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 designing and implementing networking stacks that optimize performance and synchronization across different engines. You thrive on architecting multiplayer systems from first principles, ensuring that every byte and packet is optimized for performance.

You are familiar with the challenges of streaming simulation states and have a deep understanding of synchronization models that mitigate latency. Your expertise extends to developing engine-agnostic solutions that enhance visual consistency and user experience. You are eager to collaborate with a team that is pushing the boundaries of what is possible in interconnected game ecosystems.

What you'll do

In this role, you will design and build networking systems that stream Unity simulation states to external hosts, balancing bandwidth, latency, and visual consistency. You will invent new synchronization models from first principles, focusing on engine-agnostic interpolation, prediction, rollback, and distributed authority models. Your work will involve optimizing bandwidth through bit-level manipulation and ensuring that the networking stack can handle the complexities of different game engines.

You will collaborate closely with engineers across various disciplines, including graphics and core engine technology, to create a seamless experience for users. Your contributions will be critical in shaping the future of real-time 3D runtimes and how they communicate and render under real-world constraints. You will also have the opportunity to mentor junior engineers and share your knowledge with the team, fostering a culture of innovation and excellence.

What we offer

Unity offers a competitive salary range of $153,400—$230,200 USD, along with a comprehensive benefits package. You will be part of a dynamic team that is dedicated to pushing the limits of technology in the gaming industry. We encourage you to apply even if your experience doesn't match every requirement, as we value diverse perspectives and backgrounds.
