Senior Software Engineer (Web Platform)

• 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
