This project role involves programming videogames in the Unity3D engine as well as managing other team members and overseeing project progress. All content development takes place in the Unity3D videogame engine, which can run C# or Javascript code. This means we need a programmer with experience specifically developing for Unity in one of those languages. The programming role will include writing scripts for managing game flow. For example, a game may begin in a tutorial phase, then switch to a practice phase, then switch to Level 1, then to Level 2, and so forth. The game's code must be organized in such a way that it is efficient, effective, and easy to understand. Other types of programming will include character animations, game object behavior, and game balancing. This position will involve rapidly prototyping many videogame ideas into simple proof-of-concept builds for virtual reality platforms. It requires a skilled programmer to rapidly create such games. Such programming requires years of hands-on programming experience as a game developer.
The second major role required by this position is that of a project manager. Full videogames require highly coordinated teams to create. Such teams may comprise artists, programmers, animators, 3D modelers, and others. The job of the project manager is to keep all the team members coordinated and ensure that the project is on schedule. This involves setting timelines, assigning jobs, and accurately estimating how long development will take. The candidate must be familiar with Agile development and must be familiar with every part of game development, from proof-of-concept to final bug testing and polish. Such a role requires many years of experience in the game industry. The current project has a small team, but we expect the team to grow in the future and it is necessary to hire someone capable of overseeing multiple development teams working on concurrent projects.
