🚀 We’re on a mission to be an everyday entertainment platform for everyone!
Partnered with some of the world’s greatest champions, including Real Madrid FC, Michael Essien and Eder Militao, we’re on the lookout for champions of our own to be a part of some of the biggest, most exciting and most successful online gaming brands in the world.
Sporty, SportyBet, SportyTV and SportyGames are the backbone of the Sporty Group portfolio. With hundreds of millions of visitors globally, if you click ‘apply’, you’ll have the opportunity to be part of something massive.
About The Role
- Sporty Games UK is looking for a Unity developer with in-depth knowledge and experience in optimising game performance across multiple platforms, including mobile.
- The ideal candidate will approach tasks with a focus on performance optimisation from the start. They must be familiar with profiling techniques and tools for different platforms that can highlight areas of a project that can be improved upon.
- The platforms we develop for are Android & iOS, PC, PlayStation 4/5, Xbox One/S and Switch, using mobile as our low-end benchmarks. Experience in all of these is not a requirement, but an understanding of the hardware limitations and capabilities of mobile devices is a desirable and in-depth familiarity with Unity’s use of memory and rendering pipelines is essential.
- The role will involve gameplay mechanics development, but predominantly the chosen candidate will be part of a technology development team that addresses areas that are difficult to ‘maximise’ on low-end devices. Recent examples include: custom cloth mechanics, using shaders to achieve movement and texture variance at runtime, large crowds of people simulation, platform-dependent texture memory management and working with artists to find visual effects solutions that can work within a GPU budget without losing their ‘wow factor’.

- 5+ years of professional Unity development, working in a team on any of the stated platforms
- In-depth knowledge of the C# language

- Experience using Visual Studio for development, testing and debugging
- The desire to learn as new technologies are released, and an ability to communicate findings to others on the team
- Familiarity with Unity’s Addressable Assets
- Set up and direct use of any of Unity’s Render Pipelines
Experience in these areas is highly desirable
- URP familiarisation
- Writing custom shaders (Outside of Shader Graph)
- Multiplayer development of any kind
- Experience in any console submission compliance
- Asset optimisation techniques to reduce draw calls, memory consumption and loading times
- Rendering optimisation techniques to improve rendering performance
- Use of any platform-specific profile and analysis tools, be it XCode, Android Studio or Console Dev Kit.
