Your work will span gameplay systems, UI, performance optimization, networking, automation, and platform-specific challenges.

You’ll also help shape engineering standards and explore new AI-powered workflows that make development faster without compromising quality.

This is an ideal environment for a creative, technically strong developer who enjoys ownership, experimentation, and building games at scale.

Accountabilities

• Develop and maintain high-quality mobile games in Unity for iOS and Android platforms.
• Build gameplay systems, UI, animations, VFX, audio features, and live-operations functionality using clean and scalable C# code.
• Use AI-powered development tools to accelerate coding, debugging, testing, refactoring, documentation, and rapid prototyping while maintaining production-quality standards.
• Critically review and validate AI-generated code before integrating it into production systems.
• Collaborate with designers, producers, artists, backend engineers, and QA to deliver polished and engaging player experiences.
• Prototype gameplay mechanics quickly, gather feedback, and iterate on features throughout development.
• Optimize CPU, GPU, memory, battery usage, and overall performance across a broad range of mobile devices using Unity profiling tools.
• Diagnose and resolve complex gameplay, networking, memory, and platform-specific issues.
• Implement and maintain integrations involving REST APIs, WebSockets, and multiplayer networking.
• Contribute to CI/CD processes, build automation, deployment pipelines, reusable systems, and internal development tools.
• Participate in code reviews and help establish strong engineering standards and development practices.
• Evaluate emerging AI tools and workflows that can improve development velocity while considering quality, security, and technical limitations.
• Participate actively in Agile ceremonies, including sprint planning, daily standups, and iterative development cycles.
  
  

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Interactive Media, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• 5+ years of professional experience developing mobile games with Unity.
• At least two shipped mobile game titles.
• Excellent proficiency in C# and strong software engineering fundamentals.
• Strong knowledge of Unity architecture, UI Toolkit or uGUI, prefabs, asset management, animation, audio, and scene management.
• Experience developing both 2D and 3D mobile games.
• Proven experience optimizing mobile applications across CPU, GPU, memory, and battery performance.
• Experience with REST APIs, WebSockets, multiplayer systems, or related networked game technologies.
• Strong debugging, analytical, and problem-solving abilities.
• Experience working within Agile development environments.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills across technical and creative disciplines.
• Comfortable using AI coding assistants such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Unity AI, or similar tools.
• Ability to write effective prompts for technical development tasks and use AI to accelerate coding, debugging, documentation, testing, and refactoring.
• Strong judgment when reviewing AI-generated output, with the ability to test, improve, and validate solutions rather than relying on them without verification.
• Understanding of the limitations, risks, and security considerations associated with AI-assisted software development.
• A proactive mindset and willingness to continuously experiment with new development workflows.
