Senior Software Engineer

Who you are

• Deep, hands-on proficiency with C++ in performance sensitive code
• Development experience with WebAssembly, using Emscripten and/or LLVM
• Ability to decompose complex technical problems and complete them on your own technical judgment
• Experience profiling, debugging and optimizing across the native and browser boundary
• Working knowledge of C# and JavaScript
• Effective written/verbal communication with peers, managers and key decision makers in other teams
• A proven track record of mentoring engineers and raising code quality standards
• Experience contributing to a browser engine or browser runtime
• Deeper domain knowledge of rendering, physics or audio in a real-time 3D engine
• Familiarity with compression methodologies and build size reduction

What the job involves

• In this role, you will own meaningful areas of the runtime outright. This is not website development. We embed Unity inside the browser, and the problems are the deep ones: making a single-threaded platform multi-threaded, cutting megabytes out of a build, getting a game playable in seconds rather than minutes
• You will work alongside engineers who helped invent the browser technology we build on, and you will help the people around you grow
• Own meaningful areas of the Unity Web runtime, from design through to release
• Research, design and implement optimizations to the Web build target, such as stripping unused code from builds and progressively loading assets as a game needs them
• Improve download size, load and startup performance for Web builds, and set measurable targets for it
• Solve uncommon, low-level problems across C++, C# and JavaScript, for example bringing multi-threading to parts of the runtime that are single-threaded today
• Partner with teams across Unity who build on the Web platform, translating what they need into platform work
• Mentor teammates and help set the bar for code quality across the team
• Keep Unity at the frontier of the Web's constantly evolving capabilities
