Vetted 3D developer in the United States (UTC-5)

Being a software developer is more than just learning to program in a computer language. I have been building multiplayer games since 2015, primarily in Unity 3D using Photon Bolt or Photon Fusion (server-authoritative). In the past I have also designed several larger web sites from concept to deployment, some high-profile projects. I have served as a Lead Developer or Senior Developer for years, mentoring other developers and encouraging them to use the latest technologies and best practices. For tutoring, I would focus on teaching patterns, using events, and reusable methods for designing applications and reinforcing the need to stay current as new technologies are released. I can give advice on how to focus your learning efforts to target specific types of development positions, and interviewing advice for finding a position within a software company. I had been a developer in C++ for about 10 years prior to using C# and focused on web technologies, which I have now been doing for another 10 years. While I have primarily been using Unity 3d, Microsoft .NET / C#, I have also utilized VB and VB.NET, touched on Linux/PHP/MySQL from time to time, and worked with the Microsoft SQL Server/Express/CE products for 10+ years. I originally started building a Unity 3D game about 5 years ago, which passed Steam Greenlight and I am currently working on multiple Unity mobile and desktop games. Domain Driven Design is a basis for each of my projects' structure, and I reinforce the need to use best practices when coding. I can also explain SCRUM, which is used by many companies for handling team project management. For Unity 3D multiplayer networking projects I typically work with and recommend Photon Fusion along with PlayFab, PlayFab Matchmaking, and PlayFab Servers. I recommend and use PlayFab in most all of my projects. If your final senior project is a "Concept to POC" type of project where the Proof of Concept is the working software required for a grade ,then I will also teach you to use Azure DevOps with a Git repository to manage the project (or Plastic for Unity projects), and Invision to wireframe your ideas before we begin developing any code. I can help you document the Project Scope, Functional Specs, create Design Documents, and build the presentation for your senior college project. We can build completed projects in a short time, both the user interface and the server components as needed. My focuses are Unity 3D, C#, .NET Core, HTML5 / CSS3, jQuery, Object Relational Mapping (Entity Framework or nHibernate), Microsoft .NET, Web Services, Azure, Photon, PlayFab, SQL Server, SQLite, Cosmos DB.

FAQs

Why hire a 3D developer?

In today’s world, most companies have code-based needs that require developers to help build and maintain. For instance, if your business has a website or an app, you’ll need to keep it updated to ensure you continue to provide positive user experiences. At times, you may even need to revamp your website or app. This is where hiring a developer becomes crucial.

Depending on the stage and scale of your product and services, you may need to hire a 3D developer, multiple engineers, or even a full remote developer team to help keep your business running. If you’re a startup or a company running a website, your product will likely grow out of its original skeletal structure. Hiring full-time remote 3D developers can help keep your website up-to-date.

How do I hire 3D developers?

To hire a 3D developer, you need to go through a hiring process of defining your needs, posting a job description, screening resumes, conducting interviews, testing candidates’ skills, checking references, and making an offer.

Arc offers three services to help you hire 3D developers effectively and efficiently. Hire full-time 3D developers from a vetted candidates pool, with new options every two weeks, and pay through prepaid packages or per hire. Alternatively, hire the top 2.3% of expert freelance 3D developers in 72 hours, with weekly payments.

If you’re not ready to commit to the paid plans, our free job posting service is for you. By posting your job on Arc, you can reach up to 450,000 developers around the world. With that said, the free plan will not give you access to pre-vetted 3D developers.

Furthermore, we’ve partnered with compliance and payroll platforms Deel and Remote to make paperwork and hiring across borders easier. This way, you can focus on finding the right 3D developers for your company, and let Arc handle the logistics.

Where do I hire the best remote 3D developers?

There are two types of platforms you can hire 3D developers from: general and niche marketplaces. General platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, and Gigster offer a variety of non-vetted talents unlimited to developers. While you can find 3D developers on general platforms, top tech talents generally avoid general marketplaces in order to escape bidding wars.

If you’re looking to hire the best remote 3D developers, consider niche platforms like Arc that naturally attract and carefully vet their 3D developers for hire. This way, you’ll save time and related hiring costs by only interviewing the most suitable remote 3D developers.

Some factors to consider when you hire 3D developers include the platform’s specialty, developer’s geographical location, and the service’s customer support. Depending on your hiring budget, you may also want to compare the pricing and fee structure.

Make sure to list out all of the important factors when you compare and decide on which remote developer job board and platform to use to find 3D developers for hire.

How do I write a 3D developer job description?

Writing a good 3D developer job description is crucial in helping you hire 3D developers that your company needs. A job description’s key elements include a clear job title, a brief company overview, a summary of the role, the required duties and responsibilities, and necessary and preferred experience. To attract top talent, it's also helpful to list other perks and benefits, such as flexible hours and health coverage.

Crafting a compelling job title is critical as it's the first thing that job seekers see. It should offer enough information to grab their attention and include details on the seniority level, type, and area or sub-field of the position.

Your company description should succinctly outline what makes your company unique to compete with other potential employers. The role summary for your remote 3D developer should be concise and read like an elevator pitch for the position, while the duties and responsibilities should be outlined using bullet points that cover daily activities, tech stacks, tools, and processes used.
