Multiplayer Netcode Developer

We believe work is better when people are in the same physical space together. At Unity, we offer a hybrid-first approach that fosters the alignment and connectedness we get from being together while retaining the benefits of flexibility. Employees are expected to work from an office on average 3-days a week unless otherwise agreed with the company or specified in their employment contract.

The opportunity

Game developers repeatedly say that multiplayer game creation remains one of their hardest challenges; balancing ease of use with performance and flexibility remains unsolved. As a result, we’ve seen far too little innovation in multiplayer games over the last decade, while creativity in single-player games has thrived.

We are looking for a Senior Netcode Developer to help us define and build the server development experience at Unity. In this role, you will be given the freedom to drive initiatives targeted at decreasing iteration time and improving performances at scale for millions of users! Help us unlock the next generation of multiplayer game development!

• Architect and implement features that streamline the server workflow development and deployment
• Build Unity Editor features aimed at multiplayer developers for quick networked iterations, server creation, automation, and deployment
• Work closely with the other multiplayer teams to collaborate on tooling and workflow requirements
• Write and maintain production-quality code and tests

What we’re looking for

• Prior experience with the Unity Engine
• Experience in either of C, C++, C#
• Familiarity with modern real-time networking concepts
• Ability to conceptualize, communicate, and deliver engineering initiatives

You might also have

• Experience with high-performance programming, multithreading, and memory management
