About the role

Why you would like it

• You’ll help build and run mission-critical race management software used in the America’s Cup.
• Small, flat team where your contribution is visible and valued.
• Mix of hands-on development and live event operations.
• International travel is part of the role, with all work expenses covered.

The Opportunity
This is a rare chance to work on real-time Unity applications used in a live event setting where performance, reliability, and fast problem-solving matter. You’ll be building and operating interactive systems through pre-events and into a major international event in 2027 as part of the America’s Cup cycle. There is no room for failure once races are live, so you’ll be someone who stays calm, spots issues early, and fixes them quickly.
This is a Dunedin-based role.


Company Profile
You’ll join a specialist technology team responsible for delivering critical digital and interactive systems that support the America’s Cup. The environment is practical, delivery-focused, and collaborative; you will be working closely with operators, engineers, and event stakeholders to make sure the tech performs when it counts.


The skills and experience

• Experience in Unity (C#) or similar 3D gaming/simulation environments.
• Strong mathematical skills, especially in geometry, physics, and real‑time transformations.
• Experience working with Git and build pipelines.
• Comfortable operating under pressure.
• Proactive, accountable problem-solver (you don’t wait to be asked).
• Works well in a small, highly visible team; is honest, transparent, and asks for help early.
