UNISON is a dedicated team of innovators from renowned organizations such as Meta, Sony, and Apple, along with esteemed research institutions like the IARAI. Located in the SF Bay Area and supported by some of the most prominent investors globally, we are striving to develop products that we would enthusiastically recommend to our loved ones.
We are in the process of creating a unified reality headset that empowers users to immerse themselves in and emerge from virtual realms with enhanced value. We envision the interplay between virtual and physical environments as a means of creation, storytelling, and sharing, rather than a barrier to your overall lived experience.
About the Role:
Our dynamic early-stage team is in search of a Backend Architect to spearhead the design and development of our online collaborative platform's backend framework. The ideal candidate will possess a robust background in crafting and executing scalable, high-performance backend systems that facilitate real-time interaction and collaboration. This position entails a blend of strategic foresight, technology selection, and hands-on development, ensuring our platform can adeptly support dynamic user interactions during collaborative sessions.
Your Responsibilities:
- Design and develop a scalable, secure, and efficient backend framework for real-time online collaboration, with a focus on enhancing performance and user experience.
- Establish and implement robust authentication and authorization services to safeguard user data and ensure privacy.
- Supervise the deployment of database solutions and data management strategies that guarantee swift, reliable access to data across distributed environments.
- Craft and implement real-time communication protocols and services, enabling seamless user collaboration and interaction.
- Work closely with web front-end and client developers to ensure efficient and reliable integration between client-side applications and server-side services.
- Stay informed about emerging technologies and architectural patterns that could improve platform performance, scalability, and functionality.
- Ensure adherence to security best practices and data protection regulations.
- Provide technical leadership and mentorship to the development team, nurturing a culture of excellence and continuous improvement.
- 10+ years of comprehensive backend development experience.
- 5+ years of demonstrated experience as a Backend Architect or in a comparable role, with a strong portfolio of scalable, high-performance backend systems.
- Expertise in server-side programming languages (e.g., Go, Python, PHP) and frameworks pertinent to real-time communication and web services development.
- Experience with database design and management, encompassing both SQL and NoSQL technologies.
- Familiarity with the storage of three-dimensional data in backend systems.
- Knowledge of authentication, security protocols, and data encryption methodologies.
- Familiarity with cloud services (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure) and their application to scalable backend architectures.
- Strong distributed debugging capabilities.
- Excellent problem-solving skills, with a creative and analytical approach to architecture design and development.
- Strong leadership qualities and experience managing or guiding development teams.
- Effective problem-solving abilities and the capacity to work both independently and collaboratively.
- Outstanding communication skills for clear documentation and technical explanations.
- Willingness to travel, as necessary, up to 10%.
- Experience with debugging C++ for low-latency operations.
- Applied Linear Algebra for 3D applications, with familiarity in 3D concepts.
UNISON provides competitive salaries and equity packages, granting all employees an ownership stake in what we are diligently building. You will also benefit from flexible PTO, a 401k plan with employer matching, comprehensive 100% employer-paid health benefits, and more.
We are expanding rapidly, so if you are interested in joining us but do not see a position that aligns with your interests or if your experience does not fully meet the criteria, please feel free to reach out. We are eager to connect.
