Hiring & Team
November was a great month, we filled all the open positions we had and contributors will start working during December. We are ready to kickstart 2026 with an awesome team.
Filled in November (start in December):
Product Designer (Protocol Squad) — +5 years in UGC platforms (ex-The Sandbox); will lead end-to-end app UX for the first public release (sign-up flows, discovery, controls, look & feel) targeted for Q1 2026.
Bevy Developer (semi-senior) — Rust dev with Godot experience; contributor to Bevy’s main repo. Initial three-week work test in November; if all checks out, starts in December. Focus: SDK runtime support and performance.
Godot Developer — elevated from part-time to full-time given the critical path to ship the mobile apps by Q1 2026. Background in DCL building and game development.
Art Director (new vs. original plan) — former head of Polygonal Mind; will own the creative vision across clients, creator tools, and content/experiences. This position was not on the original hiring plan, but we condensed other roles and created this new one that will take over the creative and content responsibilities
Notes: Filling the (originally part-time) Godot role as full-time completes the hiring plan for the mobile team for this operational period.
