Context:
We're working with a gaming studio comprised of 7 or so folks that's contracted with a FAANG company. Their focus is purely on researching/prototype games and game mechanics. Anything they discover that "works" gets shipped off to another team to be re-written / incorporated into other games so they're not shipping anything for public consumption.
Their focus so far has mostly been on unity development though they're branching out into prototyping things that would involve AI agents and more traditional backend web apis and looking for an engineer to help them with this. Nice to have would be game dev xp, mobile xp, FE web xp, embedded xp but none of those are requirements.
