• Write and optimize code to create efficient and reusable systems and components.
• Focus on testability by implementing and assessing it in both the code you produce and the features you develop.
• Uphold coding standards and actively improve them by identifying better approaches and suggesting enhancements.
• Ensure your work is easy for other developers to understand, aiming for simple, effective solutions rather than complex ones.

• Creative problem-solving skills combined with an analytical mindset.
• Understanding of developing for mobile platforms like Android and iOS, including platform limitations, interaction methods, and the dynamic nature of technology.
  
  

In addition to these, it would be nice but not mandatory for you to have these as well:

• Deep knowledge of a fundamental Unity pipeline or tool, such as Asset management, UI, or Networking
• Familiarity with reactive programming e.g. UniRx
• Proven ability to identify and resolve memory-related issues to enhance game performance
  
  

What We Offer
