VRelax is hiring a Junior Unity Developer

We’re looking for a curious, hands-on Junior Unity Developer who’s excited to craft calming, high-impact VR experiences and grow fast while doing it.

About VRelax

VRelax is a scientifically validated Virtual Reality app designed to support people dealing with mental and physical health challenges. It serves as an effective tool against stress, anxiety, depression and for distraction from physical discomfort or medical procedures. We’re a fast-moving team in Groningen working with healthcare and research partners, and our solution is already used by 250+ healthcare organizations making us the leading VR partner for mental health in the Netherlands.

About you

You’re an early-career Unity developer eager to learn from experienced teammates. You like turning ideas into smooth, user-friendly interactions, you’re comfortable asking questions, and you love seeing your work help real people relax and feel better.

  • You have 0–2 years of experience (internships and personal projects welcome) building in Unity with C#.
  • You understand the Unity basics: scenes, prefabs, animations, and version control (Git).
  • You’re curious about performance optimization and comfortable profiling and iterating.
  • You communicate clearly, enjoy teamwork, and care about users. English required; Dutch is a plus.
  • Nice-to-haves: VR / XR experience (XR Interaction Toolkit), interest in health-tech, and UX / UI sensibility.

What you’ll do

  • Build and refine interactions and features in Unity (C#) for VR and standalone headsets (e.g., Meta Quest, Pico).
  • Collaborate with developers and researchers to translate therapeutic ideas into engaging, soothing experiences.
  • Test, debug, and optimize performance so our experiences feel great on-device.
  • Participate in sprint ceremonies, code reviews, and daily standups in our Scrum workflow.
  • Contribute ideas to gameplay, UX, and content improvements that elevate user well-being.

What we offer

  • Purposeful work: build VR that measurably reduces stress and supports mental well-being in healthcare.
  • A collaborative, supportive culture with mentorship from experienced developers.
  • Innovative projects at the intersection of VR, research, and care, shipping to real users.
  • Flexible hybrid work (Groningen HQ / remote within the Netherlands).
  • We offer a competitive compensation package within our sector, complemented by opportunities for professional and personal growth.
