The opportunity

We are hiring for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Web Platform team here ty's Web platform lets games and real-time 3D content run in a browser, on any internet connected device. Browser capability has moved fast, browser gaming is going through a revival, and the Unity Web runtime is what makes it possible. Our work also supports an exciting new partnership with a major platform, which puts what this team builds in front of audiences at a scale few browser platforms  this role, you will own meaningful areas of the runtime outright.

This is not website development. We embed Unity inside the browser, and the problems are the deep ones: making a single-threaded platform multi-threaded, cutting megabytes out of a build, getting a game playable in seconds rather than minutes.

Partner with teams across Unity who build on the Web platform, translating what they need into platform work Mentor teammates and help set the bar for code quality across the team

Keep Unity at the frontier of the Web's constantly evolving capabilities

What we're looking forDeep, hands-on proficiency with C++ in performance sensitive code Development experience with Web Assembly, using Emscripten and/or LLVMAbility to decompose complex technical problems and complete them on your own technical judgment

Experience profiling, debugging and optimizing across the native and browser boundary

Working knowledge of C# and Java Script Effective  written/verbal communication with peers, managers and key decision makers in other teamsA proven track record of mentoring engineers and raising code quality standards
