Role description

The opportunity

In Core we are looking for a senior engineer that loves solving complex problems and has a passion for the development experience within Unity. In our view, solving complex problems requires a desire to understand users’ workflows and challenges, creativity, certain risk taking and the ability to work well within a team. It also requires being able to take decisions, iterate, work with feedback and learn.

Core is a part of R&D and we are looking for a Senior Engineer to be based in Stockholm or Berlin to work with us on our Input system. Input is at the heart of what makes real-time projects created in Unity interactive.

The team

The team consists of six passionate engineers with development, quality-assurance or product design backgrounds and is also supported by a Technical Program Manager and a Product Manager. The team operates remotely with team members primarily being located at Unity offices in Stockholm, Berlin, Copenhagen and Pittsburgh. We work according to agile principles and continuously try to improve both how we work and continuously evolve our product to meet user expectations. The team works closely with platform-specific teams to build support for creators to target many different platforms or devices with a single implementation effort.

The challenge

We are on a continuous quest to support use-cases for games and other interactive experiences and craft the tools that enable Unity users to successfully realize their creative visions - across platform boundaries. A big part of the challenge is supporting a wide range of input methods and devices technically: keyboards, mice, gamepads, touch, gestures, VR controllers etc. on a large number of target platforms lik desktop, mobile, consoles etc. This drives a need to craft a flexible and consistent toolbox of technical solutions that at the same time supports an appealing user onboarding process that allows Unity users to learn the basic concepts and slowly transition to more advanced concepts.

What you will be doing

Help improve the quality and stability of our existing Input System package.
Enable users to transition from the legacy Input API to to the new Input System as effortlessly as possible by providing documentation, example projects and through tool and API design.
Develop new functionality to enable users to quickly set up controls for multiple platforms ranging from mobile to VR.
Participate in team and cross-team discussion and initiatives to find and build solutions to support use-cases requested by our users.
Work with support and abstraction of a multitude of input devices ranging from traditional devices such as keyboards and mice to touchscreens and VR controllers.
Work with the full software life-cycle of software development ranging from finding solutions, prototyping, implementing, testing and releasing.

What we are looking for

Understanding of large code bases involving C# and C++ and desire to solve the challenges it can bring.
Empathy for our users. At Unity we put users first.
Willingness to learn and grow as an engineer and as a person.
Someone who wants to solve problems together with fellow team-mates and across team-boundaries to let the best ideas win.
Someone who thinks knowledge-sharing is important and wants to contribute to developing both the team and your co-workers.
Someone who is passionate about technology and developing high-quality software.

You might also have
