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.

What You'll Do

  • 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.

Qualifications

  • 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).

Bonus Points

  • 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).

Benefits

  • Work from anywhere! VRChat is a 100% remote company offering flexible working hours in combination with core hours supporting real-time collaboration

  • Health Benefits

  • 401K for US & Group RRSP for Canadian Employees

  • Stock Options

  • Generous paid holiday schedule

  • Unlimited/flexible vacation time

  • Paid parental leave benefits

VRChat is an equal-opportunity employer, and we welcome applicants from all backgrounds. VRChat fosters a diverse, creative, and collaborative environment where anyone can contribute to any of the ongoing projects or direction of the roadmap at any time.
