Job Overview
We’re looking for a frontend-focused engineer to join our Social Experience team. We hire engineers to solve real user problems, not implement specs. You will be instrumental in discovering, developing, and refining the client-side features that enhance how our users connect, interact, and discover content and communities together. This role involves working within the Unity engine and C# to build high-quality, performant, and engaging user interfaces and systems.
Who You Are
A mission-driven, curious engineer who has comfort with ambiguity, change advocacy, and AI-supported development workflows. Someone who enjoys working closely with teammates to deliver real user impact while continuously improving the ways we work.
Work within a full stack team to discover, develop, and maintain social features within the VRChat client using Unity/C#.
Drive user growth with a focus on enhancing social systems, building the UI/UX for groups, events, and other social interaction features.
Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, data scientists, and other engineers across the stack to translate product and design vision into functional code through informed tradeoffs and estimates.
Contribute to all stages of the feature lifecycle, from initial concept and prototyping to deployment and post-launch iteration and maintenance.
Identify and address performance bottlenecks and bugs to ensure a smooth and responsive user experience across various platforms.
Help shape how the team works: driving toward collaborative, iterative, outcome-focused, product-discovery-driven delivery.
Advocate for the adoption and use of modern technologies and engineering practices to improve team effectiveness.
Participate in code reviews to maintain a high bar for code quality, architectural integrity, performance, and reliability while spreading knowledge across the team.
Track record of shipping consumer-facing client features end-to-end, preferably in social gaming/platforms, or client-side application development.
Proficiency in C# and strong working knowledge of Unity and uGUI.
Experience with client-side development for social features, user interfaces, or similar consumer-facing applications.
Experience optimizing Unity projects for performance across various hardware, including standalone VR devices.
Solid understanding of object-oriented programming principles and software design patterns.
Experience with CI/CD systems, A/B testing, AI tooling, and automated testing.
Proven success improving user growth, user engagement, or user retention.
An agile, collaborative, product mindset and excellent communication skills, capable of working effectively in a remote, cross-functional team environment.
Demonstrated interest in online communities, VR, or VRChat (as a user or creator).
Experience facilitating team discussions, working agreements, and team process improvements.
Comfort working full stack across the client and backend (ie Node.js)
Familiarity with web technologies, particularly React or Express.
Familiarity with API integration (REST/JSON) and WebSockets.
Experience developing native applications for iOS (Swift) or Android (Kotlin).
