Unity empowers millions of creators worldwide to build groundbreaking real‑time games, apps, and experiences across countless genres, platforms, and devices. As our technology stack has grown more powerful and complex, the need for real‑world validation of innovations prior to broad release has become critical. The Production Verification (PV) Program embeds our Unity Studio Productions (USP) team directly into strategic partner game productions and ensures that every major advancement, optimization, or feature we build is proven in production, before it reaches our broader Unity ecosystem.

• Build expertise in Unity development workflows and cloud services, enabling you to confidently, open, build, assess, and discuss Unity projects.
• Champion production quality by ensuring PV scores reflect readiness and deliver value to customers.

What we're looking for

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, Technical, Art or a related field, or equivalent experience.

• Effective written/verbal communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to translate technical concepts for diverse audiences and foster productive stakeholder relationships.
• Commitment to continuous learning and growth, staying current with evolving Unity technologies, industry trends, and production best practices.
