Principal Rendering Engineer

Who Are We

Unity Engine is used by millions of creators around the world to create powerful and engaging real-time experiences. At the heart of this is graphics, from the initial point of content creation down to the final pixels on the target device. In the Graphics Innovation group, we focus on building a deep understanding of upcoming technology trends to help establish and refine the strategic roadmap for Unity graphics. With an eye toward the future, we relentlessly pursue solutions for novel techniques seeking to improve the content creators’ experience for real-time 3D.

The Opportunity

As a Principal Rendering Engineer, you are going to be in a unique position of working alongside some of the most forward-looking technologists in the industry helping to advance the state of real-time graphics and rendering technology. As part of our group, we research and define novel technologies, assisting Unity’s product developers in realizing their goals of solving cutting-edge challenges for graphics. We aim to develop innovations that solve real problems for our users, rather than novelty for its own sake. You will join forces with them to help define a successful landing path for the innovations you’ll be leading to ensure they have real impact on the lives of millions of Unity creators.
