Job summary

Unity is seeking a graphics engineer to join the Vulkan Graphics team and help ship a new renderer across the platforms Unity supports. You’ll work at the core of Unity’s graphics stack, building rendering foundations relied on by millions of creators.

You’ll focus on real-time rendering, optimizing CPU/GPU performance, and bringing up Vulkan and GPU capabilities as hardware evolves, while collaborating with cross‑functional engine teams to solve complex rendering challenges.

Qualifications

• C++ experience writing performance-critical, multi-threaded systems.
• Hands-on experience with a modern graphics API — Direct3D 12, Metal or Vulkan.
• An understanding of real-time 3D graphics, including modern GPU architecture, resource management and synchronization.
• The ability to diagnose rendering bugs and performance issues using industry-standard tools.
• A proactive, solution-oriented approach and a real interest in rendering and cross-platform development.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain Unity's Vulkan renderer, delivering a consistent, high-quality rendering experience across the platforms and hardware Unity supports.
• Push performance on both the CPU and GPU side — frame time, memory, and how efficiently Unity drives the hardware.
• Help bring up new Vulkan and GPU capabilities as graphics hardware evolves.
• Contribute to the cross-platform abstraction that lets Unity target multiple graphics APIs.
• Work with stakeholders and higher-level engine teams to solve problems as they come up.
• Take part in technical design reviews and code reviews.
