About Immersify
The idea of Immersify Education was conceived 5 years ago to address the problem that educational resources are outdated, expensive and discourage the engagement of students.
Our solution bridges the gap between theoretical and practical learning by utilising augmented reality and interactive animation, 3D modelling, gamification and personalisation.
The benefit of this over traditional materials is that it facilitates students with different learning styles, the content can be personalised and gamified and the concise information is more suited to the present generation of learner.
Position – Senior Unity c# Developer
Immersify Education is quickly scaling and innovating in the EdTech space. This role will be positioned within the Web Development team, a part of the larger Development department. The successful candidate should be an independent and creative problem solver, looking to make an impact with what they develop. The ideal candidate will be ready to apply their skills to a new challenge. Keen to support the team, develop an understanding of the solid underlying foundations developed to create a scalable platform being used worldwide by thousands of users. They should be adaptable, reliable, have good communication skills and the desire to grow and shape their position in the team.
Immersify is unique in the market as platform that, unlike an LMS, produces and publishes high quality content with the collaboration of subject specialists, designers and developers. The goal is to take the onus from lecturers to produce their own low production value course resources, allowing them to take advantage of advanced technologies like Augmented Reality and AI and focus on higher learning activities with students and save themselves time.
This role will have a variety of responsibilities revolving around developing and maintaining the desktop version of the Immersify platform. Based on the foundation infrastructure of the mobile platform the desktop version will utilise crossover scripts while also bringing a unique feature set only possible on with a desktop programme. This is a critical deployment to improving user experience, grow the brand and achieve Immersify's business objectives.
