3D unity frontend developer

Formify is looking for a Principal 3D Frontend Developer who masters Three.js, shaders, and parametric logic at an expert level. You will be technically responsible for our 3D configurator and act as the bridge between the leadership team and developers.

You must be located within two hours of Central European Time, either ahead or behind

Company profile

Formify builds a browser-based 3D configurator that allows users to fully design complex spaces. Kitchens, laundry rooms, garages. All in real time, fully parametric and customizable.

Our product is used by both consumers and businesses. Individuals use it to design their ideal spaces. Companies use it to streamline everything from sales to production.

What makes us different:

• We build everything ourselves. No off the shelf engines. No templates

• We combine mathematical precision with user friendly design

• Our configurator is fast, scalable and deeply parametric

• Everything runs in the browser but feels like native software

• We work directly with decision makers and move fast on the commercial side

We have outgrown our first version. Now we need someone to help us build what comes next.
