Role Summary

We are hiring a Unity Developer to support the implementation of a Proof of Concept (PoC) project with a Tier 1 telecom client. This initiative will bring to life a mobile AR-enabled inspection application that allows store managers to capture structured video walkthroughs. The video and metadata are then processed for AI-based compliance scoring.

The successful candidate will join our Innovation & Data team at Project X Ltd. to build the Unity front end, enabling device camera capture, tagging of in-video events, and integration with downstream processing engines.

Major Areas of Responsibility

• Design and develop a Unity-based mobile application (iOS and Android) to support AR-guided video capture workflows.

• Integrate device camera APIs to capture continuous walkthrough video footage.

• Implement on-screen tagging functionality that timestamps and geolocates user taps/touches.

• Ensure local video storage with reliable handoff to backend processing (via REST API or storage pass-through).

• Work closely with the Project X team and client-side developers to ensure seamless integration.

• Participate in technical design sessions and sprint stand-ups as part of a collaborative, agile delivery environment.

Required Knowledge, Skills, Abilities and Other

• 3+ years of experience developing Unity applications for mobile (AR experience preferred).

• Experience with Unity video capture plugins and custom mobile UI development.

• Solid understanding of device hardware access (camera, file system).

• Familiarity with metadata tagging, geolocation services, and file export mechanisms.

• Comfortable working in a PoC/rapid iteration context with weekly deliverables and feedback loops.

• Experience in secure authentication flows (ideally integrating with enterprise SSO).

• Ability to read technical architecture documents and align code structure accordingly.

Nice to Have:

• Prior exposure to enterprise applications or integrations with AI/ML backend services.

• Experience with augmented reality features in Unity (e.g., guiding users through physical spaces).

• Familiarity with RESTful APIs, JSON metadata structures, and file handling between front end and backend systems.
