Masterpiece Studio makes it effortless to create 3D content from concept to animation. We harness the power of virtual reality and machine learning to let creatives easily create in 3D.

Our software makes it easy to create 3D content for games, animation, and education today, but just as important, our software is a fundamental requirement to build the metaverse of tomorrow.

Our mission is to help people easily create 3D content of whatever they can imagine.

We are looking for team members that are creative, fearless, collaborative, and problem solvers who want to help us create the new world of 3D content creation.

The Role

In this role, the Senior User Interface Programmer-Prototyper will create rapid prototypes to allow fast iteration and evaluation of new experimental UX concepts. This will include new interaction paradigms and tool affordances.

As a member of our UX team, you will work cross-functionally to rapidly prototype innovative UX solutions that make 3D creation in an immersive environment intuitive and natural. Once the functionalities feel right, you will be asked to re-code them for integration into the main application.

Our Senior User Interface Programmer-Prototyper will be accountable for activities including:

• Creating prototypes in Unity that solve UX issues or innovate new approaches for 3D creation in VR
• Providing translated functional and efficient code from prototypes to the production code base
• Maintaining and improving codebase to be accessible to Designers for adjustments
• Archival of Prototypes codebase for later use
• Participating in the UX team’s ideation, design, and research process

The Day to Day
We suspect our next hire will accomplish their goals by:

• Creating prototypes in Unity that can be tested, adjusted, and archived to be re-used later in time
• Building UI code base to be evolved over time
• Maintaining UI code to be regularly submitted to the main development pipeline and keeping a prototype archive alive.
• Communicating closely with development teams to understand what coding best practices they can employ
• Working with UX Lead, Product Manager, UX team, and Development team to understand the product goals, known issues, and feedback
• Working with the UX Team to identify the highest value UX problems to solve and developing plans for the rapid prototypes
• Fostering a strong, collaborative design practice and helping in the creation of a thriving culture of inclusion and belonging
• Applying a user-centered design approach and rapidly helping to test and iterate on designs if needed

What we believe our next hire will bring to the business:

• 5+ years of experience in Unity UI design and construction for XR apps
• Demonstrated strong expertise in:
  • Unity 2020+
  • VR-XR interaction toolkit
  • Unity UI Toolkit/UI builder
  • Unity XML and USS

• Communication and presentation skills
• XR UI design and construction for PC and Android

Familiar with:

• User testing process
• Unity Animation (technical)
• 3D formats in Unity (technical)
• Unity Shaders & Shadergraph technical knowledge
• Rapid prototyping vs production

It would be beneficial (though not required) if you have a working knowledge of:

• HTML and CSS
• Agile Scrum, XP, and/or Continuous Delivery
• Figma and Miro
• Firebase
• Event and data-driven architectures

In a perfect world (though also not required), you would be familiar with:

• Understanding of 3D asset creation and animation (Blender, ZBrush, Maya, MotionBuilder, etc)
