- Constructing games within Unity, including the use of Unity UI, in accordance with our in-house technical workflow.
- Writing custom components in C# when control over complex visual elements is required.
- Optimizing the games so that they run smoothly and efficiently on the widest possible range of mobile devices.

You’ll be responsible for maintaining a high degree of polish and quality across all our games, ensuring that they look and feel fantastic
