Senior Software Engineer

Senior Software Engineer

We are looking for a senior software developer to lead the design and implementation of our business-critical data platform.

This is a role requiring high autonomy within a team of senior software and data engineers, collaborating on the data platform problem and solution space.

In this role, you will be translating complex, ambiguous requirements into resilient software engineering solutions.

You will be telling us what needs to be built, not the other way around.

Effective use of data is a core focus for the broader company, and this team sits precisely in that space and delivers high-quality solutions that solve real business problems and customer problems across thousands of Unity titles.

What you'll be doing:

• Collaborating with stakeholders, defining the problem space, pitching technical solutions and owning them through to production; you will not just be handed JIRA tickets
• Identifying reliability concerns and opportunities for improvement
• Pitching and delivering architectural improvements
• Influencing the roadmap towards technical excellence in software and data engineering

What we're looking for:

• Strong software engineering fundamentals, and experience applying them within data engineering
• Expertise working with data streaming technologies such as Kafka and Flink
• Autonomous and effective in a team setting
• Experience working with non-technical stakeholders and translating their needs to technical requirements for team-wide delivery

Additional information:

• Relocation support is not available for this position
• Work visa/immigration sponsorship is not available for this position

Salary: 55,700.00 - 69,600.00 GBP per year

This range reflects the anticipated base salary for this position. Beyond base salary, this role may be eligible for equity awards and participation in our company incentive plans (such as annual discretionary bonuses or sales commissions). The final offer amount will depend on several factors, including geographic location and the candidate's relevant experience, professional background, and skill set.

At Unity, we want our team members to thrive. We offer a wide range of benefits designed to support well-being and work-life balance.

While specific benefits vary, here are some of the ways we strive to take care of our eligible team members globally: Comprehensive health, life, and disability insurance | Commute subsidy | Employee stock ownership | Competitive retirement/pension plans | Generous vacation and personal days | Support for new parents through leave and family-care programs | Office food snacks | Mental Health and Wellbeing programs and support | Employee Resource Groups | Global Employee Assistance Program | Training and development programs | Volunteering and donation matching program
