Head of Marketing - Edge of Chaos

About MetaGravity

MetaGravity is a deep-technology company headquartered in London. We are fully funded and have grown to over 55 employees over the last 12 months. Very rarely for a deep tech start-up we are earning significant revenues in our first year of operation.

We are building disruptive technology platforms that will enable the future of scalable game simulations across 

• MetaGravity Studio - we are building our own MMO RPG mediaeval fantasy sandbox game called Edge of Chaos, leveraging all of the potential of the MetaGravity infrastructure and blockchain platforms



• MetaGravity Engine - the core technology platform which enables game simulations to scale to an arbitrarily large scale, breaking through the monolithic barriers of games engines (40-80 concurrent players) and spatial partitioning platforms (<1000 concurrent players). Our disruptive technology platform is already being deployed commercially and supporting >100k concurrent users in a single shard game environment. We also deliver game changing efficiencies in cloud compute costs, making it economic for the first time for cloud games to operate at scale. We are deeply integrated with major games engines including Unreal and Unity and are cloud agnostic - making it incredibly easy for developers to build new games or port over existing games to our infrastructure.

• GRAV and BOSON Tokens - we believe in the scalable decentralised future of cloud gaming infrastructure. Our compute platform will be accessible to customers through a hybrid combination of SAAS (USD Fiat) and a decentralised GRAV token economy. Our approach to distributed compute infrastructure enables us to build a real-time decentralised game asset register (aka a gaming blockchain) that can resolve relevant transactions in 1-2ms, which is revolutionary for the blockchain gaming space. We plan to bring both the GRAV and BOSON tokens to market from 2024

MetaGravity was founded by experienced entrepreneurs and long-term collaborators Rashid Mansoor (Chief Executive Officer) and Tobin Ireland (Chief Business Officer). Our team is composed of seasoned entrepreneurs and innovators with decades-long experience in distributed systems, supercomputing, blockchain, game engine development and AAA game production. We are deeply committed to our cause, believe in its immense upside potential and embrace bold, first-principles thinking in our approach to problem-solving.
