- Partner with Engineering and Product teams to advocate for technical improvements, turning complex SEO requirements into clear, actionable development tickets.
What we're looking for
- Expertise in enterprise-level technical SEO, with a track record of managing complex, multi-platform ecosystems with millions of pages.

- Proficiency in structured data and Schema.org, with the ability to leverage metadata to improve content clarity for search engines and LLMs alike.
- Strong analytical skills to evaluate the business value of technical fixes, ensuring we prioritize work that directly supports Unity’s bottom line.

You might also have
- Experience with AI-search diagnostic tools or a deep curiosity for the evolution of generative search and discovery.
- A background in the developer tools or gaming industry, with an understanding of how technical audiences search for code, tutorials, and assets.
