- Design, build, and maintain efficient, reusable, and reliable code for the web client
- Implement comprehensive monitoring and telemetry systems (e.g., Sentry/Crashlytics) to track application health and performance
- Optimize application performance through systematic profiling (CPU/GPU/memory), focusing on startup times, frame rates, and memory usage
- Design and build performance-critical SDK components.
- Contribute to the development process with improvements and suggestions, driving code quality throughout the production cycle
- Mentor other developers in best practices, actively participating in code reviews and pair programming
- Build creator tooling for web scene development (editor helpers, templates, CLIs)
What you'll bring to the role
- Strong background and professional experience in software engineering
- Proven experience with the Bevy engine
- Hands-on profiling and benchmarking experience (CPU/GPU/memory)
- CI/CD experience, including artifacts, semantic versioning, and feature flags
- Experience working with source control systems such as Git
It's a plus if you bring...
- Experience with web and WASM development
- Understanding of CRDT concepts and distributed systems
- Experience with other 3D engines like Unity, Godot, or custom engines
- Experience with memory management strategies across language boundaries
- Experience building multiplayer or networked applications
- Experience with technologies such as TypeScript, V8/Deno.
- Contributions to open-source projects, particularly Bevy or Rust ecosystems
What we offer
- A mission-driven organization shaping the future of open virtual worlds.
- A fully remote team with flexible working hours across time zones.
- Competitive compensation, including a long-term incentive plan denominated in MANA (Decentraland’s native token).
