A successful candidate will be able to guide the team through Unity's core technologies, build underlying client systems to support higher level gameplay and rendering systems, and help release and maintain our client builds for multiple target platforms.

As a part of Netflix, we strive to hire the best and value integrity, excellence, respect, inclusion, and collaboration.

Now is an amazing time to join Netflix Game Studio as we seek to entertain our 200 million paid members in a really new way.
