What You Will Do

- Own initiatives that increase the modularity and maintainability of the codebase.
- Mentor engineers through code reviews design sessions and technical deep-dives.
What Were Looking For
- 5 years of professional experience with Unity (C#) focusing on systems engineering tools or platform development (not just gameplay).

- Strong debugging skills especially in performance memory usage and threading/concurrency.
- Deep understanding of Unitys AssetBundle pipeline scene loading addressables rendering pipeline and lifecycle.
- Experience with cross-platform development (iOS/Android/PC) and profiling tools (e.g. Instruments Android Profiler Unity Profiler etc.).
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines Jenkins Git Actions or similar automation tools.
- Strong collaboration skills to work with cross-functional partners across product art and engineering.
Bonus Points
- Unity upgrade and migration experience (e.g. Unity 2021 to Unity 6).
- Experience with native plugins Unitys Burst compiler or Jobs system.
- Proficiency in low-level performance optimisation and memory management (e.g. GC allocations object pooling).
- Knowledge of Protobuf WebSocket gRPC or custom networking protocols.
- Prior work on LiveOps infrastructure experimentation platforms or A/B testing systems.
- Familiarity with backend-client coordination for data sync event triggers and telemetry.
- Exposure to mobile-specific challenges: device fragmentation patching app store constraints.
