Unity is a game engine created by Unity Technologies. Besides Windows PCs, it supports over 20 other platforms and is primarily used in video game development. The main appeal of Unity is that it takes care of a lot of the basics that developers don’t have to code from scratch – such as elementary physics, 3D and 2D rendering, collision detection, etc.
Unity also includes various optional developer services like Unity Analytics, Unity Ads, Unity Multiplayer, Unity Collaborate, etc. However, the main draw is the engine’s colossal asset store, which is filled and used by the developer community. Developers can upload and download third-party resources like models, textures, engine plugins, and extensions. Some of these assets are available for free, while others can be purchased.
Unlike other popular game engines like Cryengine or Unreal Engine, Unity isn’t as great at hardware-intensive high-end graphics. On the other hand, Unity is much better for junior developers and industry newcomers, with a learning curve that’s nowhere near as steep.
Also, Unity is one of the top choices for mobile development. Almost 50% of all games developed for Android and iOS devices were built in Unity. And the engine’s cross-platform support means porting games to other platforms is easy. Plus, Unity is also known for great VR support – making it an ideal choice for developers working on HTC Vive or Oculus Rift games, for example.

Unity developers work on designing and implementing various game functionalities. They build and test the game code, find and remove bottlenecks, and generally ensure a high-quality standard for the finished version of the game. After that, they may also work on patches, bug fixes, and various other updates.
When hiring a Unity developer, the ideal candidate will always be someone who has already worked on a Unity game before – someone who knows the ins and outs of the software. Besides that, a great candidate should display top-notch coding skills and exceptional attention to detail.
