About the Position

Senior Procedural & Tools Engineer - Unity / Europe

We are seeking a Senior Procedural & Tools Engineer - Unity to join our team in Europe, focusing on content creation, automation, and artist-facing tools. This role is focused on helping art and production teams create more high-quality content faster, without reducing creative control. The goal is to build reliable systems that improve how assets, variations, environments, textures, and other game content are generated, processed, validated, and integrated into Unity.

Responsibilities

• Design and build procedural content systems in Unity for assets, variations, environments, textures, animations, and production workflows
• Build Unity editor tools and automation that reduce repetitive setup, validation, export, and integration work
• Integrate Houdini Engine and HDAs into the pipeline where useful, and build tools around parametric content workflows
• Explore AI-assisted tools or local LLM workflows where they provide practical value, such as naming, tagging, validation, metadata, scaffolding, or controlled content variation
• Partner with a Senior Technical Artist on R&D direction and turn prototypes or workflow findings into stable tools
• Diagnose pipeline performance, reliability, and usability issues
• Own the quality of the tools layer, including maintainability, documentation, and production stability

Requirements

• Senior-level Unity engineering experience with strong C# and Unity editor scripting depth
• Demonstrated experience with procedural content generation, such as Houdini, custom generators, generative shaders, parametric meshes, animation helpers, level generation, or asset variation systems
• Strong understanding of Unity asset workflows, import pipelines, prefabs, ScriptableObjects, serialization, build processes, and editor performance
• Solid Python, shell scripting, version control, and CI instincts
• Practical knowledge of, or active curiosity about, local LLMs and AI-assisted production tools
• Experience profiling and debugging Unity at editor and runtime level
• Ability to work closely with artists and technical artists, understand production pain points, and translate them into practical tools
• Clear written English and comfort working in a remote, async-friendly environment

Nice to Have

• Houdini Engine / HDA integration used in production
• Generative texture or material workflows, such as Substance Designer API, Shader Graph automation, or custom procedural materials
• Experience with large-scale, stylized, content-heavy, or systemic game productions
• Build pipeline and CI experience, such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Unity Cloud Build, or similar
• Graphics programming, rendering, or game engine internals background
• Console or performance-constrained platform experience
• Experience with local LLM tooling such as Ollama, llama.cpp, vLLM, or similar

We Offer

• A long-term role on a technically ambitious Unity production
• Direct ownership of the procedural, automation, and tools layer of the pipeline
• Close collaboration with a Senior Technical Artist focused on pipeline R&D
• Fully remote B2B cooperation
• Real influence on how content is generated, processed, validated, and integrated
• A production-focused environment where tools support artists, not replace them
• Annual team retreat focused on alignment, learning, and team bonding
