Unity Technologies SF•Bellevue, NY

About The Position

Unity LevelPlay is a leading mediation platform for game developers, sitting at the heart of Unity's Grow business. LevelPlay helps thousands of mobile game developers maximize ad revenue across the world's largest ad networks, combining real-time bidding, advanced revenue optimization, and deep analytics to power monetization for many of the top-grossing mobile games globally. We're looking for a Principal Product Manager to help shape the future of the platform. This is a senior individual contributor role with outsized scope: you'll drive strategic bets that span the mediation stack, from auction dynamics and bidding infrastructure to publisher-facing tooling and cross-platform integrations, and influence how Unity's mediation ecosystem evolves over the next several years. You'll operate as a thought partner to product and engineering leadership, and your decisions will directly impact revenue for developers around the world and for Unity itself.

Strong analytical rigor, including comfort with experimentation, marketplace metrics (ARPDAU, eCPM, fill rate), and making revenue-impacting decisions under uncertainty

Exceptional stakeholder leadership: able to align executives, engineers, and external partners, and guide teams through ambiguity to impactful outcomes
A track record of driving decisions independently and with conviction, grounded in your own analysis
Experience in mobile gaming or with mobile developer ecosystems
