Sr. Software Engineer
Weaver is a technology-driven entertainment company focused on the convergence of AI,
blockchain, and interactive entertainment. We build groundbreaking products for a Web3 world.
We’re a passionate group of technologists, game designers, and storytellers who like to think BIG. Ideas can always be scaled down, but nothing great ever came from thinking small. Well, except for nanotechnology, that’s kind of a big deal... oh, and munchkins are pretty freakin’ delicious... ooooh, and what about those genetically modified miniature ponies? OMG. Soooo cute!
Anyhoo, the point is, our mission is to make magical products that blow people’s minds. And when you’re in the mind-blowing business, you need a diverse team of talented people to make it happen.
We are seeking a Sr. Software Engineer with a proven track record of shipping high-quality experiences using the Unity Game Engine. You will be extending our Unity-based game engine and next gen AI systems to help us create an amazing (and truly delightful) game experience. You will join a tight-knit team of talented engineers who are welcoming of their new peers and who look forward to out-of-the-box thinking. We’re passionate about our software and the games we build on it. We weigh talent and enthusiasm as much as experience as we look to fill this role.
If this sounds interesting, please get in touch. We’d love you to join us in shaping the future of entertainment.
Weaver is headquartered in New York City, but you can live and work wherever you want. We hope to build a diverse and inclusive company and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, walks of life, and perspectives. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race; creed; color; religion; national origin; sex; age; disability; sexual orientation; gender identity or expression; genetic predisposition or carrier status; veteran, marital, or citizenship status; or any other status protected by law.
