Team, about the role

• Support designers during playable assembly: logic integration, optimization, and best-practice consultations.
• Create and refine game mechanics, interfaces, and interactive advertising projects (Playable Ads) in Unity.
• Participate in R&D: explore new technologies, propose improvements, and evolve the framework.
• Optimize Unity solutions for performance and stability, maintain technical documentation.

Requirements

• 5+ years of commercial experience with Unity and strong proficiency in C#.
• Proficiency in HLSL and Shader Graph; experience with Unity rendering (2D+3D): Built-in, URP.
• Confident knowledge of standard Unity modules: Physics (2D/3D), Prefabs, Particle Systems, Post-Processing, Lighting, etc.
• Experience developing internal tools or custom editors for designers.
• Ability to analyze existing code and maintain high technical quality.

Preferred

• Experience with casual animations and visual style.
