About the Role

We move fast. Ideas get tested today — not six months from now. We're looking for a Senior Unity Engineer who doesn't just implement features but elevates the entire technical foundation of the game. You'll be a hands-on force across gameplay, backend systems, and our evolving AI-assisted pipeline — shipping live-service experiences that millions of players love.

Requirements

Gameplay Engineering

• Implement new game modes, monsters, items, loot systems, and player mechanics that are instantly fun and built for social spread.
• Build and iterate on monthly live-ops events - from concept to ship - working directly with design and art.
• Own UI implementation end-to-end: responsive, performant, and polished across VR, mobile, and web.
• Debug and resolve live-service issues fast, with a bias toward permanent fixes over quick patches.
• Collaborate hands-on with artists to bring new content into the game without compromising performance.

Backend Systems & Unity Pipeline Note: Strong preference for candidates with meaningful backend and pipeline experience

• Design and maintain scalable backend architecture supporting live multiplayer, player moderation, telemetry, and on-demand asset delivery (Asset Bundles, Addressables).
• Own and evolve the Unity asset pipeline — build systems, addressable loading strategies, Editor tooling, and CI/CD integration — so the team ships faster and with fewer surprises.
• Architect and optimize data flows between game client and backend services (REST, WebSocket, or equivalent), with a focus on reliability and low latency.
• Partner with infrastructure on server-side logic, matchmaking, and live-service event orchestration.
• Keep dependency management, versioning, and package structure clean and developer-friendly.

AI-Assisted Development & Tooling

• Evaluate, integrate, and champion AI-assisted tools across the engineering workflow — code generation, procedural content, playtesting automation, or NPC behavior - with a sharp eye for what actually ships value.
• Partner with the Creative
