Thrive is designing and building a bleeding-edge framework that provides a forward-thinking path for developers creating and sharing VR software. This framework’s intended use is in the Unity game engine. VR developers and users interact with our framework through both the Unity editor as well as our online VR software client.

The breadth of knowledge we are expecting from our Unity devs would cover that of a typical Unity game/app developer that in addition to this has a deeper understanding of software architecture and core .NET and networking fundamentals. You will be expected to use this knowledge in unique and innovate ways to design and develop new features and create solutions to challenging problems.

Much of the software we are developing requires a tight-knit mesh between front-end and back-end software. Having knowledge and experience interfacing with backend services is a huge plus to us. Team-work and collaboration will play a large role in your participation at Thrive, so good communication skills are essential.

Our ideal candidate would possess at least some levels of familiarity with things such as C#, C++, C, .NET, Python, etc…

This is an opportunity to get in on the ground floor designing and building software that will literally shape the future of VR.

Requirements 

• *Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or other related technical field.
• *2+ years experience in related position, or equivalent independent experience.
• Comfortability and willingness to learn new things and ask questions necessary to competently complete your tasks.

*A bachelor’s degree in computer science or experience in a related field is preferred, but not required if you can demonstrate relevant experience.

Working at Thrive! 

At Thrive you’ll work remotely as part of a team that is designing and developing our VR application and game development framework. Your specific duties may include iterating on design, writing code, debugging, and creating documentation. You’ll be involved in all stages of the development life-cycle, from initial concept to final implementation and support.

Regardless of your position, at Thrive you’ll have the opportunity to work on challenging and innovative projects that require unconventional solutions and structured, scalable implementations. To succeed in this role, you should have a strong understanding of data flow, networking concepts, and performance considerations, and be able to conceptualize systems and their impact on the user experience. As with any start-up, you may also be asked to fill different roles depending on your skills and expertise.

The Right Fit

Thrive believes you’ll perform better, advance further, and feel more fulfilled making a meaningful contribution to a company you feel is “the right fit” for you and vice-versa. We’re passionate about development, collaboration, good software design and most of all, shaping the future of VR! If you share in our excitement then you’re probably a good fit at Thrive!

Challenge Yourself

As a member of the Thrive team, you’ll work on a variety of projects that push the boundaries of VR in a multitude of ways. You’ll take part in designing complex systems and developing “outside-the-box” solutions to challenging problems. Good team-work and communication will be a vital part of your success at Thrive and you should enjoy working alongside skilled and passionate VR enthusiasts.

Expectations

This is a remote work position, with a preferred commitment of 20-40 hours per week. However, we may be able to accommodate exceptions in certain circumstances, such as internship arrangements. As with any remote-work position you’ll be expected to effectively “self-manage” to varying degrees, using tools like discord, zoom, Miro, and Trello to stay connected with the team and collaborate on projects.

While this arrangement will be initially established on a contract basis, we would like to find people that will share in our passion for our project and become a long-term part of the Thrive team.
