Unity Game Developer

About Sporty Games
Sporty consistently tops the charts as one of, if not the most used, sports betting websites in the countries we operate in.

With millions of weekly active users, we strive to be the best in the industry for our users.

🚀 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’.

You should apply if you have
- 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 Unity’s profiler and performance analysis tools
- 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.

What’s in it for you?
- A role in a new hybrid working game studio – 3 days a week in Bournemouth, 2 remote preferred, but fully remote will be considered for the right candidate.
- Competitive salary, generous holiday entitlement, pension and healthcare provision.
- Our core working hours are 10am-4pm, with flexibility outside of this.
- We want our teams to perform as best they can, so we’ll set you up with a top-of-the-line computer.

Sporty is independently managed and financed, meaning we don’t have arbitrary shareholder or VC targets to cater to. So if you decide to join us on this amazing journey, we can guarantee a stable and solid working environment with some of the best team members around.

Benefits
Company health insurance
Pension contributions
22 days paid annual leave plus bank holidays
We have core hours of 10am-4pm in a local timezone, but flexible hours outside of this
Top-of-the-line equipment
Annual company retreats

Our business is globally established and successful, offering stability and security to our Team Members
