The opportunity

A key attribute of the Unity Engine is the ease with which developers can build content for a variety of target platforms. Most experiences also include media—audio and/or video. Ensuring a seamless integration on each target platform is the mission of the Media team, a small but growing team with a large problem space. While we maintain what has taken years to build, we have also embarked on a renewal of our tech stack to enable extensibility and offer our users the benefit of a cohesive and open framework. Join us on this journey!

  • Help maintain a complex tech stack across Unity-supported platforms

  • Help design and build hardware abstraction layers and cross-platform APIs

  • Help refactor existing code to integrate third-party frameworks

  • Interact with Unity customers and collaborate with internal media authoring teams

What we're looking for

  • A passion for media—video as well as audio

  • Proficiency in C# and C++ and their interop

  • Experience with media file formats, codecs, and streaming protocols

  • Experience working with closed-source platform-specific media framework SDKs (any of Apple, Microsoft, Android, Sony, etc.)

  • A team player with excellent communication skills

You might also have

  • Experience working with Unity or a comparable game engine

  • Experience working with an open-source media framework such as GStreamer

  • Experience with colorspace management, digital image processing, digital audio signal processing, and systems-level programming
