San Francisco, United States Zenith MMO Full time

We’re looking for a Senior Gameplay Engineer with a 6th sense for good game feel to help us explore brave new frontiers in VR interaction and gameplay. You must be an incredibly passionate game engineer with a penchant for nailing game feel and aesthetic.

Your design sensibilities for what feels good in VR gaming must be S-tier, and you must be able to show demonstrable success shipping successful products while being super fast at prototyping.

We encourage people with non-traditional backgrounds in modding and game development to apply. Some of our best engineers have come from the modding community. Maybe you’ve been modding Minecraft since you were in grade school – or making Roblox games / tinkering with Steam workshops.


Requirements
  • Shipped successful projects, either solo or on a team, where you owned a major system.
  • Experience working with advanced animation frameworks, especially systems that use a combination of different FK and IK solutions to produce AAA level animations.
  • Good taste and intuition on aesthetic and game-feel, validated by shipping successful titles.
  • Demonstrable experience creating and then owning core gameplay systems with minimal supervision.
  • Experience building tactile gaming experiences in VR.
Pluses
  • Building in multiple game engines.
  • Experience building and prototyping systems using LLMs and generative AI.
  • Materials and shaders.

We're working on solving the hardest problems in game development. We previously built the #1 VR game Zenith: The Last City on Steam and Quest. We've raised $40m+ to date and have been working in stealth on our next game as well as tools that will shape the future of game development.

We're funded by some of the best investors and gaming entrepreneurs in the world including Y Combinator, Makers Fund, Twitch COO Kevin Lin, and Kabam Cofounder Holly Liu and also the most successful VR Gaming Kickstarter of all time.

About The Team

At Ramen VR, we're a mix of DIY (Hackers/Modders/Dropouts), AAA (Riot, Activision Blizzard, Ubisoft), and tech (Google/Apple). We're looking for S-tier developers and technologists, regardless of your background.

Why Work At Ramen VR?

Create the Next Reality

Every startup claims they are changing the world. How often do you find one that's building an entirely new reality? Also, we're such a small team, that every team member makes real, tangible impact on our products and the future of the company.

We Love Games

Have a favorite game coming out? Take a day off on launch day. We'll even buy you the deluxe version of the game. Play the game, and just do a short write-up to teach us what you learned.

Company Retreats

Travel somewhere in the world with us, and live in a big house together for a week, all expenses paid. Spend time working, playing games, exploring a new country, and growing together.

Benefits

We offer unlimited PTO, full coverage health insurance (for you and dependents) if you're based in the US, an annual health & wellness stipend for non-US based folks, annual tech stipends to use towards VR/equipment and more.
