What is Sunverse?
About Our Positions
These are not paid roles. All of our current administrators, developers, and builders are working on this project as volunteers, and all have stayed because they enjoy being part of our staff team/community and working on the server. We're all people with lives and obligations of our own and are running Sunverse as a hobby because we like doing it and have the skills to do it well. If that sounds like you, we'd be glad to have you with us. We want to turn a profit, of course, but that goal is secondary to creating a quality server with a quality community. With that said, we do know that this site is primarily a marketplace and that many of you may not want to do volunteer work. That's totally fine! All we ask is that you don't give us grief about it, especially on this thread--if you're not interested, you're not interested. Keep things positive!But that's not to say you don't get perks!
- A refreshingly friendly and dedicated team to work with. You won't find power-trippers or wannabe cutthroat-businessmen here.
- We will adjust to your schedule. Strict time requirements, especially for volunteer roles, aren't useful, and we won't let your position on a block game server interfere with your life. All we ask is that you're readily available to contact--and that you put out consistent, high-quality work.
- Form lasting friendships with our talented existing admins, devs, and builders. We're excited to meet you!
- Access to a wide range of commands depending on your role (developers have more debug authority compared to community admins, who are more focused on punishment/staff tools.)
- Our current developers occasionally add fun "novelty" commands for admins to play around (and amaze players) with.
- Are you tired of standard XenForo rank ribbons? Ascend to a higher level of cosmetic recognition with our hand-designed forum avatar frames! (Developer frame pictured below.)
You get the gist. We want to make your experience working with us a great one.
So, without further ado, we're looking to fill the following positions:
------------------------------------------------
Network Developer
We currently have a team of one Java developer. We are looking to add some more to speed up the path to release and implement even more custom-coded games, game-modes, and features for our server. Sunverse uses a shared work environment for code. We're also looking for PHP and web developers to join and help our Bedrock team.
What you'll be doing before release:

What you'll be doing before release:
- Working with our lead developer and development staff to create and expand our custom suite of games and plugins
- Brainstorming new ideas for games and features to implement
- Collaborating with builders on level design for maps & lobbies
What you'll be doing after release:
- Pretty much exactly the same as before!
- Creating new game/feature ideas for the network
- Responding to bug reports and issuing changelogs
What you'll need:
- Familiarity with Java, Spigot API, BungeeCord, & SQL
- Experience working with Paper/Waterfall preferred
- An open mind and a positive attitude
- We'll ask you to either provide a sample of your work or pass a brief aptitude test

Application Process
Application Process
We don't discriminate by gender, sexual orientation, or time zone, but we do have a minimum age requirement of 16+ years old for Developer positions.
We don't impose the 17+ administrative age requirement because we think younger users aren't talented or "mature" enough to do administrative jobs-- they can and they have. We impose it because our administrative team is mostly 18+, and we just don't think it's appropriate to bring on significantly younger administrators for a variety of reasons. To MC-Market members 16 and below, we're sorry for the inconvenience, but this policy has worked for us elsewhere and we'll be holding to it here.
Additionally, we strongly prefer that you commit yourself to Sunverse for the duration of your time as an administrator (i.e. don't hold staff positions on other servers at the same time as your SVN admin tenure.) While we're willing to make exceptions for extremely talented and organized candidates, especially in the pre-release phase, we've found that it's more fulfilling for everyone involved if there aren't any conflicts of time and interest within a staff team.
If you are interested in one or more of these positions, please fill out this form here. Well, that's about it. Whether we get a hundred applicants or zero, we thank you for taking the time to read this post. Feel free to ask us questions on this thread or via discord.
