Experience: 5+ Years

Location: Hyderabad

Role Type: Full-time / Lead

Overview

We are seeking a high-caliber Lead Unity Developer to drive the development of complex, large-scale production projects. This role requires a unique blend of technical mastery in Multiplayer (Photon Fusion) and AI Architecture. The ideal candidate is a problem-solver who can navigate legacy codebases with ease, mentor a team of developers, and implement scalable, high-performance systems for commercial games.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Leadership: Lead and mentor a team of Unity developers, taking full ownership of technical delivery and code quality.
Multiplayer Architecture: Develop and optimize core multiplayer features using Photon Fusion 2.x, ensuring seamless client-server synchronization and robust networking logic.
AI Systems Design: Architect and implement scalable AI behaviors, including FSMs, Behavior Trees, and Utility-based systems for complex NPC/Enemy interactions.
Codebase Management: Quickly adapt to and extend existing/legacy codebases, identify technical debt and implement stable, long-term solutions.
Performance Optimization: Use the Unity Profiler and debugging tools to identify and resolve performance bottlenecks in gameplay, UI, and networking.

Technical Requirements

5+ years of professional experience with Unity Engine and advanced C#.
Expertise in Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), Design Patterns, and Event-driven architecture.
Deep understanding of ScriptableObjects, Prefabs, Coroutines, and Asynchronous workflows.
Hands-on experience with Photon Fusion 2.x.
Deep knowledge of RPCs, prediction, interpolation, lag compensation, matchmaking, and lobby systems.
Experience with backend APIs and cloud services (AWS, PlayFab, or Azure).
Implementation of Finite State Machines, Behavior Trees, and Navigation/Pathfinding (NavMesh).
Experience with aggro/threat systems, boss phase management, squad coordination, and enemy perception.
Experience creating custom automation tools to improve team efficiency.
Ability to trace complex issues across interconnected systems rather than applying temporary fixes.
Writing clean, maintainable fixes with minimal side effects on existing dependencies.
Experience debugging and shipping across Mobile, PC, or Cross-platform environments.

Preferred Skills

Experience with Git version control and CI/CD pipelines.
Strong understanding of Mobile Optimization (memory management, draw calls, etc.).
Basic knowledge of Shader Graph or HLSL.
Proven ability to work under production constraints and meet commercial shipping deadlines.
Adaptability to contribute quickly to unfamiliar projects.
Strong architectural thinking with a focus on scalability and reusability.
Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly and guide a team effectively.
Ability to balance code quality with production deadlines.
