Lead Unity Developer

We're partnering with a fast-rising mobile game studio: 12 exceptional creators building out of Barcelona, Spain. They already have top-tier talent and strong funding backing their vision. Now we need the tech leader who turns bold creativity into rock-solid Unity experiences. Build smart. Optimize hard. Lead the next wave., * Architect and deliver core gameplay frameworks, internal tools, and runtime systems with an emphasis on scalability and long-term maintainability

• Define and enforce engineering standards, coding practices, and technical planning for Unity-based mobile projects
• Partner with art, design, and tech-art teams to transform prototypes and visual targets into optimized, shippable game features
• Drive mobile performance strategies, including memory budgeting, profiling, batching systems, render optimization (URP), and build stability
• Champion pipeline improvements that empower teams through editor tooling, automated workflows, and build process ownership (CI/CD, automation, or equivalent)
• Lead problem-solving for complex technical challenges and production risks before they impact release goals
• Mentor, onboard, and influence the growth of engineers, as well as support hiring as the team expands.

• 7+ years of Unity development experience with released mobile titles
• Advanced C# expertise, gameplay logic design, and performance optimization
• Experience owning architecture for full game cycles, including iteration, polish, live testing, and post-launch stability
• Solid understanding of mobile-forward rendering workflows in URP, performance impacts, and artistic integration constraints.
• Strong systems thinking and communication skills, able to guide engineers, align stakeholders, and support creative problem-solving
• A passion for player experience, polish, and building games that feel incredible to play.

Bonus Skills That Stand Out:

• Shipped experience with multiplayer, arcade, or highly dynamic gameplay loops (roguelite, action, or tool-driven game modes)
• Knowledge in shaders, VFX Graph, VFX workflows, stylized pipelines, animation systems, or procedural/AI-enhanced content tooling
• Some track record of mentoring or guiding developers
• Tools, Tech & Culture: they build with Unity (URP), C#, GitHub, Git, and 3D packages like Blender/Maya/Maya equivalents, supported by custom stylization tools and internal pipelines. More than the tool stack, what matters is a mindset that values ownership, collaboration, craft, and creative execution.
