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

  • Enthusiastically share your deep expertise in the area of rendering to help build a stronger community of graphics excellence
  • Mentor and provide expert guidance and leadership in the field within Unity and with the industry at large

What We Are Looking For

  • Passionate rendering enthusiasts (who are good humans!) and care to work in a collaborative, supportive, and thriving team
  • Extensive knowledge of real-time graphics and modern computer APIs and hardware architectures. You know how to get the most out of GPUs and CPUs.
  • Proven experience with modern engine systems, rendering architectures and real-world productions
  • Solid programming skills (C#/C++/Shading Languages)
  • BS degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.

You Might Also Have

  • Extensive experience of working on large multi-platform engines
  • Successfully shipped AAA games on mobile or consoles | PCs
  • In-depth knowledge of photorealistic rendering techniques (Physically-Based Rendering, Real-Time Ray Tracing, Global Illumination, Computational Geometry, MIS, and more)
  • Familiarity with the Unity engine
