Game Developer (Unreal Engine)
Description
Game Developer (Unreal
Engine)
JOB OVERVIEW:
Torque3 is seeking a highly skilled,
full-time game developer that will work with our design and engineering teams
to develop new virtual environments and experiences for use on our proprietary
platform.
Torque3 is a rapidly expanding MedTech
startup that is developing a breakthrough neurorehabilitation solution. We are
developing a realistic simulator that combines immersive VR, advanced robotics,
and task-orientated therapy. Our integrated system is designed to help stroke
and TBI survivors increase their neuroplasticity, and thus, make substantial
gains faster. In other words, your role at Torque3 will be anything but dull! To

The job pays $90K to $120K. This is an on-site position. The
“games” run on our unique system which requires a lot of hands-on validation
testing.
MAIN ADVANTAGES OF WORKING AT TORQUE3:
1. You
will have a work/life balance better than most game development teams. We
rarely ask our game devs to come in on the weekends or work more than 50 hours a
week.
2. You
will be a part of something much greater than yourself. There are 8 million
stroke survivors in the United States alone, and unfortunately, almost 800K new
people will join this group each year. The work you do at Torque3 can make the
difference in these people getting some semblance of their life back and
feeling whole again.

ABOUT
US
Torque3
is on a mission to restore lost functionality and independence to people who
have suffered a stroke or TBI. By joining the Torque3 team, you will be a part
of something much greater than yourself. There are 8 million stroke survivors
in the United States alone, and unfortunately, almost 800K new people will be
joining that group each year. These people are facing months – even years of
rehabilitation, with very little hope of ever getting back more than a fraction
of their former lives. The Torque3 platform will help these people - and their
families - to become whole again. Find out more at our website: https://www.torque3.com/
