Ideal candidates will have:

• REQUIRED: Excellent knowledge of and experience using Unity
• REQUIRED: Experience programming in C# on game projects
• REQUIRED: Example of at least one finished game project, either personal or professional/commercial, that we can evaluate in some form. Please do not apply if you do not have a game project to show, and please specify your exact contributions to any non-solo projects.
• REQUIRED: Comfortable working on wide range of programming tasks ranging from gameplay mechanics to menu/GUI/UX implementation

For this position you MUST have a completed game project (either personal or commercial) for us to reference.
