Unity Developers

Employers typically require developers to have at least one to two years of experience in lower-level Unity-focused positions, although some firms hire recent college graduates who have completed Unity-related coursework and/or internships. 

Unity developers need both strong technical and soft skills to be successful in their careers. In terms of technical skills, they need a strong knowledge of algorithms and data structures,a mastery of the Unity framework and game development pipeline, C# and/or C++ programming experience within the Unity environment, skill at user experience design and programming, and skill at using other programming languages in their specific field (e.g., gaming, virtual reality, augmented reality).   

Key soft skills for developers include strong attention to detail; the ability to multitask, prioritize, and manage multiple projects at once; top-notch written and verbal communications skills and the ability to present design concepts to engineers, programmers, other developers, management, and customers; good troubleshooting skills; the ability to work both independently and/or cooperatively within a team; and a passion for playing and making games, alternative reality content, or other Unity-powered products.
