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 reach.

• Solve uncommon, low-level problems across C++, C# and JavaScript, for example bringing multi-threading to parts of the runtime that are single-threaded today
• 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

• Deep, hands-on proficiency with C++ in performance sensitive code
• Development experience with Web Assembly, using Emscripten and/or LLVM
• Ability 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 teams
• A proven track record of mentoring engineers and raising code quality standards

• Experience contributing to a browser engine or browser runtime
• Deeper domain knowledge of rendering, physics or audio in a real-time 3D engine
