About Our Client:
Our client is a technology company specializing in the development of an end-to-end platform for creating, managing, and deploying volumetric avatars and videos. They are revolutionizing digital identity with proprietary AI-powered 3D avatar technology that transforms 2D images into hyper-realistic, animatable 3D avatars for gaming, social media, enterprise, and generative AI. Their applications are available on major platforms, including iOS, Android, Steam, and Viveport.
Job Summary:
We are seeking an experienced, hands-on Unity & Frontend Team Lead to lead and scale our Web and Mobile 3D development teams. This role is critical in driving the evolution of our products from MVP to market-ready, AI-native applications, combining Web 3D, Mobile 3D, AI-driven avatars, AR, and volumetric video.
You will work closely with the CTO to define architecture, build and mentor high-performing teams, and deliver next-generation 3D experiences across web and mobile platforms. This role requires both strong technical depth and strategic leadership, with a mindset geared toward scalability, performance, and AI-assisted development.
Key Responsibilities:
- Technical Leadership & Architecture
- Lead and mentor Web and Mobile 3D engineering teams through code reviews, technical guidance, and development plans.
- Design scalable, high-performance architectures for Web (React, Three.js) and Mobile (Unity, C# / MAUI) applications.
- Define and evolve core 3D systems for avatars, animations, volumetric video, AR, and interactive experiences.
- Ensure performance optimization (e.g. 60 FPS targets, memory management, mobile constraints).
- Oversee CI/CD pipelines, deployment stability, and application reliability across platforms.
- Product Development & Core Systems
- Web 3D Platform:
> Architect and enhance immersive web products using React, Three.js, and custom shaders.
> Optimize proprietary Web Players for 3D avatars, volumetric video, and heavy media workloads.
> Supervise WebAR features and browser-based 3D mini-games.
- Mobile 3D Applications:
> Lead the development of Unity-based mobile apps transitioning from MVP to market-ready products.
> Develop and oversee systems for animation playback, point clouds, mesh generation, compression, and networking.
> Guide implementation of UI in Unity based on Figma designs.
> Support native integrations and plugin development for mobile device capabilities.
- AI & Advanced Technology Integration
- Drive the adoption of AI-assisted development workflows (code generation, prototyping, testing).
- Integrate Generative AI technologies such as voice cloning, LLMs, and AI-driven avatar systems.
- Collaborate with AI teams to ensure seamless integration of AI models into Web and Mobile products.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Work closely with AI, Backend, Web, and Mobile teams to ensure system alignment and smooth integrations.
- Partner with commercial and product teams to align the technical roadmap with B2B and B2C market needs.
- Ensure analytics, performance metrics, and scalability considerations are embedded into the product roadmap.
