Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJohn Dickinson is a seasoned software engineering manager with a decade of focused experience in C++, C#, and tooling across large-scale product and release engineering at Unity. He progressed from hands-on roles fixing critical enterprise bugs and maintaining legacy code to leading the Release Engineering Tools team, blending deep technical expertise with people leadership. His background includes running a backport service, supporting .NET VM work for IL2CPP and Mono, and building automated testing and simulator features earlier in his career—evidence of a pragmatic, reliability-first approach. Unusually for an engineering leader, he pairs an MSc in Software Development with a BA in English, which supports clear communication across technical and non-technical stakeholders. Based in Bassetlaw, UK, he is comfortable driving cross-functional initiatives that stabilize and streamline complex release pipelines.
