Network Engineer • Senior

Who you are

You have a strong background in networking and distributed systems, with a passion for real-time 3D environments. Your experience includes architecting multiplayer systems from first principles, and you thrive on optimizing performance for complex interactions across different game engines. You are eager to invent new synchronization models and authority strategies to enhance user experiences in interconnected ecosystems.

You possess a deep understanding of how different real-time 3D runtimes communicate and render under real-world constraints. Your technical skills include proficiency in Unity and a solid grasp of networking principles, enabling you to tackle challenges related to bandwidth, latency, and visual consistency. You are a problem solver who enjoys working at the intersection of core engine technology and high-performance networking.

What you'll do

In this role, you will design and build networking systems that stream Unity simulation state to external hosts, ensuring optimal performance while balancing bandwidth and latency. You will invent new synchronization models from first principles, focusing on mitigating latency through engine-agnostic interpolation, prediction, rollback, and distributed authority models. Your work will involve architecting a networking stack that synchronizes game state between distinct engines, pushing the boundaries of standard multiplayer replication.

You will collaborate with a team of engineers to develop innovative solutions that enhance the user experience in real-time 3D environments. Your responsibilities will include optimizing bandwidth through bit-level adjustments and ensuring visual consistency across different platforms. You will also have the opportunity to contribute to the next generation of interconnected game ecosystems, making a significant impact on how users interact with 3D content.

What we offer

Unity provides a dynamic work environment where you can contribute to groundbreaking projects in the gaming industry. You will have the chance to work remotely from Canada, allowing for flexibility in your work-life balance. The company values innovation and encourages you to apply even if your experience doesn't match every requirement.
