SAOTA VR - Unity Developers + 3D Generalists/Artists [CT][Paid]

ddutchie

Hello All.

I am an Architect/Software Prototyper heading up a Virtual/Mixed/Experimental Reality Lab at SAOTA. I am looking for Unity developers and 3D Generalists who want to shape the future.

SAOTA is a world renown architecture firm located in Cape Town.

SAOTA is a firm of architectural designers and technologists including in-house CGI and marketing teams, as well as a strong support staff...With roots in South Africa, SAOTA now has an international footprint with projects on five continents.

SAOTA VR is my first project for my new startup, a architectural ecosystem I am creating that develops VR/MR apps - currently for architecture.

Looking around the Lab you'll see arduinos, a quadrocopter, some Vives and on some days the odd mouse and keyboard.

We create many different tools and apps, ranging from websites , mobile tools and in house workflow apps to packaged VR solutions using the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift + Touch.

These are paid internships (Cape Town) - a 3 month probation period if you will - that can easily - with some dedication - lead to a permanent role.
I have some positions that I would like to fill with talented and like-minded youth.

Coding Skills:

3D Maths will help you or you will get lost.
Shader Development
Mainly C#, but we also:
- web dev
- JS
... so coders.

3D Generalisting Skills:

Adobe
Autodesk
Animation
Bones, Skins and Weights.
Hardsurface Modelling (ArchViz)
Jedi's of Optimization.
Quixel, Substance.... Hand Painted?
Photogrammetry
etc....

Currently using Unity, but I will adopt Unreal and other engines when time allows.

We will branch out into other industries - movie and gaming are next.
I am already working on a VR game .
and many other things.

Please send a CV and PDF/Link of your portfolio to recruit@saota.com

I want to know what you've done, what you can do, and what you want to do.
List some skills.

Add " [VR Lab] " to your subject so I know its you.

Time Travelers are welcomed back.

Regards

I know this is quite unrelated to most of your post... But that "Stranger Things" themed title image would make a really great colour palette and mood for your VR survival game (at night-time I mean).

Also, putting the Upside Down in your survival game would be incredible.

We now also develop games.
There is place for animators.

Hey just wanted to know what the salary range is for the internships.
If you don't want to specify in the open it's all good.

Oh and I have 3000 hours on Dota, played tonight if that tells you something haha

This is a 3 month paid probation. After which a proper contract and salary can be discussed. I am building a startup, SAOTA VR is the first project. Equity is also on the table.
