About the role

Unity is hiring a Principal Forward Deployed Engineer to embed with departments across the company and transform how they work using AI, agents, and automated workflows.
Join us and help define how Unity puts AI agents to work across the company.

Embed with a partner department and learn their workflows, decision points, systems, and unwritten rules well enough to know where AI will earn its keep and where it won't.
Design, build, and ship agents and automated workflows that solve real problems in that department - replacing manual work, unblocking bottlenecks, and surfacing information that is currently buried.
Connect the systems the department lives in - their SaaS tools, internal services, data warehouse, and communication channels - and build the integrations that don't exist yet.
You will write production code, design and deploy agents, build the integrations that make them useful, and partner with people who do not think like engineers.
This is a Principal individual-contributor role for someone who can ship real software, hold their own in a room with a department's leadership, and figure out what to build when the problem statement results in ambiguity.
International relocation support is not available for this position
Our differences are strengths that enable us to support the growing and evolving needs of our customers, partners, and collaborators.

Significant production software engineering experience - services, integrations, data pipelines, and APIs.
You have shipped something agentic that real people used.
Comfort with ambiguity, where the right answer is often a prototype next week rather than a spec next quarter.
Effective written and verbal communication, especially the ability to explain what an agent can and can't do to people who are deciding whether to trust it.
Prior Forward Deployed Engineer, internal tooling, or solutions engineering experience at a company doing serious AI deployment.
Experience designing evals and observability for agentic systems in production.
Familiarity with MCP, tool-calling frameworks, or agent orchestration platforms.

We offer a wide range of benefits designed to support well-being and work-life balance.
Please note: Benefits eligibility, specific offerings, and coverage vary based on the country and employment status.
Unity also enables teams across industries like automotive, manufacturing, and healthcare to design, simulate, and collaborate in 3D - closing the gap between ideas and reality.
If you have a disability that means there are preparations or accommodations we can make to help ensure you have a comfortable and positive interview experience, please fill out this form to let us know.
