Unity Developer

We are looking for a highly skilled Senior Unity Developer with strong experience in multiplayer game development. While Photon Multiplayer expertise is important, we welcome candidates with experience in other multiplayer technologies as well, such as Mirror, Netcode for GameObjects (Unity Multiplayer), or custom solutions.

Creativity and a willingness to learn are important, but above all, it is also essential that you are able to use Unity at a high level.

If you are passionate about gaming and have the skills to help take our projects to new heights, we'd love to have you on our team!

For which tasks (responsibilities)?

✔️ Design, develop, and optimize multiplayer systems using Photon, Mirror, Netcode for GameObjects, or custom networking solutions.

✔️ Implement and manage backend services and infrastructure for multiplayer features, including server hosting, cloud services, and database management.

✔️ Collaborate with the design and art teams to develop multiplayer gameplay mechanics, systems, and match-making functionality.

✔️ Ensure robust performance of multiplayer features across different platforms, optimising for latency, synchronisation, and resource consumption.

✔️ Develop and maintain cross-platform multiplayer functionality across mobile, console, and PC.

✔️ Implement features related to multiplayer lobbies, friends systems, leaderboards, matchmaking, and progression systems.

✔️ Write clean, maintainable, and efficient code while ensuring modular and scalable multiplayer architecture.

✔️ Proactively identify and resolve multiplayer-specific issues, such as network desynchronization, player state management, and player cheating.

✔️ Develop and execute multiplayer testing strategies, including stress testing and large-scale multiplayer simulations.

✔️ Mentor and lead junior developers, particularly in the area of multiplayer development and networked game systems.

✔️ Monitor server performance and scalability, ensuring minimal downtime and optimal player experiences.

✔️ Stay up-to-date with the latest multiplayer technologies and industry trends, contributing innovative ideas and solutions for multiplayer gaming experiences.

✔️ Ensure compliance with platform-specific multiplayer policies, such as those required by console or mobile storefronts (e.g., Xbox Live, PlayStation Network, Google Play Games Services, Game Center).

✔️ Work closely with the QA team to debug and fix multiplayer-specific bugs and implement effective testing strategies for multiplayer components.
