Technical Game Designer
We're building ground-breaking spatially intelligent real-time experiences - body tracking, interactive 3D, computer vision for the devices people already own. Join an elite team that’s shipping regularly. Work from an awesome Frank Gehry-designed loft on Venice Beach.
What You’ll Do at Spatial Magic
As a Technical Game Designer you will be a core creative and technical contributor, combining full-body game development with real-time computer vision and AI. Your expertise will be crucial in creating the compelling and intuitive experiences that define our platform.
- Create fun and effective core loops with magic moment-to-moment feel.
- Develop and architect high-performance game features, mechanics, and systems for spatial computing environments.
- Optimize graphics and gameplay performance to ensure smooth, high-fidelity experiences on real-time platforms.
- Integrate and leverage real-time data from our AI and computer vision pipeline (3D tracking, motion analysis) directly into game logic and visualization.
- Collaborate closely with our team to translate cutting-edge technology into fun, responsive, and immersive gameplay.
- Research, prototype, and implement innovative game and graphics techniques unique to full-body spatial computing and AI-driven rendering.
Who You Are
We want people who love to reason from first-principles, have a bias for building over having endless meetings, and are excited to bring new culture shaping products to life.
- 5+ years of experience in professional game development, interactive applications, or real-time simulation, with a focus on core game design and development.
- Strong expertise in Game Engines (Unity preferred), with a deep understanding of game architecture, performance profiling, and optimization on various platforms.
- Experience with real-time physics and physic-based gameplay, animation systems, or advanced visual effects programming.
- Knowledge of shaders (HLSL/GLSL).
- A strong passion for creating groundbreaking gaming experiences and pushing the boundaries of interaction at the intersection of spatial computing and gaming.
Nice to Have
- Prior experience integrating computer vision frameworks into a live game environment.
- Familiarity with the challenges and techniques of developing for spatial computing or XR platforms.
- An interest in spatial intelligence, music and gaming.
