The opportunity
Connected real-time applications are rapidly becoming ubiquitous across social, entertainment, and many industries. Game developers repeatedly say that multiplayer game creation remains one of their hardest challenges; balancing ease-of-use with performance and flexibility remains unsolved. As a result, we’ve seen far too little innovation in multiplayer games over the last decade, while creativity in single-player games has thrived.
At Unity, our customers build all kinds of experiences not only across game genres but beyond games as well. Our netcode solutions need the versatility to meet the demands of these applications, enabling new and larger experiences to be made. As Multiplayer Development Manager, you will manage a team passionate about our new, open-source, netcode SDK. Come help us build a performant & flexible networking stack, and a modern development experience tailored to creating next generation of interactive experiences!
What you’ll be doing
- Direct a team of developers passionate about bringing innovative multiplayer experiences to life
- Define the feature roadmap for multiplayer development in Unity
- Deliver a netcode architecture that can evolve and enable many kinds of Unity projects
- Mentor and support your team with their daily work and their professional growth
What we’re looking for
- Experience leading a team
- Familiarity with modern game engines and core game systems
- Strong collaboration and communication skills
- Experience as a network developer specializing in real-time applications
You might also have
- Experience with high-performance programming, multi-threading, and memory management
