#922Amazon's speech software, Alexa, is a small team of scientists and software engineers solving complex problems in information retrieval, machine learning, speech and NLP. We have small teams of researchers, linguists and engineers across three offices in Sunnyvale, Cambridge (Kendall Square), and HQ in Seattle. If you are looking for a place to make a big impact on a new product used by millions of people every day - please send me a note! I'd love to discuss.

#923We are a "meditation technology" company. We were one of the first companies to produce Biofeedback hardware and software for consumers (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journey_to_Wild_Divine ). We're currently revamping both our hardware and software library, and are looking to bring on an experienced Unity 3D Developer to lead software efforts. Both contract or full-time are options. Remote is a possibility if you are a resident of Ontario.
Experience optimizing Unity 3D games to run well across mobile platforms is a must - as we're a small team, "jack of all trades" (optimizing 3D models and other art assets, etc...) is great. Finally, if you're interested in Virtual Reality development we've got some interesting stuff in the pipeline there as well.
We've got a really cool office space walking distance from the U of T campus and both subway lines (Spadina + Bloor). Full kitchen, freshly ground coffee, flexible work hours, etc...
Contact: careers at unyte.com or reach out to me directly via my HN profile - What to send with your application: 1-2 paragraphs about any relevant experience, links to project samples (i.e. public repos, open source projects you've contributed to or stack overflow profile), and also what attracts you to the role.
