Who we are:
Here at this office, we have a variety of different teams that work closely together such as Recruiting, Engineering, HR, and UX. One unique thing about working in this office is we always work closely together, collaborating on new designs, building relationships with different teams, and learning about their experiences and ideas! Get ready to meet your Austin colleagues and go bold!
The Bond Collection features a few amenities, such as complimentary craft beer, coffee, and first-class business services like package and mail handling. In our free time, we love to bond with other team members and do fun activities such as happy hour, axe throwing, and bowling.
What do we do for fun?
We love to throw a little fun into the mix of our workdays! Around the end of lunchtime or the end of the day, you can catch us playing fun board games or relaxing and grabbing a coffee in our lounge area.
Unity also hosts a variety of fun office events, such as monthly game nights, happy hours, and company celebrations!

Austin is home to all things outdoors and nature! This amazing city has an exciting number of things to do, from hiking trails, concerts at Zilker Park, to paddleboarding on Lady Bird Lake and shopping on South Congress!
Here’s a list of some popular spots nearby:
- Zilker Park: A recreational area in south Austin at the juncture of Barton Creek and the Colorado River that comprises over 350 acres of publicly owned land. It is named after its benefactor, Andrew Jackson Zilker, who donated the land to the city in 1917.
