Role Description

We're looking for a Senior Unity Generalist to act as Technical Lead on a 6-month contract to help us finish and ship our next puzzle game in Unity 6.

The game is built on the shapez 2 codebase, a large C# project with over 400k LoC across 100+ assemblies. A large part of the game already exists. We’re looking for support in completing the final stretch:

• Working on UI, bugs, scene and art integration, as well as gameplay features.
• Joining a small team of engineers, artists, and designers.
• Collaborating with the studio Lead of Engineering to get the game shipped on time.

Responsibilities

• Bring a number of game features from early functional phases to polished and shippable.
• Build and finish UI screens and flows from designer documents and mockups.
• Integrate art environments and scenes into the game.
• Iterate on gameplay features with game design, and close the gaps in their specifications.
• Find and fix bugs anywhere in the codebase, including older Shapez 2 code.
• Keep the game stable for external playtests.
• Work with other engineers to find the right solutions, balancing speed, product impact, and code quality.
• Coordinate with the producer on the project, and work on the plan to achieve our target dates.
• Improve the team's tools and workflows, including AI-assisted coding, so the speed-up stays after your contract ends.

Qualifications

• Professional C# experience in Unity, shipping features that players used.
• Shipped at least one Unity game, including its final months before release.
• Experience with AI-assisted coding tools, and the judgement to review their output.
• Owned features end to end without detailed acceptance criteria.

Additional Qualifications

• Acted as technical lead for a small engineering team, including teaching them tools or workflows.
• Built game UI in Unity with uGUI.
• Worked with UniTask, Addressables or Odin Inspector.
• Built a game client that talks to an online backend.
• Written automated tests in Unity.
• Worked on a puzzle, factory or automation game.
• Previously joined teams who are working on games with existing codebases.

Benefits

• A 6-month direct contract.
• An option to extend the contract for post-launch support.
• Fully remote.
• Start immediately.

Next Steps & How to Apply

• We want to decide within two weeks of your application.
• A technical interview with the Engineering Team Lead: discussing games you shipped and teams you led.
• An HR and culture interview with our HR and Founder/CEO or Studio Producer about the contract and how we will work together.
• A bug-fix task: under NDA, clone our game and fix 1-2 real (small!) bugs from our backlog with the tools you normally use, and receive a 50 euro gift voucher as thanks.
• We are happy to discuss any requested accommodation to the above process.
