About the role
- As an Interactive Experience Designer at Lucid Dream, you'll help shape the future of games-inspired science communication, immersive storytelling, and training.
- We're looking for the instincts of an early adopter - someone who's genuinely excited about new tools and pipelines, and who's often first to try them and bring back what works.
- You don't need to be a coder, but you should be comfortable with basic scripting inside Unity and curious about where emerging tools, including AI, can sharpen the creative process without compromising craft.
Responsibilities
- Art, Scene-Building & Light Interactive Implementation
- Create polished, design-forward art assets and contribute them to Unity scenes across VR, AR, desktop, mobile, and web-based experiences
- Help build, organize, and polish Unity scenes alongside the team - environments, UI, animation states, lighting, materials, shaders, and visual effects
- Implement and refine art assets, animations, particle systems, UI elements, and interaction feedback inside Unity
- Support live deployments by helping troubleshoot visual or interaction issues and keeping your assets deployment-ready
- you'll create polished assets, integrate them into Unity scenes, and handle the setup and interactivity that make them feel alive.
- Monthly team-building events
Requirements
- Comfort with animation fundamentals - timing, easing, motion design, and object and UI animation (character animation is not required for this role)
- Comfort working with Unity C# scripts - including with the assistance of AI coding tools
- Strong communication skills and the ability to explain creative and technical decisions clearly to both creative and client-facing audiences
- Strong experience with 3D asset creation and animation
Nice to have
- Background in having worked in agency, brand, marketing, or client-services creative, or any environment where polish and brand consistency were non-negotiable
- Experience working with medically accurate art assets where details matter
- Experience shipping mobile, desktop, or web-based interactive experiences alongside VR/XR work
- Familiarity with Substance Painter, Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, or similar creative tools
- Experience creating shaders, visual effects, lighting setups, or custom Unity editor tools
- Robust company culture committed to our core mission and values
- Amazing group of talented colleagues, and a management team dedicated to transparent leadership and helping everyone grow and thrive
- Responsible Paid Time-Off Policy
