Original job description

The Problem Young people are more connected online than ever, yet lonelier than any generation before them. Most digital platforms are optimized for passive consumption on screens, pulling people away from the environments they live in.

We are exploring the opposite:

technology that brings people together in real-world environments. To do that, software must understand place, context, and coordinated action, not just users and clicks.

What We Are Building Vyry is infrastructure that allows physical places to accumulate persistent digital meaning through human participation.

When students coordinate in quests, they are not simply completing activities. They are creating artifacts, relationships, and identity traces that remain anchored to real locations. Over time, campuses begin to develop a persistent experiential layer, where places contain memories, co-created assets, and discovery paths generated by the community itself. The experiences themselves are not the product. They are the behavioral interface through which the system learns how humans coordinate and co-create meaning in physical environments.

Phygtl is building a system where:

physical environments become stateful systems
human coordination generates persistent artifacts
places accumulate structured memory and identity
distributed services maintain the world state of these environments

Recent proofs:

12k → 175k students reached in 2025
25% of MAUs complete quests
pilots show up to 40% reduction in social isolation

The team combines consumer product, spatial, and game-world expertise, with seasones talents from:

Roblox • Niantic • Ubisoft alongside a research layer that includes:

2 professors • 4 PhDs

Future Direction Today Vyry operates as a mobile app. The next phase evolves the system into infrastructure for smart glasees. The long-term architecture enables developers and brands to create context-aware activities inside the spatial environment, similar to how platforms like Roblox enabled creators to build experiences on top of a shared world layer.

This requires building distributed systems capable of coordinating environments, users, AI agents, and third-party developers simultaneously.

What You Would Work On You would help design and build the distributed systems layer that powers the platform.

This includes:

real-time coordination systems for large numbers of concurrent users
distributed world state for artifacts, quests, identities, and spatial context
APIs and infrastructure enabling developer and brand participation
orchestration of multiple AI agents operating within the system
scalable service architecture for persistent spatial environments
AI platform infrastructure such as vector search, retrieval systems, and agent orchestration that power contextual reasoning inside the system
search and discovery infrastructure allowing users and developers to navigate artifacts, identities, and environments across the network

This role sits between game infrastructure, distributed systems, and AI platform architecture.

Hard Problems We’re Exploring

Persistent shared world state
artifacts, identities, and quests evolving across sessions and users
Massively concurrent spatial coordination
enabling real-time participation across many users interacting in the same environments
Distributed AI orchestration
production systems where multiple AI agents operate in parallel while maintaining reliability and latency guarantees
Platform infrastructure
evolving the system from a single product into infrastructure other developers can build on

Role We are looking for a hands-on distributed systems engineer from the gaming industry who wants to become a founding engineer.

You would:

design distributed system architecture
define service boundaries and coordination mechanisms
build systems for concurrency, persistence, and scale
integrate AI-driven pipelines into production infrastructure
shape the platform architecture as the system evolves beyond the app

We are not looking for someone to simply build backend services, but a talent who wants to architect the distributed systems layer of a new spatial computing platform.

Compensation

This is an equity-first founding role. Compensation is equity-only until our next funding round (target H2 2026).

You can join either:

Part-time, while keeping your current role
Full-time

This role is designed for someone who wants to be a founding engineer at a startup without having to start one from scratch.

Who This Is For

Engineers who:

have deep experience building distributed systems
have worked on real-time or game-scale infrastructure
think in systems architecture rather than isolated services
are comfortable designing for concurrency, reliability, and scale
have experience building AI or ML platforms, such as:
vector search or retrieval systems
RAG pipelines or LLM services
agent orchestration platforms
AI safety or synthetic data pipelines
are already experimenting with AI-native development workflows

This often resonates with engineers who have spent years inside large companies and now want to build something category-defining with ownership.

Who This Is NOT For

Please do not apply if:

you are looking for a salaried job today
you want a freelance contract or short-term gig
you are bridging time until your next role
you are primarily a traditional CRUD backend developer

This is a founding role with startup emotions.

If Interested

Send:

GitHub or portfolio
examples of distributed systems or infrastructure you built
anything you’ve built involving AI orchestration, agents, or platform systems
