• Fix bugs, support client QA through alpha, regression and release, and prepare documentation.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience as a Unity game developer.
• Worked on at least one shipped game title.
• Availability for daily working-hours overlap with Helsinki (EET/EEST).
• A passion for video games.
• Strong skills in Unity and C#. Unity 6 and URP are a plus.
• Able to take a well-defined feature through to delivery, asking questions early when information is missing.
• Familiar with performance bottlenecks and ways to resolve them.
• Strong debugging skills.
• Basic understanding of multiplayer concepts and client-server communication.
• Willingness to learn FMOD, the client's SDKs and the existing tooling.
• Good communication skills in English, and good reporting and documentation skills.
• Flexibility and ability to adapt to changing priorities.

DESIRABLE PLUSES:

• Experience with multiplayer, party or casual games.
• Experience with FMOD or other audio middleware.
• Experience building game tools or adding analytics and telemetry.
• Familiarity with TypeScript or React.
• Solid technical foundation (e.g. Computer Science / Maths Degree or equivalent).
