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 possess deep knowledge of Unity and its capabilities, enabling you to effectively stream simulation states and synchronize game data. Your understanding of authority models and replication strategies allows you to create innovative solutions that mitigate latency and enhance user experience.

You are comfortable working in a collaborative environment, where you can communicate effectively with cross-functional teams. Your problem-solving skills enable you to tackle challenges head-on, ensuring that the systems you design are robust and efficient.

Desirable

Experience with various game engines and their networking capabilities is a plus. Familiarity with optimization techniques for bandwidth and latency will help you excel in this role.

What you'll do

In this role, you will design and implement networking systems that stream Unity simulation states to external hosts. You will balance bandwidth, latency, and visual consistency to create seamless experiences for users. Your work will involve inventing new synchronization models that are engine-agnostic, focusing on interpolation, prediction, and rollback techniques.

You will collaborate closely with other engineers to develop a networking stack that synchronizes game states across different engines. This requires a deep understanding of how to optimize every byte and packet for performance, ensuring that the systems you create can handle the demands of real-time interactions.

Your responsibilities will also include testing and refining the networking systems you build, ensuring they meet the high standards expected in the gaming industry. You will have the opportunity to innovate and push the boundaries of what is possible in interconnected game ecosystems.

What we offer

Unity provides a dynamic work environment where creativity and innovation are encouraged. You will be part of a team that is at the forefront of developing cutting-edge technology for real-time 3D applications. Competitive compensation is offered, with a salary range of $153,400 to $230,200 USD based on experience and location.

We value diversity and inclusion, and we encourage you to apply even if your experience doesn't match every requirement. Join us in shaping the future of gaming and 3D environments.
