The opportunity

Are you passionate about usability and performance? We’re rebuilding the core of Unity with the Data-Oriented Technology Stack (DOTS). DOTS makes great games run faster on multi-core processors without the heavy programming headache. Our team focuses on making DOTS an easily usable API that lets users achieve the greatest performance while writing code that is easy to understand and re-use!

You will work as part of our team to prototype new language and API features that directly help users. These features will be developed in C#, but will also utilize new compiler features. We will work together to test out new designs and ship them to users.

Expect to learn a lot about performance and the C# language. We work intimately with Microsoft C# language and are pushing the bounds of what it can do. Everything we do is driven by both performance and usability!
