Company mission
Democratize game development and enable everyone to create rich interactive content.
Role
Who you are
- Knowledge of native development on at least one platform, preferable console, with adaptability to add more platforms to your expertise
- Empathy for the unique challenges game developers face building and maintaining rich experiences over multiple platforms
- Experience contributing to cross-team projects from initiation to completion
- Experience in C# and developing Unity-based games and extending the Unity editor
- Experience working with a small to medium size team
Desirable
- Knowledge of writing native plugins for Unity and/or experience with API design and asynchronous coding paradigms
- Experienced in development for multiple game consoles, mobile or desktop platforms and shipping cross-platform titles that also use platform-specific features when appropriate
- Long term code ownership mentality by being diligent with documentation on thought processes, decisions made and code API
What the job involves
- Our Platform Services/Systems Abstraction team contributes to this vision by crafting and implementing APIs that allow creators to take advantage of similar features across platforms without the need to know platform-specific development details
- To achieve this mission, we are looking for an experienced engineer to join us
- A successful developer in this role will be a one who has the desire to investigate and understand how similar features are implemented across various platforms, then use that knowledge to design unified APIs that can be used across platforms
- This will require deep cooperation with teammates as well as the willingness to build relationships with technical teams across Unity
- We strive for an environment in which the best ideas win by encouraging and respecting the input of all team members, taking into account different communication styles and experiences
- Crafting unified APIs that implement features of various target platforms in a single, unified and testable way
- Contributing the implementations of these APIs to the Unity codebase, including unit tests
- Advocate for the unification of disparate platform implementations into simple abstractions across Unity
- Deliver a stable quality product that the team is proud of by exemplifying robust API design methodologies along with high-quality C# and C++ coding practices
- Refactoring existing code to be more efficient and maintainable, responding to user feedback and solving user issues with the codebase
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.
