# Senior Software Engineer, Backend

The opportunity Unity Spark is our browser-based game editor, with an ambitious vision for how real-time 3D games are created, shared, and played on the web.

We value generalists who pick up whatever the product needs next, whether that is a new service, a deploy pipeline, or a bug on the other side of the stack. You will work closely with engineers, designers, and product managers from day one, and own meaningful parts of the backend from first idea to production. What you'll be doing Design, build, and operate the services and APIs behind real-time collaborative editing, game publishing, and content delivery, built to perform at scale Own features end to end, from a loosely defined problem to a design, shipped code, and a service running in production Weigh multiple approaches, make sensi
