About Hyper

Hyper is building tomorrow's Disney by putting 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.

About the role

Hyper's web-app is going through a major re-vamp based on our last year of learnings. This role is for the first web-focused hire at Hyper on our team of six. You'll drive web projects and be responsible for the web app's development and growth as a member of the early team. You'll touch everything from the consumer-facing tools to internal tools that support the team. You should be comfortable with:

• Design implementations
• Written communication & presenting,
• Will be responsible for "owning" the engineering side of the web-product.

📈 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, & 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 end-to-end, or equivalent experience in public personal projects.

🌎 Hyper is ~6 people right now 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.

🔦 Bonus points if you already have an interest in things like graphics, and game engines.
