Principal Product Manager, Core Standards
Role description
Location: Remote, USA
Department: Product Management
Requisition ID: JOBREQ-2515416
The opportunity Join us in shaping the future of development at Unity. We’re building Core Standards—a groundbreaking initiative that will transform how developers trust, manage, and integrate third‑party tools in the Unity ecosystem. You’ll be responsible for leading the evolution of guidelines and verification systems that ensure the third‑party ecosystem is secure, signed, and stable.
As developers gain more control over their data through our Data Developer Framework—where they maintain complete ownership while Unity provides the infrastructure to collect, organize, and unlock its value—Core Standards becomes even more critical. You’ll ensure that packages touching developer data and gameplay are trustworthy, work reliably with diagnostics, and remain dependable over the lifetime of a project. This is your chance to raise the bar for the entire industry, making games more performant, efficient, and stable for end‑users everywhere. We announced Core Standards at Unite, and now we’re ready to bring this vision to market in 2026.
What you’ll be doing
Define and evolve the Core Standards framework, establishing the criteria against which third‑party Unity packages are measured and verified
Partner with third‑party developers and publishers through negotiation and collaboration, building trust and adoption across the ecosystem
Craft and evangelize a compelling narrative that connects Core Standards and the Data Developer Framework, helping developers understand how verified packages and data control work together
Responsible for leading Package Manager integration strategy, ensuring verified packages are discoverable and easy to adopt
Shape the product roadmap and go‑to‑market strategy, turning the Unite announcement into a successful 2026 launch
What we’re looking for
Technical background in mobile app development with understanding of package management systems and integration workflows
Proven track record bringing developer‑facing products or platform features to market successfully
Experience negotiating and building partnerships with third‑party developers or technology providers
Strong abilities in product strategy for ecosystem or marketplace products
Effective written and verbal communication skills to inspire both technical and business audiences
You might also have
Experience in game development or familiarity with the gaming industry
