Who We Are

We’re Sandbox VR, the most advanced virtual reality experience in the world. Our mission is to bring people closer together through world-class immersive experiences. When guests step into one of our stores, our full-body motion tracking gear and Hollywood motion capture cameras make them the stars of their own movies. Groups freely roam our large-open “holodecks” together, relying on each other to succeed in social experiences. Whether it’s venturing into space, battling on the high seas, or surviving a zombie apocalypse, our experiences take our guests on a journey they won’t forget!

Since launching in 2017, we’ve become the location-based VR industry leader.  As we continue to expand globally, there’s never been a better time to join the Sandbox VR team.

  • Analyze the customer journey to understand business needs and deliver tailored web solutions that improve the experience for both guests and in-store staff
  • Research and integrate new technologies to enhance the scalability and efficiency of our platform
  • Create clear user manuals and handoff documentation for the operation teams

Who We're Looking For:

  • 6+ years of experience developing web applications
  • Proven ability to solve complex technical problems and improve systems collaboratively with cross-functional teams
  • Must have experience with cloud platforms such as Google Cloud, AWS, Azure, or Alibaba Cloud

  • Detail-oriented, self-motivated, and comfortable taking initiative on new challenges
  • Passion for innovation and a willingness to explore and solve novel technology problems, and you're excited to help build something no one's built before
  • Experience with Golang and Grafana is a big plus.

What We're Offering:

  • Retirement savings plans
  • Significant equity grants in a rapidly growing organization
  • Flexible paid time off
