Unity’s graphics drivers team is the foundation of all rendering at Unity. From the billions of mobile games, PC and console titles, XR experiences, or other real-time rendering applications, every pixel Unity renders flows through our code. We are the ultimate cross-platform engineering team, doing graphics on virtually every graphically-capable device in the marketplace today.

Our team is responsible for the application interface to the graphics hardware, which we implement using industry-standard graphics APIs like Vulkan, Direct3D, Metal, and WebGPU, to name a few.

Collaborate with other Unity R&D organizations to support and advise on the development and maintenance of our rendering approaches and pipelines

Support and develop testing, optimization frameworks, and other diagnostic tools to maintain product quality and performance

What we're looking for

Minimum of a Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or other related scientific discipline, or equivalent experience

At least ten years working with computer graphics rendering techniques including geometric rendering, lighting and illumination, texture mapping, and compute shading

At least eight years of C programming experience using classes, templates, and polymorphism

Ability to implement, debug, and optimize complex algorithms, shaders, and rendering sequences
