Senior Console Developer:
Hands-on console developer working on both Xbox Series X|S and PS5. You know input remapping, UI/UX cert compliance, first-boot flows, controller navigation, glyph correctness, and systematic cert testing. You can support crash/stability debugging with repro, logs, and profiler traces. Not a junior role — you are expected to ship production-quality fixes without hand-holding.

Must Have:
7+ years professional game development
Minimum 3 years on console (Xbox / PlayStation / Switch)
Shipped at least one console title through platform certification where you personally implemented platform-specific features or cert fixes — not just "worked on"
Unity on console — IL2CPP builds, platform-dependent compilation, Unity Input System (current, not legacy), runtime device detection and input glyph swapping
Solid Unity UI/UX — UGUI or UI Toolkit, canvas layering, focus management, event system navigation for gamepad. You know how gamepad-driven UI differs from mouse-driven UI
Systematic,



checklist-driven work habits — cert compliance is pass/fail on dozens of individual items, you test every permutation and document evidence
Comfortable working on codebases you did not write — navigating unfamiliar project structures, reading someone else's code, making targeted changes without breaking adjacent systems

Positive to Have:
Experience with Xbox XR requirements or PlayStation TRC requirements — even partial (controller disconnect handling, save-data compliance, trophy integration, suspend/resume)
Localisation pipelines in Unity — runtime language switching, font fallback for CJK, string table management
Unity Addressables or AssetBundle systems
On-device profiling — Unity Profiler connected to devkit, reading frame-time spikes, identifying GC allocation patterns
Experience capturing crash dumps/logs from devkits and isolating mínimal repro cases
Familiarity with both Xbox and PS5 devkit workflows

Preferred Not Mandatory:
Experience
