Senior Software Engineer, Graphics

Unity is a leading game engine company powering games and enabling 3D design, simulation, and collaboration across industries. The Senior Software Engineer, Graphics will build infrastructure that connects Unity content with third-party renderers and 3D environments, focusing on graphics translation, scene-state representation, networking, rendering performance, and scalable systems.

Responsibilities:

• Map Unity graphics and rendering features onto third-party renderers while preserving visual consistency and performance
• Develop compact scene-state representations and compression strategies for meshes, materials, textures, animations, transforms, deltas, and dependency graphs across local and networked execution
• Engineer robust graphical systems that remain stable and resource-efficient even when scaled to massive user-generated content libraries
• Profile and optimize end-to-end rendering for high framerates and fidelity while minimizing overhead and sync stalls

Requirements:

• Significant experience with Unity's rendering architecture, and at least one other high-end renderer (Unreal, Frostbite, etc)
• Strong understanding of shader languages (HLSL/GLSL/Metal) and graphics APIs (DirectX, Vulkan, Metal), and the ability to translate between them
• You understand the full asset lifecycle—from authoring through import, batching, streaming, and rendering—including shader compilation, mesh processing, and texture streaming
• You prioritize building stable, scalable, maintainable systems over chasing the latest graphics techniques
• Relocation support is not available for this position
• Work visa/immigration sponsorship is not available for this position
• This position requires the incumbent to have a sufficient knowledge of English to have professional verbal and written exchanges in this language since the performance of the duties related to this position requires frequent and regular communication with colleagues and partners located worldwide and whose common language is English
• Experience writing shader cross-compilers, AST manipulators, or shader graph backends
• Background in networked graphics APIs, pixel-based streaming, cloud rendering, or virtualized GPUs
• Experience building deterministic record/replay systems for rendering, simulation, networking, testing, or debugging
• Familiarity with MCPs, agentic tool frameworks, AI-assisted content pipelines, synthetic data generation, ML-based asset optimization, or automated scene analysis
