- Handle pathfinding for hundreds of units, skirmish AI, and performance
- Integrate art, UI, and audio, and ship to Steam
What you bring
- 5+ years of Unity/C# and at least one shipped game
- Real experience with online multiplayer and determinism
- Strong pathfinding and optimization skills
- You work independently, estimate honestly, and use AI coding tools well
- Bonus: C++, RTS experience, Photon Quantum, DOTS/ECS, Steamworks
What you get
