About the job

SummaryBy Outscal

Lead web platform team optimizing Unity runtime for browsers. Must have experience managing high-performance software engineering teams and expertise in C++, C#, and JavaScript.

The opportunity

Advances in desktop and mobile web browsers have created a revival of gaming in the browser. When a user clicks a link, or scans a QR code, they expect a near-instant experience. While advancements in consumer hardware and ever-increasing network speeds will enhance this experience over time, they are not enough! We must thoroughly optimize the download of game assets and the initialization of the Unity WebAssembly runtime.

As an Engineering Manager, you’ll lead our Web Platform team to elevate the performance of Unity’s runtime across desktop and mobile browsers. Your team is responsible for refining the web-platform-specific code and build processes that bring the Unity runtime to these browsers. Collaborating closely with our platform partners, you will measure and implement runtime performance and load-time optimizations

This role blends technical leadership with people management. You’ll be responsible for attracting, developing, and retaining top engineering talent. If you excel at shaping software that millions love and use, and enjoy leading the engineers who create and maintain it, this is the perfect opportunity for you!

What you'll be doing

  • Organize and oversee research, investigation, measurement, and implementation tasks.
  • Define and drive the technical strategy for the team.
  • Collaborate with core Unity engineering and graphics teams to enhance performance.
  • Communicate your team’s vision and progress to internal and external stakeholders.
  • Support and mentor your team members as they advance in their careers.

What we're looking for

  • Proven experience managing high-performance software engineering teams.
  • A passion for developing innovative optimization solutions.
  • A methodical approach to prioritizing and validating solutions.
  • Expertise in software engineering with familiarity in C++, C#, and JavaScript.

You might also have

  • Knowledge of current web standards (WebGL, WebGPU, Web Workers, Emscripten, WebAssembly) and browser compatibility.
  • Experience with real-time 3D projects or games.
  • Proficiency in Agile development methodologies and experience leading distributed teams.

Additional information

  • Relocation support is not available for this position.
  • International relocation support is not available for this position.
  • Work visa/immigration sponsorship is not available for this position.
