Unity Developer

We’re looking for a Unity Developer to join our simulation team at Excel Driver Services. You’ll contribute to a commercial vehicle training simulation platform running on multi-display simulators and integrated with our learning management system. The majority of this role is focused on backend and application systems: data, networking, and services. You’ll also contribute across the application in areas such as UI, tooling, and scenario development. This is a hands-on, in-person role where you’ll collaborate daily with a tight-knit dev team shipping training technology to real customers.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Build and maintain backend and application systems in Unity, including session management, scenario logic, data persistence, and networked features

• Support multiplayer and instance synchronization across simulators

• Consume and contribute to APIs connecting the simulation to our web platform and cloud services

• Contribute across the Unity application as needed, including UI, editor tooling, scenario scripting, and bug fixing

• Write clean, maintainable C# that conforms to the existing architecture

• Collaborate with the rendering and physics developers to integrate their systems into the application

• Participate in team meetings, sprint planning, and code reviews

• Contribute to documentation and help establish engineering standards for the platform

REQUIRED SKILLS & TECHNOLOGIES

• C# programming, with a solid grasp of OOP, collections, and async/await

• Unity fundamentals: MonoBehaviours, ScriptableObjects, scene management, and the Unity lifecycle

• Experience building at least one complete project in Unity (personal, academic, or professional)

• Basic understanding of REST APIs and JSON

• Version control experience (Git or Plastic SCM) and the ability to adopt our branching and review workflow

• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills

• Ability to communicate technical decisions clearly to the rest of the team

PREFERRED SKILLS

• .NET experience, such as ASP.NET Core, Web API, or Entity Framework

• Basic SQL and data modeling

• Exposure to multiplayer or networking in Unity (Netcode, Mirror, Photon, or similar)

• Familiarity with unit testing (NUnit, Unity Test Framework)

• Familiarity with cloud platforms, especially AWS

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

• Someone with strong technical fundamentals and the discipline to build on them

• Able to move between backend logic, UI, and tooling work as project needs change

• Reads existing code and architecture before writing new systems

• Can articulate why a system works, not just that it does

• Reliable and accountable, with consistent effort and attitude in the workplace

• Works well both independently and within a team

NICE TO HAVE

• Background in simulation, learning management systems, or industrial software

• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and multi-platform builds

• Experience with WebGL builds or browser-to-backend communication

• A portfolio, GitHub profile, or shipped projects demonstrating your work

• An interest in the application of emerging AI technology

This is a full-time, in-person position. You’ll be on-site with the team, working on real projects, and expected to take ownership of your work.
