Unity Jobs in California (NOW HIRING)

The opportunity
At Unity, we're shaping the future of real-time 3D creation by making game development more accessible than ever. Our next-generation human-in-the-loop agentic AI-goal-directed, adaptive, and capable of reasoning and planning in dynamic environments-is redefining how creators bring their ideas to life.

Unity AI is built to democratize game development in the same way modern tools transformed video creation: if you have an idea, you can make a game-no steep learning curve, no bottlenecks-guided by an agent that plans, executes, and iterates with you. For professionals, we aim to deliver a step-change in efficiency with 10x productivity gains, faster iteration cycles, and richer creative exploration that unlocks entirely new forms of gameplay. As this vision scales, we expect a 10x-100x increase in high-quality games-and with it, a new era of digital entertainment where diverse voices, novel mechanics, and rapid experimentation redefine what's possible.

We're looking for a Staff Product Designer for the Unity AI team. You'll play a meaningful role as the design lead across our full AI product portfolio, working side-by-side with engineers and product managers to design the next generation of AI products for the gaming industry. This is an opportunity to work in a fast-paced, startup-like environment where new products ship every other week. If you're a forward thinker who thrives in ambiguity, builds prototypes with code, and is passionate about games-this is your moment.

What you'll be doing

• Own the design vision across Unity's AI product portfolio, identifying opportunities and proposing new initiatives that push our products forward
• Build functional prototypes using code to rapidly validate ideas-going beyond wireframes to ship working concepts alongside engineers
• Collaborate closely with product managers and engineering to shape roadmaps, flush out product ideas in detail, and represent design in planning meetings and design reviews
• Lead multi-functional collaboration across teams (engine, editor, marketing, executives) to drive design consistency and elevate the overall user experience
• Communicate vision through concept models, flows, and artifacts while being vocal about how our products should look, feel, and evolve

What we're looking for

• Strong track record in Product Design, including 5+ years of experience
• Demonstrated experience designing AI-native products (e.g., at companies building agentic AI, vibe coding tools, or similar)
• Ability to build functional prototypes with code, not solely visual mockups in design tools
• Experience operating in fast-paced, startup-like environments
• Strong ownership mindset with effective written/verbal communication and ability to work effectively in multi-functional teams
• Portfolio demonstrating end-to-end product thinking from concept through implementation

You might also have

• Passion for games and an understanding of the game creation process

Additional information

• International relocation support is not available for this position
