Software Engineer - Unity Services Foundation

The opportunity

We are looking for a Software Developer to join our team in Helsinki. You will focus on facilitating Web API development and improving our core API Gateways, which process a billion daily calls. Our Gateway platform provides foundational features to handle authentication, authorization, rate limiting and many other features to develop, publish and operate APIs at scale. Our goal is to make it simple for service teams to expose endpoints through our Gateways and use core API features using our platform directly — while ensuring high API standards and consistency across all Unity services.

As a member of our team, you will develop impactful features that address API management challenges and contribute to our platform strategy, making a significant impact at Unity. We prioritize maintainability, resiliency, performance, security, and robust code, with a strong focus on developer experience. You'll work alongside senior backend developers, as well as the product team. Our team works mostly on backend and infrastructure related matters, but our platform is the foundation for how our Unity’s customers interact with our products.
