Job Summary

We are looking for a Unity Developer Intern who is excited by structure, systems, and scalable architecture. You enjoy organizing, documenting, and enforcing guidelines just as much as coding. You’ll help design backend architecture, task structures, and internal systems while supporting gameplay development. If you like planning as much as building, and gain satisfaction from clean codebases and clean workflows, you’ll feel right at home.

Responsibilities

• Design and improve internal systems, such as game architecture, data flow, and task structures.
• Create and maintain in-game features and backend systems using Unity and C#.
• Collaborate with leads to refine, organize, and distribute tasks across the team.
• Contribute to the creation of technical documentation and development guidelines.
• Improve internal databases and project structure in Notion and Unity.
• Help enforce workflow rules, development conventions, and communication protocols.
• Participate actively on Discord to help keep production on track.
• Assist with task estimations, roadmaps, and timeboxing across sprints.
• Help maintain a modular, scalable codebase that supports future content and features.

Ideal Candidate

• Loves structure, guidelines, and clarity and is not afraid to reinforce them.
• Thrives in remote environments where self-motivation and proactivity are key.
• Enjoys working with and improving databases, tools, and documentation.
• Can shift between gameplay programming and project organization fluidly.
• Finds satisfaction in refining task pipelines and making team workflows smoother.

Qualifications

• Experience with Unity development for 2D games.
• Proficiency in C# and Unity’s component-based architecture.
• Familiarity with version control (Git, Perforce, or Plastic SCM).
• Understanding of agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban).
• Experience with databases, data-driven architecture, or task planning tools.
• Comfortable working independently and enforcing project standards.
• (Nice to have) Experience with Zenject or other dependency injection tools.
• (Nice to have) Understanding of CI/CD pipelines or Unity’s Addressables system.

Tools You’ll Use

• Unity
• C#
• GitHub
• Notion
• Discord

What You Can Expect

• A well-documented GDD and clearly defined sprint goals.
• Mentorship and collaboration from technical leads.
• A role where you’ll help shape not just the code, but the production itself.
• Remote, flexible hours in a focused and highly motivated team.
• A credited role in a unique, stylized indie title on Steam.
• A chance to significantly grow your technical and organizational skill set.
