Hiring playbook
How to hire Unity developers
Unity engineers should blend engine fluency with performance, tooling, and collaboration across art and design.
Define platforms and budgets
- List target devices, frame rate goals, and asset budgets to guide interviews.
- Ask for examples of meeting those targets under tight timelines.
Probe engine and optimization depth
- Discuss profiling, memory management, and rendering optimizations in past projects.
- Look for hands-on experience with addressables, build pipelines, and platform-specific tweaks.
Validate testing and release habits
- Review device coverage, automation, crash/perf monitoring, and rollback playbooks.
- Great candidates have reduced production issues with telemetry and disciplined builds.
Check collaboration with art/design
- Assess how they implement shaders, VFX, and UI with design/UX partners.
- Listen for clear communication and scope control during polish phases.
Onboard with guardrails
- Share performance targets, asset budgets, and build/release rituals on day one.
- Align on telemetry and QA expectations early to avoid surprises.
