Description

  • Design and build networking systems that stream Unity simulation state to external hosts while balancing bandwidth, latency, convergence, and visual consistency.
  • Invent synchronization models from first principles, including engine-agnostic interpolation, prediction, rollback, and distributed authority models.
  • Architect and implement a networking stack to synchronize game state between distinct engines.
  • Optimize bandwidth through bit-level serialization, delta compression, and message dispatch schemes.
  • Diagnose and fix end-to-end desyncs, race conditions, and jitter under real-world network conditions.
  • Work at the intersection of core engine technology, high-performance networking, distributed systems, and graphics.

Requirements

  • Strong C++ and C# skills.
  • Experience with transport layers, reliability, topology design, serialization, and real-time synchronization for high-performance games.
  • Track record shipping scalable multiplayer systems for latency-sensitive games such as FPS, action, MMO, or similar.
  • Experience writing or heavily extending a networking library, not just using one.
  • Distributed systems experience with large-scale systems such as MMORPGs, cloud gaming, or simulations where synchronization and determinism matter.
  • Comfort capturing raw packets to diagnose timing issues or optimize at the bit level.
  • Fluency with networking models such as authoritative server, deterministic lockstep, and peer-to-peer (preferred).
  • Background with cloud game servers, containerization, and orchestration on GCP, AWS, or Azure (preferred).
  • Experience in network security, encryption, or cheat prevention (preferred).
  • Exposure to Unity DOTS or similar high-performance, data-oriented frameworks (preferred).
  • Sufficient knowledge of English for frequent professional verbal and written communication with global colleagues and partners.

Benefits

  • Gross pay salary range of $153,400 to $230,200 USD.
  • Comprehensive health, life, and disability insurance.
  • Employee stock ownership.
  • Competitive retirement/pension plans.
  • Generous vacation and personal days.
  • Support for new parents through leave and family-care programs.
  • Mental health and wellbeing programs and support.
  • Commute subsidy, office snacks, employee resource groups, global employee assistance program, training and development programs, and volunteering/donation matching program.
