This role is for a leadership position on the early team at Hyper Online. You'll be heavily involved in product decisions and be directly responsible for key technical decisions when it comes to building new services, features, or solving problems. You'll be expected to learn fast and have an understanding of new technologies while still being pragmatic about shipping quickly at an early-stage startup. Ideally, you've worked on an early-stage team before and have your own projects you can share.Your initial focus and area of ownership will be the backend services that currently power our social network – from the REST API to the real-time functionality. In the future, this may expand to areas like deploying new machine learning services, platforms, and so on.You'll help define and build great services that power Hyper and its ecosystem. From consumer-facing products to business-facing tools.You'll be joining a small team focused on a fast-growing product. We're interested in a variety of things from augmented and virtual reality to games and interactive media – but our goal is to put Disney & Pixar level tools in the hands of everyday avatar creators.You should have 5+ years of experience building and shipping software, or equivalent experience in public personal projects.Hyper is currently ~6 people and we're fully remote, with a few folks in California. California is still preferred right now, but we're happy to talk with folks from anywhere.You'll get to look at 3D art all day and participate in the development of one of the fastest-growing consumer segments at an early-stage company.About Hyper
Hyper is building tomorrow's Disney by putting motion capture and AI-powered avatar storytelling tools into everyone's hands. Avatar content (also known as VTubing) has broken into the multi-billion-view-per-month category on places like Twitch and YouTube.This has given a new group of people the power to tell stories and present themselves on their own terms online while also protecting their IRL identities. But VTubing is expensive and complicated: it usually requires a PC, custom models, and specialized hardware. Hyper (YCW21) is an avatar social network (currently on iOS) that makes it easy to start making avatar content without the expensive PC, motion capture hardware, or specialized software. Just build an avatar, shoot, and use our tooling to start telling your story right on your phone.We're a Seed stage startup and just closed our latest round of funding (more details soon). Our app is consistently in the 100's on the iOS Social charts over the last year, and we've helped hundreds of thousands of creators build avatars and make content so far.App Store:
