Bring digital characters to life with clean code, smart systems and proper technical thinking.

This growing creative technology studio is looking for a Unity Developer to help build high-quality conversational avatar experiences. The work sits at the point where realtime development, character interaction, AI and user experience all meet.

You’ll be creating and maintaining the Unity components, scripts and systems that make digital characters feel responsive, reliable and accessible. This is not just about making something look good on screen. It is about building the technical foundations that allow users to interact with AI-led characters in a smooth, believable and consistent way.

You’ll work closely with artists, designers, animators, developers and QA to turn creative ideas into robust technical delivery.

What you’ll be doing
  • Building and maintaining Unity components, scripts and plugins for conversational avatar experiences
  • Writing clean, efficient and reliable C# code across interaction systems, mechanics and realtime features
  • Translating creative and design requirements into clear technical specifications
  • Optimising code and assets for performance, memory usage and a smooth user experience
What you’ll need to bring
  • At least 3 years’ professional experience as a Unity Developer
  • Strong Unity 3D and C# development skills, with a good understanding of object-oriented programming
  • Experience with scripting, physics, interaction systems or realtime mechanics
  • Strong problem-solving, debugging and collaboration skills
The technical bits they’d love to see
  • Experience with performance optimisation, memory usage and reliable build quality
  • Version control experience, ideally PlasticSCM or GitHub
  • Good knowledge of mathematics and algorithms relevant to realtime development
  • Exposure to C#, Python, Jira, technical animation, rigging, skinning or scripting would all be useful
The business

They’re building immersive digital products with a strong focus on character-led experiences, AI, accessibility and responsible innovation. The team is collaborative, creative and technical, so they’re looking for someone who can work well across disciplines and take ownership of the code that brings these avatars to life.

If you’re a Unity Developer who wants to use your skills on realistic, interactive digital humans rather than traditional gaming projects, this could be a very interesting move.

Where to Advertise AI Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise AI jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and communities that reach AI engineers, ML scientists and applied research talent in the UK. The candidate pool is small, highly informed and in demand across multiple sectors simultaneously. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that AI professionals expect — and the filtering mechanisms they rely on. Specialist platforms, direct outreach and academic channels each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise AI roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about time-to-hire across different role types.
