At FitXR, we’re building the future of fitness - immersive workouts which turn movement into play, not punishment. We’re for the misfits: the ones who’ve always felt a little out of place in traditional fitness spaces. This is a new kind of community where movement is inclusive and everyone belongs.

We’re looking for a Senior Engineer to bring their React expertise into the 3D world and build interactive experiences that make movement genuinely fun. You’ll be joining a small, high-trust and fully remote team who are obsessed with learning fast and helping people move because they want to, not because they should.

What you’ll do 👀

Lead the tech side of features from brainstorm to release - balancing speed, polish, and player joy
Be the go-to React expert - setting best practices, performance tuning and helping us build smarter, not harder
Team up with Designers, Product and Unity/Backend Engineers to make VR interfaces feel seamless and alive
Help define how we build - bringing product thinking and technical insight to every sprint
Share knowledge, raising the overall level of code craft and collaboration
Push the limits of our React–Unity integration to unlock even richer player experiences

You should apply if ✅

You’re a proactive, product-minded engineer with:

Strong React experience in production environments
Proven ability to own projects end-to-end, balancing delivery speed with solid engineering principles
Experience working in small, cross-functional teams
Excellent communication - you keep people in the loop, surface blockers early, and stay cool in chaos
Comfort with ambiguity - you can build clarity where none exists
Curiosity about 3D, gaming, or VR - bonus if you’ve built something weird and fun before
Perspective of AI as a teammate, not a threat - you’re leveraging AI to speed up your workflow, generate tests and help prototype ideas faster

Nice-to-have experience:

Some Unity or VR development - professional or hobby!
Backend development - C# preferred
Automated testing pipelines

You shouldn’t apply if ❌

You want a 200-page spec before you start coding
You prefer working in a giant org where decisions move slower than patch notes
You’re allergic to collaboration or ownership
