Senior Frontend Engineer (Hybrid)

WeAre Rooms is more than a VR tool — it’s a game-changing solution for visualizing and interacting with 3D and CAD models in immersive, collaborative environments. Our platform works both in VR and on desktop, allowing teams to collaborate effectively even without VR hardware. By focusing on the critical planning phases of projects such as plant and industrial machine construction, we help prevent costly errors, reduce travel expenses (and CO₂ emissions), and enhance communication and connection across teams.

Our vision is to create tools that are as seamless to integrate as they are intuitive to use, striking the perfect balance between innovation and practicality. With a robust technology stack — Unity, Django, React, and AWS — and core languages and tools including TypeScript, Python, and Docker, we’re building the future of virtual collaboration for the engineering world.

About the company: WeAre GmbH

Are you looking for a team that values your voice, fosters creativity, and gives you the freedom to shape the future of cutting‑edge VR solutions? Welcome to our world.

We are a close‑knit and dynamic VR company made up of 10 professionals: a Marketing/Sales team, a VR team and a Full Stack technical team (Backend/Frontend/DevOps). Together, we create immersive virtual reality experiences and innovative digital solutions for B2B clients in the mechanical and plant engineering industry.

We believe that work should complement life, not compete with it. We support each other through personal and professional growth, and we value open, honest communication. With flat hierarchies and a collaborative spirit, every team member contributes to designing and shaping our products. We cherish open communication, value opinions across the entire team, and celebrate personal connections. Work‑life balance is a priority for us - whether it’s supporting each other through life’s challenges or coming together for laughter, board games, and good food during our gatherings.

Our values (a note from the CEO & Founder)

Team spirit and collaboration are at the core of our identity; every team member is heard, valued, and respected.

We foster an environment where autonomy, accountability, and entrepreneurial thinking lead to flat hierarchies and mutual respect. While we expect commitment, passion, and a proactive approach, we strongly believe in sustainable performance rather than short‑term gains.

We understand that professional success must align with personal well‑being. Hence, maintaining a healthy work‑life balance, where family, friends, and personal interests have their space, is essential to our culture. We aim to build lasting relationships with our team members. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

If you identify with grounded values, genuine passion, and a readiness to perform, we'd love to hear from you.
