The opportunity
At Unity, we're building a world-class advertising platform that operates at a massive global scale. The Ads team powers the systems that connect advertisers with creators and players, driving performance, reliability, and growth across our ecosystem.

As a Staff Software Engineer on the Feature Platform team, you'll play a critical role in building the infrastructure that powers machine learning, experimentation, and optimization across our ads ecosystem. You'll design and operate the systems that transform high-volume event data into production-grade feature datasets used for bidding, attribution, and ranking — working at the intersection of distributed systems, platform engineering, and ML infrastructure.

This role goes beyond data processing. You'll own the full software lifecycle of pipeline systems — from architecture and implementation through to reliability, observability, and performance at scale — collaborating closely with ML, backend, and product teams to build durable, high-quality infrastructure that supports both offline training workflows and online feature serving.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys owning complex systems end-to-end, thinking deeply about correctness and scalability, and building software that other engineering teams depend on.

What you'll be doing

• What You'll Be Doing
• Design, build, and operate scalable, production-grade data pipeline systems and curated feature datasets powering ads optimization and ML
• Own end-to-end offline data flows from raw event ingestion to feature-ready datasets, with strong emphasis on correctness, reproducibility, and SLA compliance
• Develop and maintain large-scale batch and streaming systems (Python / Java / SQL) with a strong focus on performance, cost-efficiency, and reliability
• Build and contribute to our Feature Store platform, including integration with the high-throughput online serving layer (Go-based services)
• Translate complex product and monetization logic into well-engineered, extensible systems serving analytics and machine learning use cases
• Drive improvements in observability, testing frameworks, and quality standards across the platform
• Lead architectural decisions and engineering best practices within the Feature Platform team

What we're looking for

• Strong software engineering fundamentals with deep experience designing and operating large-scale distributed systems in production
• Hands-on experience building production-grade ETL/ELT pipelines using Python, Java, SQL, or similar technologies
• Experience with distributed processing frameworks such as Spark or Flink in both batch and streaming modes, including performance tuning and parallel computation
• Understanding of how offline data systems integrate with online serving layers — feature stores, low-latency APIs, and real-time systems
• Experience with cloud-native environments, containerized systems, Kubernetes, and workflow orchestration tools
• Strong ownership mindset — focused on correctness, observability, and long-term maintainability
• Experience with Go is a plus, particularly for collaboration on high-throughput feature serving services

You might also have

• Experience with ML infrastructure, feature stores, or model training pipelines
• Background in ads, attribution, or monetization systems
• Familiarity with experimentation and metrics infrastructure
• Exposure to high-scale backend or platform engineering

Additional information

• Relocation support is not available for this position

• Event time vs. processing time handling
• Stateful stream management
• Backpressure and fault tolerance strategies
• Collaborate cross-functionally with data consumers, product, and infrastructure teams to define scalable reporting solutions.
• Contribute to long-term platform architecture, setting engineering standards for performance, resilience, and maintainability.

What we're looking for

• Hands-on experience building and operating large-scale data processing systems.
• Deep understanding of streaming concepts:
• Exactly-once semantics
• Watermarking and event-time processing
• Stateful stream processing
• Checkpointing and recovery
• Backpressure handling
• Production experience with frameworks such as Apache Flink, Spark, Kafka, or similar technologies.
• Proficiency in Python, Java, or Scala.

You'll operate at the intersection of distributed systems, stream processing, and cloud-native infrastructure — ensuring correctness, reliability, and scalability in a high-volume production environment.

This is a high-impact role where engineering rigor, architectural clarity, and production ownership matter.

What you'll be doing

• Own the end-to-end attribution pipeline. You will be a core engineer on the team responsible for getting attribution data right — from the moment a user interacts with an ad to the signal landing accurately in our data warehouse and in the hands of our ML and Reporting teams. This means owning a portfolio of high-throughput, latency-sensitive services and streaming pipelines that operate at the center of Unity's mobile advertising infrastructure.
• Build and operate real-time ad event processing. You will design, build, and operate the online services that receive ad interaction events from mobile SDKs and other partners, process terabytes of data at scale — including enrichments, transformations, and privacy operations — and deliver signals to external and internal partners in real time.
• Lead our architectural modernization. A significant part of your work will be an active migration, replacing a legacy event-handling layer with a modern gRPC-based service. This is greenfield development within a production system, requiring careful design with backfill and failover behavior while preserving data accuracy throughout the cutover.
• Improve low-latency data services. You will improve the caching layer that serves data on every ad request within strict latency budgets, and own the persistence layer that links auction, fill, placement, and gamer identities together across the ad lifecycle.
• Build and maintain critical ad serving infrastructure. You will build and own multiple services that support ad serving — including negative targeting and block listing — across the team's service portfolio. Responsibilities include logging, tracing, and authentication; a Kafka-backed caching framework; health check and readiness probe infrastructure; and Docker-based integrations.
• Drive data health monitoring and quality. You will own real-time monitoring of data health, detecting anomalies, event delivery rates, and data quality signals as they happen. You will also build and maintain the batch data pipeline jobs that produce daily datasets in BigQuery.
• Collaborate across ML, Reporting, and external partners. You will be the team that ML modeling, Reporting, and external partners rely on for timely and accurate signal reporting. When something goes wrong, you will lead the investigation and recovery.

What we're looking for

• Strong foundation in distributed systems and systems design
• Hands-on experience building and operating large-scale data processing systems
• Deep understanding of streaming concepts: exactly-once semantics, watermarking and event-time processing, stateful stream processing, checkpointing and recovery, and backpressure handling
• Production experience with frameworks such as Apache Flink, Spark, Kafka, or similar technologies
• Proficiency in Python, Java, or Scala 
• Experience with workflow orchestration tools such as Airflow for stream and batch coordination 
• Strong understanding of cloud-native architectures and distributed infrastructure including Kubernetes, containerization, and cloud platforms

You might also have

• Experience migrating legacy systems to modern architectures in production environments
