Senior Technical Product Manager, XR Platforms
About the role
The opportunity
Unity powers millions of creators — and XR is one of the most exciting frontiers we support. This role owns how Unity runs across the XR ecosystem: headsets, mixed reality devices, and whatever comes next.
You'll set the platform roadmap, negotiate directly with global hardware partners, and work hand-in-hand with engineering and R&D to keep Unity's XR capabilities ahead of the curve. This is a high-visibility role with real influence — your decisions will shape what millions of creators can build.
Short-term: stabilize and expand XR platform support, build strong partner relationships, and close critical dependency gaps. Long-term: position Unity as the go-to engine for next-gen XR and AI-assisted creation.
What you'll be doing
- Own the XR platform roadmap — analyze market trends, identify emerging platforms, and make the case for where Unity invests for maximum creator impact
- Negotiate with global hardware partners and navigate deep internal dependencies to keep platform-level stability a top priority
- Author high-stakes strategy documents and stay close to the technical details of Unity's interaction with XR hardware
- Partner with R&D to shape how AI-driven authoring and internal tooling evolve engine support for XR platforms
- Represent Unity's platform vision externally — at XR industry conferences and in strategic overviews for partners and customers
What we're looking for
- Proven track record shipping complex, technical products — middleware, OS, developer tools, or large-scale platform integrations
- Experience managing external partner relationships and influencing internal stakeholders across a large organization
- Technical fluency in APIs, rendering pipelines, and hardware abstraction — comfortable going deep with architects and engineers
- Ability to untangle complex cross-functional dependencies and drive execution from strategy to shipping
- Exceptional written and verbal communication — can distill technical roadmaps into compelling narratives for any audience
You might also have
- Hands-on familiarity with Unity or another major game engine
- Experience integrating AI tools into developer or creative workflows
- Background in developer advocacy, conference speaking, or partner-facing platform evangelism
