About Dapper Labs

We believe the future of the internet is powered by digital ownership. At Dapper Labs, we’re turning that vision into reality with products that bring fans closer to the brands and worlds they love. From the global NFT phenomenon CryptoKitties to flagship products like NBA Top Shot, NFL ALL DAY, and Disney Pinnacle, we’ve brought millions of users onchain, processed billions of dollars in transactions, and shown that digital assets can redefine entire industries.

A career here means joining a team of bold, fast-moving builders who thrive on autonomy, tackle hard problems head-on, and embrace the ambiguity that comes with breaking new ground. Backed by $600M+ from world-class investors — and the energy of millions of fans and communities worldwide — we’re just getting started.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Unity Engineer (contract) to help build the next generation of interactive digital collectibles. You’ll work closely with designers, developers, and product leads to create tools and experiences that make our collectibles feel dynamic and engaging. From pipelines that scale content to interactive features fans can play with, your work will directly shape how fans experience digital ownership. This is a role for someone who thrives on collaboration, loves solving tough technical challenges, and is excited to push the boundaries of Unity in Web3.

What You’ll Do

  • Build and maintain pipeline tools and interactive features in Unity (C#) that bring our digital collectibles to life

  • Develop and refine internal tooling to support scalable, efficient content workflows

  • Partner with cross-functional teammates to design and implement the best technical solutions for our products

  • Contribute to UI and UX implementation, ensuring experiences feel intuitive and engaging

  • Drive the full development lifecycle — from discovery and prototyping through iteration, optimization, and final polish

We’re Looking for Someone With…

  • 1–3+ years of experience developing in Unity with C#

  • Proven ability with Unity editor tooling and/or custom tool development

  • Proficient with Git and experienced contributing to production-ready projects

  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, collaborative team environment

  • Familiarity with 3D software such as Blender, Maya, or similar tools

  • Strong fundamentals in software development, UI/UX, and game systems, especially for mobile platforms

Nice to Have

  • Python scripting and/or experience building tooling pipelines

  • Familiarity with Node.js or modern web frameworks

  • Experience with shader development (HLSL, Shader Graph)

  • Knowledge of runtime mesh generation

  • Contributions to released game titles

  • Experience with Unity systems such as Addressables, WebGL builds, or animation pipelines

A Few More Things…

  • Contractor role, full-time (~40 hrs/week)

  • Initial contract length of 3 months with potential for extension

  • Preferred timezone: PST

  • Preferred location: Vancouver, BC (hybrid)

  • Target start date: Early October 2025

  • Portfolio required to demonstrate prior work and capabilities, with a brief message telling us why you’re excited about this opportunity. 

Why Join Us?

Dapper Labs was founded on a simple but radical belief: crypto is about more than currency. Just as the internet became part of everyday life, we believe blockchain will be the foundation for how people connect, create, and exchange value online.

For you, that means joining a team that’s actively building this future — products that give people true ownership of their data and assets, that let communities and creators build lasting relationships, and that shape how culture and fandom are experienced in the digital age. Here, you won’t just ship features; you’ll help design products that millions of people will use and love.

Make fandom digital-first. Just as physical trading cards and memorabilia defined generations of fans, we're creating digital ownership experiences that scale globally, instantly, and interactively.

Beyond hype. We don't chase trends — we build platforms and products that last, powered by a mix of iconic global IPs and bold original brands.

Backed to go big. With $600M+ in funding from leading investors including a16z, Coatue, Union Square Ventures, Venrock, Google Ventures, Samsung, and the founders of DreamWorks, Reddit, Coinbase, Zynga, and AngelList, we have the conviction and resources to push Web3 into the mainstream.
