Unity Programmer

Starsoft is looking for a driven, talented Unity programmer to help us reach the finish line on our first game, Savior.

Savior is a 2D Metroidvania built around the literal and metaphorical bridge-building between multiple conflicting factions.

Our goal is to bring thrilling parkour and melee combat as well as meaningful character arcs to this genre that we love so much.
