About The Position

At Unity, we believe the world is a better place with more creators in it. We build tools that empower artists, developers, and studios to bring their visions to life — across games, film, VFX, animation, and immersive experiences. We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to lead the teams behind SyncSketch and SpeedTree, two products that play an important role in creative production workflows. SyncSketch helps teams collaborate and review creative work at scale, while SpeedTree is an industry-leading solution for vegetation modeling used across film, VFX, and interactive content. In this role, you’ll lead a team of talented engineers, strengthen execution through agile ways of working, and partner closely with Product, Sales, Solutions Architects, and customers to shape the roadmap. You’ll also be a coach and mentor, helping your team grow their skills, expand their impact, and build meaningful careers at Unity. This is a great opportunity for a leader who is energized by building high-performing teams, improving engineering effectiveness, and creating products that matter deeply to creative professionals.
