Skilled Unity Game Developer wanted for an early-stage internship with a clear path to a paid role. You’ll help build a open-ended game for children and take real ownership from day one.

TheMOVE is building a next-generation digital platform that turns expert-curated movement and wellbeing into a playful, open-ended game children actually choose to play.

We combine healthtech and game design, and we are now looking for a skilled and creative Unity Game Developer to join us as an intern and take real responsibility for shaping the core game experience.

This role is structured as an internship, with the clear intention of transitioning into a paid position once funding is secured. Several funding opportunities are expected to open as we reach the next development milestones.

The role

You will be part of a small tech team and work independently and hands-on on the core game experience for children aged approx. 3–12.

This is not a traditional educational game. The focus is on play, exploration, aesthetics, and game feel – with wellbeing and movement integrated naturally.

You will collaborate closely with:

• The Founder

• Our existing tech developers

  
  

We work with:

• Motion capture

• UNITY

• Computer vision

• Gamification & playful design

• AI

• Mobile apps

  
  

Responsibilities

• Develop and refine the core game experience in Unity (3D)

• Design open-ended gameplay mechanics for young children

• Take ownership of features from idea to implementation

• Collaborate on UX/UI to ensure a child-first experience

• Translate abstract ideas into concrete, playable systems

• Iterate based on feedback, testing, and expert input

  
  

We’re looking for someone who

• Has experience with Unity (3D and C#)

• Can work independently and make strong technical and creative decisions

• Has a strong sense of game feel, interaction and aesthetics

• Thinks in open-ended, non-linear gameplay

• Is comfortable in an early-stage startup environment

• Wants to build something meaningful for children

  
  

Bonus points if you

• Have experience with animation, motion capture, or character-driven games

• Have worked with games

• Enjoy building something from the ground up

  
  

What we offer

• A high-responsibility internship with real creative ownership

• Close collaboration with a small, experienced, interdisciplinary team

• Flexible setup (part-time or full-time)

• Long-term upside through a warrant program

• A clear path toward a paid role once funding is secured
