Role
Who you are
- Senior Engineering Experience: At least seven (7) years of senior engineering experience in high-growth environments
- Programmatic Proficiency: Deep technical expertise in Golang, Java, or C++
- Technical Expertise: Extensive experience (12+ years total) in software engineering, with a focus on ad tech, attribution, or large-scale data systems
- Domain Knowledge: Deep understanding of the technical challenges in mobile measurement, self-attributing networks, and the MMP ecosystem
- Data & AI/ML Proficiency: Proven track record of building data foundations that support complex AI/ML-driven optimization systems
- Architectural Leadership: Experience designing high-throughput, low-latency systems that handle billions of events in a privacy-sensitive manner
What the job involves
- Unity is making a strategic investment in its ability to directly measure the effectiveness of its advertising products—specifically, whether a given ad drove an install—without relying exclusively on third-party mobile measurement partners (MMPs)
- The Senior Director of Product Management for Ads Measurement will lead this effort
- This role owns the vision and execution of Unity’s self-attribution capabilities, ensuring Unity can independently measure ad performance, develop reliable sources of ground truth for AI/ML optimization, and define a clear, intentional relationship with the MMP ecosystem
- This leader will operate at the intersection of ads, data science, platform strategy, and developer trust, shaping how Unity measures, explains, and optimizes advertising outcomes in a fragmented and evolving measurement landscape
- Architect Unity’s Measurement Foundation: Design and implement the scalable technical infrastructure required to measure install attribution and ad effectiveness independently
- Develop Self-Attribution Capabilities: Lead the engineering effort to build internal attribution signals and reliable, privacy-aware install measurement across multiple platforms
- Power AI/ML Optimization: Collaborate closely with data science and ML teams to ensure measurement data is high-quality and optimized for model training
- Technical Strategy for MMP Ecosystem: Define technical integration standards for Unity as a self-attributing network, ensuring consistent and secure data exchanges with the broader ecosystem
- Cross-Functional Technical Leadership: Drive technical alignment across Ads, Data, Engineering, and Privacy teams to ensure measurement becomes a durable strategic asset
Our take
Unity Technologies is one of the world's leading game engines. The platform helps artists and developers in gaming to render 3D worlds in real time.
In recent years Unity has expanded its scope by bringing its technology to new industries, including car companies, and film and TV studios who are using Unity to manage production virtually. Having completed an IPO in 2020, Unity’s capabilities are also being used by companies such as Apple and Android to create better AR experiences.
In 2021, 72% of the top 1000 mobile games and 50% of games across mobile, PC and console were made with Unity. Having completed substantial post-IPO funding in 2025, the company now operates on over 20 different platforms, is active in 190+ countries and territories across the world and continues to develop its technologies and capabilities.
