Software Engineer, 2D

The opportunity
Unity's 2D toolset powers millions of games, from pixel-art platformers to the highest-grossing titles on mobile. The 2D team owns the sprite pipeline, 2D Tilemap, 2D SpriteShape, 2D animation, 2D Graphics, 2D Physics and UGUI that creators reach for every day, and we're growing the team in our Singapore office.
As a Software Engineer on this team, you'll work on 2D features and on the AI automation that enables them, building the structured interfaces that let an agent operate our 2D tools the way a creator would. You'll be part of the 2D team in Singapore and will collaborate with colleagues there and with engineering teams across Unity.
You'll have a mentor, regular code review, and plenty of room to ask questions. Our primary development languages are C# and C++, with Python for tooling. If you're eager to work on a codebase that millions of people rely on while helping shape how AI fits into it, this is a great opportunity for you!
What you'll be doing
Writing clear, maintainable C# to build and maintain 2D features in the Unity Editor and runtime
Building the agent-facing layer for 2D tooling, including structured APIs and tool definitions that let an LLM operate features such as tilemaps, sprite editing, and 2D animation
Extending that automation into test coverage for the 2D features we already ship, catching regressions before they reach creators
Investigating and fixing bugs reported by our community
Reviewing how well our agents perform against real creator workflows and feeding what you find back into the tooling
Collaborating with your colleagues to ensure team success
What we're looking for
Programming experience in C# or another object-oriented language
Curiosity about LLMs and what they can and can't do, from any kind of hands-on use
A willingness to learn C++ and pick up new areas of the codebase
Enjoyment of problem-solving and comfort sitting with a bug until you understand it
Clear written communication and a habit of asking questions early
You might also have
Experience using Unity, whether at work, at school, or in your own projects
Familiarity with prompting, tool calling, or agent frameworks
Some Python or scripting experience
