Job Opportunity: Backend Role Description for Platform 2.0

Who we are

At Aequilibrium Inc. we bridge the gap between skeptical businesses and knowledgeable AR Creators with a platform that aggregates, shows, and facilitates the creation of AR projects. Our founders' abilities include design, engineering, and business all with previous startup experience and eagerness to take the platform to the next level. We're part of NVIDIA Inception and the Microsoft for Startups program; we were also accepted into an Incubator in Chicago ("The Gallery"), and have tremendous traction on both sides of the platform.

But we're not just revolutionizing the way Businesses will understand and order Augmented Reality (AR) Content in any industry, we're also thinking about what's next for us and the industry. Whether it'll be the integration of AR NFTs or just the development of an additional tool that can make the business flow impeccable we hope you'll join us in the amazing journey that awaits us.

Our mission: "To accelerate the creation and adoption of AR content"

You're a knowledgeable back-end developer that not only breathes and lives the AR world, Metaverse, Virtual Reality tech and NFTs but has shipped at least a couple of products in a web-based environment.
