based Model: For roles not governed by a co-development work-for-hire contract, compensation is awarded as equity shares on a monthly basis. These shares may be held as a long-term investment or traded quarterly, in line with our evolving funding landscape.
• Work-for-Hire Alternative: For co-development work-for-hire contracts, payments are issued on a monthly basis.
• Flexible Work Schedule: We embrace a flexible work schedule that allows you to balance personal commitments with professional growth, ensuring you deliver exceptional results on your terms.
• Funding Advantages: We are actively exploring Canadian funding programs and subsidies—such as NRC IRAP and SR&ED—to secure even more competitive compensation structures.

Working Environment

• Remote Collaboration: Join our fully remote team that values flexibility, creativity, and effective problem solving.
• Dynamic Culture: Experience a startup environment that champions continuous learning and collaborative innovation. We believe that talent and hard work deserve recognition and reward, irrespective of background or demographics.
• Growth Opportunities: As our funding grows through investments or publishing deals, there will be more opportunities for increased compensation, office expansion, and new projects.
