CurlyBlue is the VR game studio behind jmancurly (jmancurly) - the 1 VR YouTube channel in the world with 5M+ subscribers and 2.5B+ views. We're building a portfolio of VR games with multiple titles in active development and launches stacked through 2026 and beyond.
Technical Leadership & Architecture
- Hands-on development - You're not just managing. You're in the codebase daily, designing and implementing core systems - game architecture, multiplayer infrastructure, physics, combat, networking. You write code that others learn from
- System analysis & optimization - Analyze existing systems to identify bottlenecks, technical debt, and performance issues. VR has zero room for frame drops - you obsess over optimization
- Code quality & standards - Establish and enforce development standards. Conduct code reviews. Build a codebase that's maintainable, scalable, and doesn't fall apart when you add features 6 months from now
- Mentorship - Level up the dev team. Support junior and mid-level
developers, promote technical knowledge sharing, and build a culture where everyone gets better
Project Coordination & Delivery
- Sprint coordination - Work closely with the
Project Manager to coordinate technical progress across 2-week sprint cycles. Participate in daily stand-ups, sprint planning, and playtest reviews
- Priority management - Make sure every developer is focused on the right thing at the right time. Hit milestones. Hit launch dates. No excuses
- Build delivery - Coordinate the preparation and delivery of builds for testing phases and launches. When it's go time, the build works
Problem Solving & Communication
- Roadblock removal - Identify and resolve daily obstacles - unclear tasks, critical bugs, communication breakdowns, blocked team members. You keep the machine moving
- Risk management - Flag major issues early - technical complexity that could impact scope, timelines, or quality. No surprises at launch
- Bridge between tech & leadership - Translate complex technical challenges into language that non-technical stakeholders can understand and act on. You're the link between the dev team and creative/
business leadership
Launch & Live Operations
- Launch support - Manage the technical side of game launches and updates. Coordinate deployments, monitor stability, and respond fast when something breaks
- Community feedback loop - Monitor player feedback from Discord and community channels to identify bugs and prioritize hotfixes. Our community is vocal and we ship fast
- 5+ years in game development with at least 2 years leading a team or operating as a Senior Developer on shipped titles. You've led people, not just written code
- Expert-level Unity / C# - This is our primary engine. You should know it inside and out. Experience with multiplayer architecture and VR development is strongly preferred
- Deep understanding of VR-specific technical challenges - performance optimization, frame rate consistency, locomotion systems, spatial interaction, and platform constraints (Meta Quest)
- Strong leadership and communication skills. You can mentor a junior dev at 10AM and present a technical risk assessment to leadership at 2PM
- Calm under pressure. Game development is chaos - launches are intense, deadlines are real, bugs appear at the worst possible time. You stay steady and solve problems
- English fluency is required (written and verbal). Vietnamese is a strong secondary plus - you'll be leading a Vietnam-based dev team
- Based in (or willing to relocate to) Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. In-office. Morning brief at 9AM daily
- Global Reach: Work with elite artists performing in the world's most beautiful luxury destinations.
- True Ownership: Take a senior role with direct impact on a growing international entertainment brand.
- Impactful Work: Build the systems that support world-class performers and shape our global community.
- Purpose-Driven: Contribute to a mission bigger than yourself-creating happiness through music.
- Competitive mid-level Asia salary based on experience and capability.
