• The team will also research and deliver runtime optimizations which make Unity games start faster and run well on low and high spec devices. We will do this by establishing benchmarks, collaborating with internal and external experts to perform deep analysis on Unity engine performance on the platform and then align with the appropriate stakeholders to land measured improvements

• This role is a combination of technical leadership and people management. The right person will attract, develop and retain high quality engineering talent at all levels. If you thrive on shaping software that is loved and used by millions, and leading the engineers who build and maintain it, then we’ve got a great job opportunity for you!
