🚀 The Challenge

We're expanding our VR training experiences to desktop/Windows to meet enterprise demand and reach 10x more users.

We need an experienced Unity developer to establish the technical foundation for this platform expansion by porting one of our flagship VR experiences to desktop, translating VR interactions to mouse/keyboard input while maintaining the quality and impact of the experience.

We're establishing our desktop platform strategy and looking for someone who has solved similar challenges before - whether that's VR platform porting, input abstraction, or cross-platform Unity development - to help us build solid patterns and best practices from the start.

What happens after? If the project succeeds and you're interested in continuing, we have significant ongoing Unity development needs: AI conversation optimization, lifelike avatar animation, AI personality systems, and additional platform work.

📋 Project Scope

🎯 Primary Objective

Port one VR training experience to Windows desktop with high-quality mouse/keyboard interaction.

📦 Key Deliverables

✅ Fully functional desktop build of VR training experience
✅ Mouse/keyboard input system that feels natural and intuitive
✅ Documented architecture and patterns for replication across other experiences
✅ Technical recommendations for scaling this approach

🔧 Technical Considerations

Primary interactions are UI-based (button presses, selections)
Need to maintain the emotional impact and flow of the VR experience
Should establish reusable patterns for our broader platform strategy
Code quality and documentation are critical for team adoption

Start date: Mid December or start of January

🎯 What We're Looking For

✅ Required Experience

5+ years Unity 3D development with shipped commercial projects
Strong Unity UI systems expertise
Experience with input system abstraction or multi-platform development
Proven ability to architect clean, maintainable solutions
Comfortable working independently in an async-first environment
Excellent communication skills (written English required, German a plus)

🌟 Highly Valued

Prior VR development experience (Quest, PCVR, or other platforms)
Experience porting applications between platforms
XR Toolkit or similar interaction framework experience
Understanding of UX considerations for different input modalities
Interest in AI, animation, or learning technology

💎 What Makes You Stand Out

⭐ You've done VR-to-desktop or similar platform ports before

⭐ You can show examples of clean input abstraction architecture

⭐ You have experience working with small teams on high-impact products

⭐ You're motivated by social impact and mission-driven work

🤝 How We Work

🔄 Collaboration: Regular sync with our senior Unity developer and team

💬 Async-first: Most communication via Discord, flexible work schedule

🎯 Autonomy: We expect you to own the problem and drive solutions

🛠️ Tools: Unity, Git, Discord, Asana/Trello

🌈 Culture: Direct communication, high trust, obligation to dissent

We value efficiency and expertise. You'll have the support you need, but we're looking for someone who can work independently and drive toward solutions.
