The opportunity
At Unity, we're shaping the future of real-time 3D technology by building AI to transform how games are created and experienced. From intelligent authoring tools to new ways of interacting with content, we're engineering the next generation of pipelines that make 3D game development faster, more immersive, and more efficient.
We're seeking a versatile, self-driven Staff Software Engineer to raise the bar on reliability, scalability, performance, and maintainability of our AI authoring products. You'll drive operational excellence via DevOps best practices, including CI/CD automation, Kubernetes management, infrastructure-as-code, agentic troubleshooting, and robust disaster recovery strategies.
You'll establish cross-team standards for infrastructure and deployments, build a trustworthy A/B testing framework, manage software releases with client-server compatibility in mind, and drive observability across system health and business metrics. The systems you build will span high-level architecture down to hands-on implementation, powering asset generation, LLM inference, and the ML-driven tools that bring AI-assisted game creation to life.
What you'll be doing
- Partner closely with product, design, and other engineering teams to influence the product roadmap.
- Contribute to technical strategy and architectural decisions for Unity AI and backend platforms, balancing short-term delivery with long-term product health.
- Design and implement sustainable, scalable solutions for Unity AI products, pushing the boundaries of the Unity Editor with cutting-edge AI agent technologies.
- Improve the reliability, performance, observability, security, and cost-efficiency of our backend systems, and support investigations into issues like performance regressions and network latency through strong observability and monitoring.
- Run technical spikes with developers to address application infrastructure needs on Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud.
- Build and mature the infrastructure and processes for promoting application code from development to production, writing high-quality, maintainable infrastructure-as-code and Helm deployments, and defining best practices for Terraform Cloud, Helm, and Kubernetes.
What we're looking for
- Experience building and shipping complex, user-facing software products at scale
- Experience delivering and supporting cloud backend services using Terraform, Kubernetes, Helm, and CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Argo, GitHub Actions)
- Hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud Platform
- Proven track record in observability, including monitoring, logging, alerting, and debugging tools such as Grafana to ensure system reliability and performance
- Strong grasp of software delivery best practices and network security, paired with a quality-first mindset
- Ability to translate business and user needs into technical solutions
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with a proven ability to align stakeholders across disciplines and organizations
You might also have
- Exposure to ML infrastructure or LLM inference deployment
- Backend service development experience, including API design
- Familiarity with networking, caching, real-time data pipelines, and relational databases such as PostgreSQL
- Familiarity with languages such as C#/.NET, Python, or Go
- Familiarity with Unity or similar 3D engines

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Staff Software Engineer
Verify your degree meets specialty occupation
The H-1B1 visa requires your degree to directly relate to the Staff Software Engineer role. A computer science or software engineering degree is clean. If yours is in a different field, document how your coursework maps to software development before applying.
Target employers with active LCA filing history
Use the OFLC Wage Search to look up which companies have certified Labor Condition Applications for software engineer roles. Employers already familiar with LCA filings are far less likely to stall on H-1B1 visa sponsorship paperwork during offer negotiations.
Search H-1B1 Singapore jobs on Migrate Mate
Migrate Mate filters jobs by employers with verified H-1B1 Singapore sponsorship history, so you're not cold-applying to companies that have never filed. Search specifically for Staff Software Engineer roles to see which employers are actively hiring at that level.
Clarify sponsorship intent before technical rounds
Ask your recruiter whether the company has filed H-1B1 Singapore petitions before, not just H-1B visa. Some employers assume all specialty occupation sponsorship goes through the H-1B lottery and may not know the H-1B visa1 is a separate, lottery-free consular process.
Get your LCA certified before scheduling your interview
DOL must certify your Labor Condition Application before you can apply at the consulate. Push your employer to submit the LCA as soon as your offer is signed. DOL typically certifies within seven business days, but delays will push back your interview date.
Pull your O*NET occupation profile for the interview
Consular officers assess whether your role qualifies as a specialty occupation. Bring your O*NET profile for software developers or software engineers showing the bachelor's degree requirement. It gives the officer a clear, DOL-recognized reference for your job classification.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Staff Software Engineer role qualify for the H-1B1 Singapore visa?
Yes. Staff Software Engineer is a specialty occupation requiring at least a bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, or a closely related technical field. The role's complexity and degree requirement satisfy both the H-1B1 visa's specialty occupation definition and the Labor Condition Application criteria your employer files with DOL before your consulate interview.
How does the H-1B1 Singapore visa differ from the H-1B for software engineers?
The H-1B requires USCIS to approve a petition and subjects you to an annual lottery with roughly a one-in-four chance of selection. The H-1B1 Singapore skips both the petition and the lottery entirely. Your employer files a Labor Condition Application with DOL, and you apply directly at the U.S. consulate in Singapore. The 5,400 annual cap for H-1B1 Singapore has never been exhausted, so timing is not a constraint the way it is with the H-1B.
How do I find employers who sponsor H-1B1 Singapore visas for Staff Software Engineer roles?
Migrate Mate surfaces employers with verified H-1B1 Singapore sponsorship history filtered by role. You can search specifically for Staff Software Engineer positions and see which companies have active filing records, so you're targeting employers already familiar with the process rather than educating recruiters from scratch.
Can I switch to a different employer after arriving in the U.S. on an H-1B1 Singapore visa?
Yes, but the process restarts with the new employer. Your new employer must file a fresh Labor Condition Application with DOL, and you may need to return to Singapore for a new consulate appointment rather than completing a change of status inside the U.S. The H-1B1 visa does not have the portability provisions available to H-1B holders under AC21, so plan accordingly before resigning.
What documents should a Singaporean software engineer prepare for the H-1B1 consulate interview?
Bring your certified Labor Condition Application, your degree transcripts and certificates, the job offer letter specifying your title and role responsibilities, your DS-160 confirmation, and your valid Singaporean passport. If your degree is not in computer science or software engineering specifically, include course syllabi or a credential evaluation showing how your coursework relates to the Staff Software Engineer position.
