WE wilke experience

We are looking for a talented 3D Artist to join us on an exciting VR project focused on recreating a historical monastery environment.

🧩 Project Overview

You will recreate a historic monastery ruin as a stylized 3D environment for VR.
The focus lies on:

• Rebuilding walls and architectural structures
• Designing the ground with visible archaeological excavations
• Translating real-world references into a cohesive artistic 3D scene

All necessary reference materials and source data are provided.

The desired visual direction is stylized realism, similar to environments seen in modern video games (e.g. The Last of Us), with a strong emphasis on atmosphere and storytelling.

🎯 Your Responsibilities

• Create high-quality 3D models based on real-world references
• Design and texture environment assets (walls, ground, ruins)
• Ensure a consistent artistic and atmospheric look
• Optimize assets for VR performance
• Collaborate with our development team (Unity-based)

✅ Requirements

• Proven experience as a 3D Artist / Environment Artist
• Strong portfolio with environment work (preferably stylized realism)
• Good sense for aesthetics, lighting, and composition
• Experience with tools like Blender, Maya, Substance, ZBrush or similar
• Understanding of game-ready asset creation
• Experience with Unity is a plus
• Ability to work independently and bring creative input

🌟 Nice to Have

• Experience in VR projects
• Background in historical or architectural environments
• Basic understanding of optimization for real-time applications

🤝 What We Offer

• Work on a unique immersive VR experience
• Creative freedom within a clear artistic vision
• Collaboration with an experienced, forward-thinking team
• Flexible, remote work setup
• Potential for long-term collaboration

PROJECT: We are building 4connection – a modern, feature-rich messenger combining group messaging, interest-based communities and serious dating/matching features. Think Telegram meets thoughtful matchmaking – with accessibility, youth protection and strong encryption built in from the start. The Rust backend handles message routing, user matching algorithms, group management, API and the web presence. This is a client-commissioned project with a clear product vision.

REQUIREMENTS: 1+ years of experience in C, C++ or another systems-level language. Understanding of memory management (stack vs. heap, pointers, ownership concepts). Basic knowledge of network programming (TCP/IP, WebSockets, HTTP). Interest in learning Rust – we will train you, supported by AI-assisted development with Claude. Clean, readable, maintainable code is non-negotiable. Experience with Git and Linux. Good English skills (reading and writing).

NICE TO HAVE: Any Rust experience (even personal projects). Experience with async programming (Tokio, epoll, io_uring). Experience with matching algorithms or recommendation systems. Knowledge of Firebase integration. Experience with accessibility standards or youth protection regulations.

RESPONSIBILITIES: Implementing the backend architecture under direct guidance of the technical lead. Building message routing, group management and user matching systems. Implementing interest-based and dating match algorithms. Building the persistence layer and REST/WebSocket API. Integrating with Firebase and third-party services. Collaborating closely with Android and iOS developers on API design. Writing testable, documented code that any equivalent specialist can take over immediately.

WE OFFER: Fully remote work. A small, focused core team of 4 developers – no corporate overhead. Direct collaboration with an experienced technical lead who mentors rather than manages. AI-assisted development with Claude as a fixed part of the workflow. The chance to shape a backend architecture from the ground up. Clients will be released as open source – you are building something visible. Fair compensation, long-term collaboration. Nextcloud and Redmine for collaboration – open-source tooling.

Tech Stack: Rust, Tokio, Axum/Actix-Web, Firebase, Linux, Git, Redmine, Nextcloud
