Linden Lab Looking For Engineering Manager

 
 
On Linden Lab's "help wanted" page, there's a new opening that suggests they're taking the development of their mobile viewer fairly seriously. It's for a manager for the engineering team for their Mobile Viewer. 

We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to help bring Second Life to mobile devices. 

This is a technical lead role, reporting to Second Life's Viewer & Server Director of Engineering. In this highly collaborative position, you will write software, architect new systems, mentor staff and manage a small team responsible for bringing the mobile Second Life viewer to life.

This is a hybrid role, with some expectation of in-office presence in our Seattle office or San Francisco HQ.

The requirements for the job are:
 
8+ years experience as software engineer including mobile development; 3+ years in a technical leadership role
 
Modern web, game, C# and Unity development experience
 
Familiarity with game networking, UDP/TCP
 
A track record of leading teams and shipping successful projects
 
Earnest interest in learning new technologies
 
History of working with cloud based computing platforms such as AWS, Azure, GCP
 
Great communication, awareness, self motivation and collaboration attributes
 
Familiarity defining the strategic direction for AI initiatives and ensuring alignment with broader business goals
 
Curiosity for experimenting with and implementing novel AI capabilities to solve complex problems and create new user experiences
 
The Lab did say people can apply anyway even if they don't meet every single requirement. The salary will be between $163,000 and $223,000.

Burn ONe

 

Burn ONe is a tribute to the early days of Burning Man at Baker Beach San Francisco in the later 1980s. Made by Wisdom d'Avi (Wisdom Davi), it was supposed to last for only a couple weeks. But events would result in the location getting more use, and lasting longer than intended.
