C Sharp (Programming Language) Profiling Software Debugging Performance Tuning HLSL

Job description

This role will work alongside our existing team on one of our current console titles,

helping us continue to improve the port and bring it up to the standard we expect. You’ll

also help us establish the internal workflows and technical foundation needed to

approach console development earlier and more directly on future titles, reducing our

reliance on external partners.

This is a highly hands-on technical role. You’ll be expected to dig into unfamiliar

problems, identify the real cause of performance issues, implement practical solutions,

and help establish the systems and best practices we use for console development

going forward.

This is a 100% remote, full-time position.

Responsibilities

  • Profile and optimize Unity projects across CPU, GPU, rendering, memory,

loading, and physics.

  • Investigate performance bottlenecks, identify root causes, and propose practical

solutions.

  • Work with URP, SRP Batcher, GPU Instancing, batching, shaders, lighting,

post-processing, LODs, and other rendering optimization techniques.

  • Analyze and reduce memory usage, including textures, meshes, allocations,

asset lifetime, and loading/unloading behavior.

  • Investigate frame spikes, stutters, GC pressure, expensive physics, and other

runtime performance issues.

  • Help prepare and optimize the project for console releases.

  • Contribute to optimization guidelines, performance budgets, and best practices

for future projects.

Requirements

  • Senior-level professional experience with Unity.

  • Strong hands-on experience profiling and optimizing Unity games.

  • Strong C# knowledge

  • At least one shipped Unity game, with direct involvement in performance

optimization.

  • Strong understanding of CPU, GPU, rendering, and memory performance in

Unity.

  • Experience with Unity Profiler, Frame Debugger, Memory Profiler, and similar

profiling/debugging tools.

  • Ability to independently investigate unfamiliar performance issues and find their

root cause.

  • Strong practical problem-solving skills and willingness to dig deep into technical

issues.

  • (Bonus) Experience personally handling or leading a Unity console port

  • (Bonus) Experience profiling and optimizing directly on target console hardware

  • (Bonus) Experience implementing gameplay systems and features in Unity
