The opportunity

At Unity, we believe the world is a better place with more creators in it. Creator success starts with providing the tools, content, and services they need to succeed. The Unity Engine is used by millions of creators around the world to build powerful and engaging real-time experiences. At the heart of this is graphics, from the initial point of content creation to the final pixels on the target device.

The Graphics Device Group develops and maintains low level graphics abstractions for the world's most widely used RT3D graphics backend. As architect for the group you will provide technical oversight for these efforts without taking on personnel management responsibilities. You’ll engage in close collaboration with stakeholders in this area, including other internal teams in the graphics organization and external partners. You’ll provide vision and direction for the advancement of Unity’s graphics technologies helping to guide and build a foundational graphics layer fit to take on the challenges of emerging technologies and to meet the diverse needs of Unitys customer base. You’ll work closely with the Senior Manager of the Graphics Device group to ensure the success of the team. 

If you are an authentic & empathetic technical leader with a passion for the future of low level graphics and for fostering a healthy work environment then this role is made up for you! The team is based in North America and Europe and the role may involve limited travel to other Unity offices in order to meet your colleagues.

• Solid programming skills (C#/C++/Shading Languages) and experience in designing cross platform hardware and API abstractions.
• Initiative to push boundaries, challenge the status quo and guide engineering best practices.

You might also have
