The opportunity

We are the Accelerate Solutions Games team! A group of highly skilled Software Development and Technical Art Consultants with deep expertise in the Unity platform, whose main goal is to help our customers improve their projects and internal workflows and assist them in the resolution of very challenging technical problems. In order to do this, we provide a series of short-term and long-term consulting and development services which can range in duration from one week to eighteen months and beyond.

We’re looking for developers who want to share their expertise with our customers and help them achieve their performance targets. Our customer base spans a wide range of exciting fields, such as video games, entertainment, manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and architecture!

The team has two tracks: Consulting and Professional Services. The first track involves visiting our customers and, by collaborating directly with their technical leaders, help them optimize their projects and workflows and educate them on best practices. The second track requires designing and implementing software systems either in or surrounding the Unity Editor and the Unity Engine. Our team is asked to resolve exciting problems which require a level of expertise in the Unity platform that only Unity can help with.

In the longer term, you’ll become an established technical specialist within Unity. You can pursue opportunities including personal research, speaking at conferences, delivering training to customers and colleagues, and guiding Unity’s direction by providing feedback and advice to our R&D teams.

This role may involve periodic travel to customer and other Unity offices, primarily within Europe. Travel is usually conducted during weekdays and won’t exceed 30% of the time.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Work with customers on a regular basis for short-term consultations and give them advice on how to resolve their performance issues and improve their existing workflows, including on-site and remote visits.
• Build close relationships with Unity’s internal development teams and provide customer feedback and use cases to them
• Efficiently solve problems, communicate, and educate our clients, both remotely and on-site at their offices
• Help the Engineering Manager to scope projects for customers across a wide range of verticals, such as games, media and entertainment, manufacturing, automotive, aerospace and architecture
• Become embedded with external customer teams to develop interactive applications and tools

What We’re Looking For

• Capable of developing and debugging code written in a large multithreaded C# or C++ codebase, using a multi-platform engine (e.g. Unity, Unreal, in-house)
• Knowledgeable on how to profile, analyze, and improve performance, from low-level limitations to high-level architectural decisions
• Experience in shipping multiple games or other real-time interactive applications, including a solid understanding of software development lifecycles
• Fluent in written and spoken English, and able to guide customers by clearly communicating ideas and technical knowledge via written reports
• Comfortable when it comes to diving into areas outside of their expertise in order to help our customers

You might also have

• Experience in delivering training/technical talks and writing technical articles/documentation
• Deep graphics programming knowledge and experience writing shaders
