The opportunity

The AI Platform & Ecosystem team is in charge of creating a platform that enables deep integration of AI features into our suite of editor tools. By integrating these features, we aim to empower our users with the level of convenience, artistic control and interoperability in their game development workflows that they need to bring their ideas to life.

AI is an essential part of Unity’s growing product offering for all creators, and our platform enables Unity to take advantage of a variety of cutting edge advancements being done in the space. In this role, you will help shape the future global services for this expansive AI integration effort. This includes integration with AI services created and hosted by Unity as well as 3rd party partners.

We are seeking a versatile, self-motivated, senior programmer who is able to work at various levels of abstraction, and be an active technical leader. It is crucial that you enjoy teamwork, since you’ll be joining us to put together a product which sets Unity standards. We are looking for a specialist in C# .NET Web APIs. Not a generalist. You should be a passionate developer who likes to write high quality code that is easily maintainable and testable. Ideally you like being flexible, like working on the high-level architecture of a feature, then implementing the code for it.

This is a good opportunity for the appropriate candidate, who will find us friendly and supportive, and who will appreciate working with talented developers within the Unity environment.

• Enhance our AI platform by writing high quality production code
• Communicate Effectively: Provide clear solutions and feedback through documentation, collaboration, and bug reports.
• Optimize Performance: Focus on reducing code size, minimizing memory usage, and increasing execution speed
• Ensuring backend services are secure, reliable and observable using infrastructure as code on the Microsoft Azure cloud

What we're looking for

• Extensive experience with C# / .NET 6/7/8
• Expertise with RESTful APIs, usage of cloud offerings including databases, publish-subscribe systems and observability stacks
• Proven expertise in debugging, profiling, and optimizing applications in a production environment, including evolving an existing service as scale or interaction complexity grows.
• Strong understanding of software development best practices and design patterns, a quality-first mentality and approach
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with successful experience aligning multiple stakeholders to deliver complex solutions

You might also have

• Experience with Python, generative AI techniques including diffusion, MLOps frameworks like MLFlow used for deployment of models and associated checkpoints for user inference
• Experience with Azure cloud offerings
