Staff Product Manager, Unity AI
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 Manager to drive the product vision and strategy for AI-powered workflows that improve development efficiency, iteration speed, and production scalability for game developers.
