About the Role
We are seeking a Bevy Engineer to drive the development of our web client from prototype to production. Our ideal candidate is excited about creating truly memorable experiences for the community, has a generalist mindset, and brings background in the gaming industry and game engine development. They should also approach challenging problems with an open attitude and curiosity.
Decentraland is an open protocol that can be accessed through multiple clients—the reference client is developed by the Decentraland Foundation, while these new implementations are community-funded and built with open-source technologies. You’ll help establish the technical foundation, release processes, and performance standards for our web platform. This role is perfect for someone who excels at building robust, performant applications and has a passion for creating smooth, responsive experiences.

- Design, build, and maintain efficient, reusable, and reliable code for the web client
- Implement comprehensive monitoring and telemetry systems (e.g., Sentry/Crashlytics) to track application health and performance
- Optimize application performance through systematic profiling (CPU/GPU/memory), focusing on startup times, frame rates, and memory usage
- Design and build performance-critical SDK components.
- Contribute to the development process with improvements and suggestions, driving code quality throughout the production cycle
- Mentor other developers in best practices, actively participating in code reviews and pair programming
- Build creator tooling for web scene development (editor helpers, templates, CLIs)
What you'll bring to the role
- Strong background and professional experience in software engineering
- Proven experience with the Bevy engine
- Hands-on profiling and benchmarking experience (CPU/GPU/memory)
- CI/CD experience, including artifacts, semantic versioning, and feature flags
- Experience working with source control systems such as Git
It's a plus if you bring...
- Experience with web and WASM development
- Understanding of CRDT concepts and distributed systems
- Experience with other 3D engines like Unity, Godot, or custom engines
- Experience with memory management strategies across language boundaries
- Experience building multiplayer or networked applications
- Experience with technologies such as TypeScript, V8/Deno.
- Contributions to open-source projects, particularly Bevy or Rust ecosystems
What we offer
- A mission-driven organization shaping the future of open virtual worlds.
- A fully remote team with flexible working hours across time zones.
- Competitive compensation, including a long-term incentive plan denominated in MANA (Decentraland’s native token).
- 29 days of paid time off per year.
- Paid sick leave and parental leave.
