The opportunity

Unity is growing our ML, AI, & Product recruiting team, and we want you to help us find the people who will build what's next. You will partner directly with hiring managers across a high-speed, high-performing organization, running a full-cycle recruiting process from first conversation to signed offer. You will be trusted to move fast, use good judgment, and bring both technical rigor and genuine care to every candidate interaction. This is a meaningful role for someone who wants ownership over how a team hires, not just who it hires. Join us and help shape a recruiting function built on candor, urgency, and respect.


What you'll be doing
  • Build and maintain trusted relationships with hiring managers, turning open roles into clear, well-scoped searches
  • Evaluate technical talent thoughtfully, including on roles where you are not the subject-matter expert, and loop in the right partners at the right time
  • Partner with multi-functional teams, including Trio partners, to align on decisions and keep the process moving
  • Use AI tools to strengthen sourcing, screening, and candidate communication
  • Manage and close candidates at every level, including senior and highest-stakes searches, with a focus on the business's needs
  • Communicate candidly with hiring managers and candidates, even when the message is a hard one
  • Act with urgency to keep candidates warm and searches on track without cutting corners

What we're looking for
  • Track record of building strong, trusted relationships with hiring managers
  • Comfortable evaluating technical talent, including for roles outside your own subject-matter expertise
  • Experience closing candidates at senior or high-stakes levels, including when your offer isn't the highest on the table
  • Practiced in using AI tools as part of a recruiting workflow
  • Comfortable making decisions jointly with multi-functional partners, even without full agreement
  • Know when to ask for help versus solving something independently
  • Effective written and verbal communication, including delivering candid feedback

You might also have
  • Experience recruiting specifically for AI, applied research, or ML roles
  • Familiarity with structured interview techniques and competency-based interview frameworks

The final offer amount will depend on several factors, including geographic location and the candidate’s relevant experience, professional background, and skill set.
