Unity Developer

We’re hiring a mid-level Unity Developer to build and maintain real-time 3D experiences. You’ll work independently on clearly defined work, collaborating with design and engineering partners to deliver stable features and smooth performance in a production environment.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and iterate on Unity 3D scenes, gameplay systems, and tools using C#
  • Implement and integrate UI flows and user interactions tied to game/application state
  • Optimize runtime performance (frame rate, memory usage, loading times) for target platforms
  • Maintain clean, testable code and follow Unity and engineering best practices
  • Debug complex issues across editor and runtime environments and implement durable fixes
  • Collaborate with stakeholders to translate requirements into shippable features
  • Set up and maintain reliable build and release processes for Unity projects

Must-have qualifications

  • Hands-on Unity 3D development with C# in production environments
  • Experience building gameplay and interactive systems using Unity components and scripting
  • Strong debugging skills for Unity editor/runtime issues with an understanding of Unity lifecycle
  • Proven ability to optimize performance for real-time 3D applications (FPS, memory, loading times)
  • Experience integrating UI and input handling within Unity

Nice to have

  • Experience with version control workflows (e.g., Git) and managing Unity project structure
  • Familiarity with Unity asset pipelines and performance-oriented asset/material setup
  • Experience targeting multiple platforms and handling platform-specific build constraints

What success looks like in 12 months

  • Ship a steady cadence of new Unity 3D features
  • Improve runtime performance and stability
  • Deliver durable bug fixes with measurable impact
  • Raise code quality and maintainability in the project

Logistics

  • Full-time (40 hours a week), remote from Latin America.
  • Working hours overlap with US business hours.

Interview scorecard

Score every candidate against the same bar

Deliver reliable Unity 3D features with strong performance, maintainable code, and independent execution on well-defined work.

Outcomes to measure

What this hire should deliver in the first year. Replace [N] with your own targets.

  • Ship a steady cadence of new Unity 3D features. Measure: deliver [N] shipped features or feature increments
  • Improve runtime performance and stability. Measure: reduce performance-related incidents by [X]% and maintain target frame-rate for key scenes
  • Deliver durable bug fixes with measurable impact. Measure: close [N] high-priority bugs and reduce repeat incidents of the same root cause by [X]%
  • Raise code quality and maintainability in the project. Measure: meet team coding standards and increase coverage of automated checks where applicable by [X]%

Competencies and weights

What to evaluate, how much it counts and what a strong answer looks like.

Unity C# Production · 27%
Core requirement for delivering Unity features independently and correctly in real projects. Evaluated in Round 1.

  • Weak: Provides Unity code that compiles but requires frequent rework due to incorrect lifecycle usage or integration issues.
  • Meets the bar: Implements features in Unity with correct component/lifecycle usage and predictable behavior across typical states.
  • Strong: Delivers robust, well-structured Unity code that integrates cleanly, minimizes regressions, and explains tradeoffs clearly.

Performance Optimization · 21%
Real-time 3D success depends on measurable performance improvements and informed profiling. Evaluated in Round 2.

  • Weak: Relies on trial-and-error changes without profiling; fixes are incomplete or cause new issues.
  • Meets the bar: Uses Unity profiling to identify bottlenecks and applies targeted optimizations with observable improvements.
  • Strong: Proactively prevents performance regressions with systematic profiling, budgeting, and validation.

Gameplay Systems Implementation · 19%
Ensures the developer can build interactive systems rather than only editing scenes. Evaluated in Round 1.

  • Weak: Implements logic in a tightly coupled way that is hard to extend or debug.
  • Meets the bar: Builds interactive systems using Unity components and scripting with clear state management and extensibility.
  • Strong: Designs systems that are modular, easy to test/extend, and resilient to edge cases.

Debugging Unity Lifecycle · 15%
Mid-level independence requires diagnosing complex editor/runtime issues quickly and correctly. Evaluated in Round 2.

  • Weak: Troubleshoots symptoms only and struggles to explain root cause tied to Unity lifecycle/state.
  • Meets the bar: Identifies root cause and fixes issues by reasoning about lifecycle execution, threading assumptions, and state.
  • Strong: Rapidly isolates issues across editor/runtime, uses logs/profilers effectively, and prevents recurrence.

UI and Input Integration · 12%
Unity experiences often fail at the edges—UI/input integration must be correct and user-friendly. Evaluated in Round 3.

  • Weak: UI/input behavior is inconsistent or tightly coupled to unrelated systems.
  • Meets the bar: Implements UI flows and input handling that correctly reflect application/game state.
  • Strong: Creates clean UI/input architecture with reliable event flow, edge-case handling, and maintainability.

Independent Delivery · 6%
The role is mid-level and must execute independently on well-defined work. Evaluated in Round 3.

  • Weak: Needs frequent guidance to complete tasks and misses acceptance criteria until late.
  • Meets the bar: Breaks down well-defined work, tracks progress, and delivers within expected scope and quality.
  • Strong: Proactively clarifies requirements, manages risks early, and delivers predictable outcomes with minimal oversight.
Interview questions

Questions for every interview round

Each round has an owner, a time box and questions that test the competencies above.

Round 1: Unity Architecture & Feature Implementation
Unity Engineering Lead · 50 min

  1. Tell me about a production Unity feature you built end-to-end. How did you structure the code and integrate it into the existing project?
  2. Walk through how you implemented an interactive gameplay system in Unity (e.g., ability, movement mechanic, interaction logic). How did you manage state and transitions?
  3. Describe a Unity lifecycle-related bug you encountered (e.g., initialization order, Update timing, event subscription). How did you diagnose and fix it?

Round 2: Performance & Debugging
Performance Engineer · 55 min

  1. Describe a time you profiled a Unity project and found a performance bottleneck. What did you measure, what was the root cause, and what specific changes did you make?
  2. Give an example of a complex runtime issue you debugged. What signals/logs/profiling data did you use, and how did you confirm the fix worked?
  3. How do you decide which optimization to prioritize when there are multiple suspected issues (CPU, GC, memory, loading)?

Round 3: UI/Input & Execution
Product/Engineering Manager · 45 min

  1. Tell me about a UI flow you implemented in Unity. How did you connect UI events to game/application state reliably?
  2. Describe how you handled input (buttons/keyboard/controller or touch) and how you prevented conflicting inputs or edge cases.
  3. For a well-defined piece of work you owned independently, how did you break down tasks, validate the outcome, and reduce the chance of regressions?

Red flags to watch for

  • Describes Unity work primarily as scene editing with minimal understanding of C# scripting integration and lifecycle behavior
  • Cannot explain how they measured performance issues or validates fixes with profiling/metrics
  • Relies on guesswork for debugging, without clear root-cause reasoning and reproduction steps
  • Builds UI/input behavior that becomes unreliable under different state transitions or edge cases
  • Needs constant guidance to finish well-defined work rather than independently delivering within scope and quality
