Platform Engineer / Simulation Platform Architect (Unity)

Research & Development

Europe (Remote)

June 27, 2025

Our client is a US-founded early-stage startup with a European R&D team, developing a next-generation VR training simulator powered by generative AI and learning engineering. Their mission is to make learning more accessible, adaptive, and effective through immersive, real-time personalized training experiences.

We are looking for a Simulation Platform Architect to design and build the core of this platform — a robust scenario management platform that drives adaptive learning experiences in VR. You'll collaborate with engineers and learning designers to turn educational goals into scalable tech solutions.

To be successful, you have to be excited by the fast-paced environment of a start-up, enjoy a dynamic and agile atmosphere, and possess a versatile set of technical skills. If you are passionate about leveraging technology to improve education and training outcomes and have a vision for how dynamic content can transform learning experiences, we would love to hear from you.

Responsibilities

  • Drive the design, development, and ongoing refinement of a scalable scenario management platform, ensuring that it meets the company’s needs for creating adaptive learning experiences;
  • Develop robust APIs for seamless integration between the scenario management platform, the VR application, and future third-party applications;
  • Create and maintain intuitive tooling and documentation to empower internal VR developers and content creators to build, manage, and deploy learning scenarios;
  • Collaborate closely with VR engineers, learning designers, and domain experts to translate educational goals into technical requirements for the platform and its features;
  • Ensure the platform's stability, performance, and quality through comprehensive testing, code reviews, and adherence to best practices in software development.

Requirements

  • A strong portfolio showcasing platform or complex API projects;
  • Proficiency in one or more programming languages (e.g., C#, C++, Java, Python, Node.js, Go);
  • Solid experience with API design and development (e.g., RESTful APIs, WebSocket, GraphQL);
  • Experience with database technologies (e.g., SQL, NoSQL) and data modeling;
  • Understanding of software architecture principles, microservices, and scalable system design;
  • Essential: Familiarity with Unity development (C#) and understanding of Unity’s development workflows to ensure the Scenario Management Platform is developer-friendly for our VR team. Experience with VR development is a plus;
  • Strong communication skills in English, with the ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical team members;
  • Experience working in or with teams from different cultural backgrounds, with an appreciation for cross-cultural communication dynamics;
  • A collaborative mindset to effectively work with a diverse team, coupled with the ability to work independently and manage priorities in a fast-paced, remote environment;
  • A genuine interest in using technology to enhance learning and education.

Bonus points for

  • Experience with VR development;
  • Experience with the development of multiuser applications is a plus;
  • Familiarity with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) and CI/CD practices is a plus.

We offer excellent benefits, including but not limited to

  • 10 working days of annual paid vacation;
  • 10 paid days off per year for national USA holidays, which can be discussed and arranged individually;
  • An opportunity to build a product from the ground up and contribute to its growth and commercialization;
  • An important role that empowers you to influence the decisions, architecture, and product implementation;
  • The flexibility of a fully remote position, with the autonomy to shape your work environment and schedule;
  • Significant opportunities for professional growth and skill development;
  • A collaborative and inclusive work environment where your contributions are valued.
