Unity Developer (Hybrid App · Unity + React Native Integration)

Unity Developer (Hybrid App · Unity + React Native Integration)
Location: Remote
Type: Contract (4–6 weeks, MVP)
Experience Level: Senior (3+ years Unity)
Start: ImmediateAbout the Project
We’re building a character-centric mobile app where users interact with a living animated character inside a stylized 3D world. The app uses a hybrid architecture:

• React Native → app shell, navigation, onboarding, tools
• Unity → immersive experience layer (character, world, animation, voice)
• Backend → AI, voice, and lightweight state

This role focuses on Unity development + seamless React Native stitching for the MVP.What You’ll Be Working On

• Character animation system (idle, emotional states, reactions)
• Character movement & interaction inside a stylized world
• AI-driven interaction (text + voice playback, states)
• Visual progression (bond / liveliness bar, glow, animation tiers)
• Lightweight quest presentation (visual prompts, reactions)
• Embedding Unity as a view inside a React Native app
• Handling Unity React Native communication (events, lifecycle)
• Polishing transitions so the experience feels seamless

Responsibilities

• Own the Unity experience layer end-to-end
• Integrate provided modular character assets and environments
• Implement animation state machines and emotional feedback
• Consume backend APIs for AI chat, voice, progression, and quests
• Work with the RN team to embed Unity using native view integration
• Handle pause/resume when RN modals (e.g., doodle UI, journaling UI) appear
• Deliver a production-ready Unity build for iOS & Android
• Participate in basic QA and handoff documentation

Required Skills

• Strong Unity (C#) experience (mobile-focused)
• Experience with character animation systems (Animator / state machines)
• Comfortable integrating REST APIs in Unity
• Experience embedding Unity into native apps or hybrid apps
• Understanding of app lifecycle, pause/resume, audio handling
• Ability to collaborate with RN and backend developers

Nice to Have

• Prior experience with React Native Unity integration
• Experience with voice playback, and audio-driven animation
• Experience with modular character systems
• Shipped mobile apps or games

What This Role Is NOT

• Not responsible for backend development
• Not responsible for React Native UI implementation
• Not responsible for auth, payments, or analytics

This role is focused on experience quality, not app plumbing.Timeline & Scope
Duration: 4–6 weeks

• Scope: MVP
• Clear, well-defined requirements (no open-ended feature creep)
• Potential for future phases if MVP is successful

How to Apply
Please include:

• Brief summary of Unity experience
• Examples of character-based or animated projects (if available)
• Any experience with hybrid apps (Unity + native / RN)
• Availability for the next 4–6 weeks

Why This Project

• Clear architecture and scope
• No chaotic feature creep
• Focus on quality and emotional experience
• Real product launch, not a throwaway prototype

Job Type: Contract
Contract length: 6 weeks

Pay: Rs50,000.00 - Rs70,000.00 per week
