About the Role
At Quantum Arcadia, we are building immersive VR experiences that blur the line between reality and the virtual world. Our flagship project is a VR City Exploration Game, designed to let players explore lifelike cities, interact with AI-driven NPCs, and feel truly present in vast, dynamic environments.
We are looking for a Backend Developer (fresher to mid-level) to design and implement the game backend systems that make these shared experiences possible. From multiplayer networking to scalable player data systems, you will help build the infrastructure that powers seamless interactions across thousands of players in large VR environments.
This is an opportunity to work at the cutting edge of VR, shaping the way people experience digital cities and building systems that scale across large environments while maintaining smooth performance.

Develop and optimize multiplayer networking solutions (sessions, matchmaking, server logic).
-
Build systems for real-time communication and synchronization of city environments and player actions.
-
Work with databases (SQL/NoSQL) to manage persistent data such as progress, inventory, and achievements.
-
Ensure backend scalability and performance to handle concurrent player sessions.
-
Monitor, debug, and maintain backend systems to ensure stability and reliability.
Must-Haves
