Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrei Marks is an engineering manager with 11 years of experience leading Unity-focused game teams and backend services for mobile games, currently based in Palo Alto and working at Niantic after a long tenure at Dots. He blends hands-on game engineering (client-side Unity development, gameplay systems, and SDK/analytics integrations) with service-oriented leadership—owning roadmap, sprint planning, deploy coordination, and observability migrations from New Relic to Datadog. Andrei has driven cross-team infrastructure and cost-saving efforts, migrated legacy docs to Confluence, and introduced package-based Unity tooling to scale cross-game libraries. He mentors interns, manages mixed FTE/contractor teams, and has shepherded products from prototype and soft-launch to live operations. His background uniquely spans game design, research-oriented Unity work (NYU lab projects), and legal/academic training, giving him a rare mix of technical depth, process rigor, and cross-disciplinary communication.
