At Improbable, we believe that the next revolution in entertainment and society will come from massive virtual worlds. They will create new economies and opportunities globally, changing not just how we play, but how we work and relate to each other. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to build the next generation of technologies for online multi-user games and simulations.

At Improbable, you are surrounded by people who want to improve everything and everyone around them, and who compel you to improve yourself. We’re motivated by the fulfilment of solving hard problems to achieve something profound and transformative.

Your Mission

Improbable is creating innovative online events and experiences that support 1000s of simultaneous players. Check out some of the latest examples! We want to further explore the possibilities of massive live events across a wide variety of fields including sports, education, music and art – all supported on any device.

MSquared is the core platform used to underpin all these experiences, and we need your help to make the product as useful and robust as possible. You’ll have the opportunity to help define the metaverse and it’s experience through integral work on the core platform.

Areas for Impact

• Create, expand and utilise core systems and workflows, collaborating regularly with other disciplines and projects that use the technology.
• Develop example content for the core systems that helps others use the technology – working out how to inspire without too much opinion to the underlying systems.
• Provide support for specific aspects of projects, working with teams to unlock their creativity.
• Offer valuable insights and feedback on the core platforms utility, highlighting where it should be expanded and improved, shaping what is possible.

We’d like to hear from you if you identify with the following

• Embrace Exploration: You’re open-minded with the willingness to explore uncharted territory, unique social experiences in virtual spaces and web3 frontiers.
• Quick Learner: You can swiftly adapt to new tools.
• Broad interests: You have experience or are eager to create interactive environments, social interactions, virtual economies, and emergent storytelling.
• Real-time Expertise: You grasp the significance of real-time interactions, persistent world mechanics, and their impact on user engagement, accessibility, and long-term involvement.
• Proactive: You’re self-driven and capable of managing your own tasks, not afraid to take the initiative.
• Problem Solver: You excel at identifying issues and actively seek knowledge to enhance future solutions.
• Engine Proficiency: The ideal candidate is comfortable using Unreal. You must have expertise in at least one game engine (e.g., Unreal Engine 4 or 5, Roblox, Second Life, Modding tools).

While we think the above experience could be important, we’re keen to hear from people that believe they have valuable experience to bring to the role. If you identify with the team and mission, but not all of our requirements, then please still apply.
