About the role

Take charge of the Gym Class VR's AI/NPC gameplay roadmap. Build the future of interaction with immersive, 3D bots in virtual reality.

Email founders @ gymclassvr.com with example of work shipping NPC systems for mobile or VR (eg - resource-constrained environments). Ideal candidate has experience with Unity, collaborating with animators, and has shipped a variety of systems into the wild (behavior trees, motion matching, behavioral cloning, etc) - and can pick the right tool for the job.

Role will start with direct contribution, but we're looking for someone to build a squad around as this roadmap scales.
