Unity Mid+\Senior Developer (mobile, MVP stage)

Unity Mid+\Senior Generalist Developer (Mobile, MVP Stage — full-time) — Exergame with Camera + ML
 

Hi! I’m Anna, founder of EASYFEET — the company you see on this profile. I’ve recently launched my 2nd project successfully, and now I’m looking for a strong Mid+\Senior Unity Developer to join our MVP team.

Project Overview

We’re building a mobile exergame inspired by a classic kids’ jumping game. Players jump, while the app tracks their movements via the phone's camera using a ML model. Exergame + outdoor social play + physical device designed for kids.

We have:

• Completed PoC (camera + ML logic validated)
• Selected ML model and not verified tracking accuracy
• Defined MVP architecture with the CTO
• Moving from Flutter PoC to Unity MVP for better performance, scalability and long-term growth
  
  Role Overview

You will be the main Unity engineer responsible for transforming the MVP architecture into a real, playable mobile build.

You will work closely with the CTO, Game Designer, and Rive/UI designer.

Key Responsibilities

MVP Development (Core Unity Work)

• Build the full MVP gameplay loop in Unity (mobile game logic, pattern engine, scoring logic)
• Implement screen states, simple navigation and UI interactions
• Integrate animations (Rive or Unity equivalents)
• Handle switching between scenes/game states
• Implement simple progress saving (PlayerPrefs-level)
• Produce mobile builds (Android first, iOS optional)

Architecture & Code Quality

• Build a lightweight, clean, scalable architecture for MVP
  — no monsters, no over-engineering, but no spaghetti either
• Keep responsibilities separated:
  MonoBehaviours → services → ScriptableObjects → gameplay controllers
• Maintain readable, maintainable code that future team members can easily extend

Integration Work

• Integrate existing camera + ML module through a prepared API
• Handle camera permissions, device orientation, performance optimization

Performance

• Maintain stable FPS on mid-range phones
• Use Unity Profiler to debug memory, CPU, GPU issues
• Optimize for short gameplay sessions

Collaboration

• Work closely with CTO to refine architecture
• Sync with Game Designer on gameplay implementation
• Integrate UI/UX designed screens into Unity
• Communicate blockers clearly and propose solutions

🧠 About You

You're a Mid-Senior Unity Developer who:

Required

• 3+ years of professional Unity experience
• Experience shipping mobile games (Android/iOS)
• Fluent in:
  • gameplay programming
  • UI systems
  • scene/state management
  • simple data persistence
• Confident with:
  • performance profiling (FPS, memory, CPU/GPU)
  • integrating SDKs / plugins (camera, analytics, backend, sensors)
• Can work independently:
  from "blank scene" → to "working gameplay" → to "mobile build"
• Writes clean, readable, modular code
• Can explain technical decisions simply and clearly
• Comfortable in a startup environment with async communication

Nice to Have

• Experience with mobile real-time camera access
• Experience with ML model outputs (TensorFlow/ MediaPipe / MoveNet)
• Experience with Rive or state-machine-based animations
   

Engagement

• Full time, project base
• Duration MVP stage: 3–6 months
• Daily sync with Tech Lead + async communication in between
• Start: 1 week
• First deliverable expected during Week 2

Growth Opportunity

If we work well together and you successfully deliver the MVP you can transition into a full-time Unity Lead role. As we scale toward Seed funding, larger team, and long-term product development we are looking for someone who wants to grow with the product, not just finish a contract.
Why This Is Interesting

• You’ll be part of creating a new genre of kids’ exergames
• You’ll build the first real version of the product - not maintenance, but creation
• You’ll work directly with a CTO experienced in game architecture
• The game includes camera, ML, real movement tracking, animated feedback, physical device — a rare and exciting mix
• Your work defines the foundation for a future high-scale Unity product
