Responsibilities

As a senior product engineer you will lead projects for our VR and screen-based applications. Working within a product team, you will help build production-ready software in a highly modularised, loosely coupled way.

Through this work, you'll champion software engineering best practices, and design testable, maintainable, extensible, and scalable solutions across our product ecosystem (VR, screen, desktop, and mobile apps).

In this process, automated test coverage is important (where possible) to avoid repeated manual testing and debugging. You know how to balance tech debts in complex problem domains. You know how to balance tooling development to accelerate our work and when to avoid over-engineering. You can go deep into the Unity ecosystem and learn very quickly in a new domain.

You'll be passionate about the products we build, having a strong understanding of who we are building for and what value the product delivers. You will advocate for deep tech solutions to exploit opportunities and solve problems within our product domains.
