👤 Reach Out To: Aspen Buckingham

💡 Stand Out By: Lead with Unity C# skills and rapid prototyping speed. Genuine musical instrument experience is mandatory so mention it early. Edtech or classroom-tested game examples are a direct match. Chicago-based applicants get a significant edge so flag your location upfront.

💰 Pay Analysis: $40/hr is on the lower end for a Unity developer (US market rate $50-$90/hr for comparable experience). Reasonable for a paid trial contract at an early-stage edtech startup. Clarify conversion rate and hours if the role moves to part-time ongoing work.

🚩 Watch For: Paid trial with no guaranteed conversion means assess the team and project fit quickly. No disclosed contract length so confirm trial duration and evaluation criteria before starting. Early-stage edtech startup means verify funding stability and project continuity. Chicago preference may signal eventual in-person expectations despite remote listing.
