The opportunity
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 developers collaborating in the data platform problem and solution space.

In this role, you will be called upon to translate complex and sometimes ambiguous requirements into robust software development solutions.

You will inform us of what needs to be designed and achieved, not the other way around.

You will contribute to the effective use of data, a central pillar for the entire company. You will be part of a team that sits exactly in this space and delivers high-quality solutions to solve real business challenges and customer issues spread across thousands of Unity titles.

• Collaborate with stakeholders, define the problem space, propose technical solutions, and take full ownership through to production; you will not simply receive JIRA tickets
• Identify reliability issues and opportunities for improvement
• Propose and deliver architectural improvements
• Influence the roadmap to foster technical excellence in software and data engineering

• Relocation support is not available for this position
• A work visa or immigration sponsorship is not available for this position
