Software and Sustained Engineering Internship Brighton 2022

The Sustained Engineering team collaborates with R&D to maintain and improve the quality of all released versions of Unity, across all areas of the Unity Editor and Engine. We solve hard problems in a supportive environment and embody the Unity values of Best Ideas Win, Go Bold, In It Together and Users First.

The Different Opportunities

Performance

Learn and work with us as we design and implement solutions to reliably test, analyse and report the system level performance of Unity using representative real world projects.

Make an important contribution by identifying performance regressions, that if left uncorrected could make the Unity Editor or Engine slower for our creators and gamers.

Code Quality

Learn how to use industry respected commercial tools and technology to improve the quality of our code.

You will gain exposure to the entire Unity codebase, and learn how software development works on a project of enormous scale — and perhaps more importantly, how it occasionally doesn’t!

Discover more about the full range of technologies underpinning modern game development, and learn about different subject areas while making Unity better for everyone.

Tools

Explore the extent of the core infrastructure and tools required to produce and release a vast product, while learning and practicing the wide variety of technologies and soft skills involved in ensuring the Quality of our Unity releases.

Become an integral part of a growing team while using industry standard technology to support and collaborate with Release Management, Sustained Engineering and beyond.
