Software Engineer, Cross Platform Development

The opportunity

Unity is the ubiquitous 3D engine that runs real-time content anywhere. We serve interactive content creators by making Unity the best way to get real-time content on any device or form factor. Our Platform Services/Systems Abstraction team contributes to this vision by crafting and implementing APIs that allow creators to take advantage of similar features across platforms without the need to know platform-specific development details. This ensures that similar features can be accessed with a single API that "just works" across our supported platforms.

To achieve this mission, we are looking for an experienced engineer to join us.

A successful developer in this role will be a one who has the desire to investigate and understand how similar features are implemented across various platforms, then use that knowledge to design unified APIs that can be used across platforms. This will require deep cooperation with teammates as well as the willingness to build relationships with technical teams across Unity. We strive for an environment in which the best ideas win by encouraging and respecting the input of all team members, taking into account different communication styles and experiences.

What you'll be doing

• Crafting unified APIs that implement features of various target platforms in a single, unified and testable way.

• Contributing the implementations of these APIs to the Unity codebase, including unit tests.

• Advocate for the unification of disparate platform implementations into simple abstractions across Unity

• Deliver a stable quality product that the team is proud of by exemplifying robust API design methodologies along with high-quality C# and C++ coding practices

• Refactoring existing code to be more efficient and maintainable, responding to user feedback and solving user issues with the codebase

What we're looking for

• Knowledge of native development on at least one platform, preferable console, with adaptability to add more platforms to your expertise

• Empathy for the unique challenges game developers face building and maintaining rich experiences over multiple platforms

• Experience contributing to cross-team projects from initiation to completion

• Experience in C# and developing Unity-based games and extending the Unity editor

• Experience working with a small to medium size team

You might also have

• Knowledge of writing native plugins for Unity and/or experience with API design and asynchronous coding paradigms

• Experienced in development for multiple game consoles, mobile or desktop platforms and shipping cross-platform titles that also use platform-specific features when appropriate

• Long term code ownership mentality by being diligent with documentation on thought processes, decisions made and code API

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.
