Help define and build the future for your favourite characters, stories and products in gaming and the metaverse. You’ll work on building the Layer marketplace and the tools to make accessing licensed IP easy for game creators globally.
Layer is on a mission to connect the creator economy with the gaming economy. Coming out of the Winter ‘21 Startmate (https://www.startmate.com/) cohort and now backed by some of Australia’s top, globally-focused venture funds we’re on a journey to help all the world’s creators work with all the world’s games.
Our team has worked with top technical talent at leading companies including Go1, and Propeller Aero. We know the feeling that great engineering brings to a company and that it starts with the people and nurturing the culture.
You’ll work closely with our founders and team of gaming and licensing veterans to help shape and build the future of our products. You’d spend your time developing and improving on things including:
…as well as contributing directly to the product strategy and creative vision of Layer.
You’ll spend lots of time brainstorming on hard problems, prototyping different ideas and responding to what we learn from customers. You won’t be churning through tickets in a backlog — you’ll be helping to architect entirely new features and figuring out exactly how to build them.
We’re still small which means that even though we each have our areas of expertise, we all wear many hats. You’ll know when it’s possible to move fast vs when it’s important to sweat the small stuff. We’re looking for an engineer, but you’d also help out with things like:
You’ll be comfortable working in a greenfield environment and making lots of decisions. More important than specific technical skills is that you’re a strong problem solver who loves to learn — we’re not experts in everything and we don’t expect you to be either.
We want you to be a big part of ensuring that fun, curiosity and execution are the foundation of how we do engineering at Layer. You’ll also be comfortable supporting and providing direction to a growing engineering team.
As we build our product from the ground up, you’ll enjoy having end-to-end life-cycle ownership over what you’re building, from development right through to production and beyond. Your opinion on architectural, stack and design decisions will be highly valued and crucial to ensuring we can deliver on the vision for Layer.
We don’t care if you went to school, we just care about what you can do and how you do it. We’re makers and tinkerers, so as long as you love to build awesome stuff you’ll fit right in.
Bonus points for specific experience with one or more of the following:
This role is full time. We have an office in Brisbane and generally spend most days of the week there because it speeds up communication and it’s more fun. We’d ask that you plan to overlap with us at least 3 days per week. You choose the days. If you think you’re the right person but are not in Brisbane, we’d still love to hear from you. We’re global from day one with users across the US, Europe and Asia-Pacific and expect our team to reflect that more as we grow. At the end of the day all that matters to us is that we’re making progress on what we’re building together.
The salary for this position is based on experience and will reflect the market. Ownership is important to us and you’ll receive equity as part of an Employee Share Options Plan.
As part of your application, we’ll ask you to put something together specifically for this position that tells us why we’re a great fit for each other, and what you see the future being like if we work together. Tell us what you’re excited about in the industry these days, and what you’re betting on for the future. Is there a project or feature you’d love for us to build together? Tell us about that too!
It can be in whatever format you like — a piece of writing, a website, a slide deck, however you think you can best paint your picture. We don’t ask for your resume but that doesn’t mean we’re not interested in what you’ve worked on in the past, we’re just leaving it up to you to tell your story the way you want to tell it.
We are looking for someone to start ASAP but can be flexible for the right person. Can’t wait to hear from you!
