Gaming Jobs at ZTX Foundation

Hello from ZTX!

We are a crypto metaverse initiative jointly incubated by ZEPETO — Asia’s largest web2 digital world platform with over 320 million registered users — and leading global blockchain organizations including Jump Crypto.

Building on the Solana network with mass adoption in mind, we are creating a web-based 3D open world with varying levels of gamification integrated as well as opportunities for users to monetize via ownership of digital assets and social interaction. Our goal is to empower creators and communities to build, play, and earn — a world where users of all backgrounds can chart their journeys into a world beyond the physical.

We are looking for a passionate top-class game server engineer who can help bring our vision into reality. If you know all the details of how backend systems work for a large-scale metaverse and massively multiplayer online (MMO) games, believe scalable backend systems play a critical role in the metaverse experience in the next decade, and want to seize the opportunity of building what could possibly become one of the largest crypto-centric metaverse platforms in the world, we look forward to hearing from you!

What you will be doing:

• Work closely with CTO, VP of Engineering, designers, game producers, and engineers to implement our open world metaverse experiences.
• Design and implement the communication protocol between Unity client and server.
• Design and implement game state management service.
• Design and implement leaderboard backend functionality.
• Interact with blockchain engineers and collectively decide what components should be on-chain vs off-chain
• Architect and implement off-chain stateless and stateful service components.
• Collaborate closely with in-house game developers to implement world game logic on the server side.
• Partner with SRE to ensure smooth deployment in production.
• Research and prototype new and upcoming metaverse technologies.

What we look for in you:

• 7+ years developing multiplayer game server or alike
• Clear understanding of multiplayer game framework such as colyseus
• Great knowledge of how client and server should be designed from an anti-abuse perspective
• Deep understanding of database technologies and associated backend architecture
• Extensive experience shipping consumer-facing applications
• Meticulousness in the code you produce, including how you measure success of each commit
• Excellent communication skills that enable you explain what your code change means to both technical and non-technical audiences
• Passion in building an open metaverse platform that onboards millions of web2 users to web3!

Bonus point if:

• You have experience in cloud rendering related technologies.
• You have good knowledge of Unity WebGL client development and its complexity.
• You’re familiar with the crypto ecosystem (DeFi, NFTs, identity, staking, or more).
• You've worked in a startup environment.
• You speak and write in Korean.

We offer:

• Competitive salary & token grants
• Flexible work environment (100% remote)
