Technical Director Unreal Engine

Our Team

We’re a highly technical team that’s working on the Otherside, Yuga Labs’ 3D metaverse. We work with other best-in-class teams around the world, and pride ourselves in being able to find innovative solutions to the unique challenges presented at the intersection of web2, gaming, and web3.

 

Who We’re Looking For

Scale should excite you, not scare you. We’re forging into new territory, and we’re looking for fellow intrepid explorer/builder dual-class adventurers to join our party.
