GOLF+
Technical Artist
USA - Austin, TX
GOLF+ is building the leading platform for off-course golf. What began as the premier VR golf experience is now evolving into a multi-platform ecosystem spanning VR, simulator golf, and flatscreen experiences, serving millions of golfers worldwide.
Since our launch in 2020, we have had over 2 million downloads and over 4 billion shots hit in the game. We are the official VR partner of the PGA TOUR, following investment from strategic partners including Ben Crenshaw, Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth, Tom Brady, Steph Curry, and Mike Trout.
The Opportunity
We are building best-in-class course creation tooling for GOLF+. This starts as a powerful internal toolset for our course design team and evolves into a Unity plugin/package that third-party designers can use to build and publish courses on the GOLF+ platform.
This is a rare opportunity to build developer tools that ship as a product. You will own the course creation pipeline end-to-end: designing the authoring experience, building scalable systems, and ultimately packaging it all into a polished external tool that opens up GOLF+ course creation to the world.
You will sit at the intersection of art and engineering, building powerful internal tools, improving production pipelines, and enabling artists to work more efficiently, while approaching technical challenges with a creative and artistically minded perspective. You will work directly with the studio Art Director and Course Team to shape the standard for digital golf course creation.
What You Will Work On
Internal Course Creation Tooling
Build and refine custom Unity editor tools in C# that accelerate course creation and environment art production
Work directly with the course design team to identify workflow bottlenecks, iterate on tool UX, and improve iteration speed
Develop scalable import pipelines and automation systems for course assets
Improve DCC-to-Unity workflows (Maya, Substance, Houdini, procedural tools)
Design systems that scale across dozens of courses and environments, not just one-off solutions

Translate loose ideas into clear, compelling visual outputs
Build example content across film, advertising, events, and interactive use cases
Help customers understand how to use the product through your work
