  • 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.
