  • Guide your team to build high quality, performant and scalable gameplay systems in Unreal Engine.
  • Foster cross-team and cross-functional collaboration to ensure efficient development.
  • Work with production to contribute to roadmapping and planning efforts.
  • Work closely with designers, artists and other developers to understand their needs and ensure that your team is aligned with everyone to deliver on expectations.
  • Ensure that designers have efficient workflows and tools.
  • Write high-quality code that is optimised, bug-free, and aligned with project goals.

Qualifications

  • Solid management skills, with a minimum of one year of experience managing a team of programmers.
  • At least 7 years of professional programming experience within the games industry.
  • Excellent proficiency in C++ programming.
  • Knowledge of mathematical concepts, including 3D math and linear algebra.
  • Ability to think creatively and strategically to overcome technical challenges and drive innovation in technology.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to effectively communicate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Ability to evaluate the quality of player gameplay experience / game feel.

    • Nice to have

  • Knowledge of Unreal engine and a shipped project using Unreal.
  • Experience with current-gen console hardware.
  • Experience working with multi-threaded systems.

    • Additional Information

    Working Mode

  • This job can be hybrid / in-office from Boston or fully remote from anywhere in the US or Canada.

    • Health & Well-Being

  • Company-paid medical healthcare (dental, vision, and mental).
  • Free mental health support, including access to counseling, psychiatric care, and a variety of well-being webinars.
  • Paid leave — 20 days of holiday per year (26 days after two years).
  • 401K with employer matching.
  • Gym Membership Reimbursement.
  • Menstrual leave — employees who menstruate can take one extra day off when experiencing period pain.
  • RED Parents Network — support for working parents, including childcare benefits, and family-friendly events.

    • Perks & Professional Growth

  • Flexible working hours.
  • Trainings, lectures, and courses — internal workshops, knowledge-sharing initiatives, online tutorials, and e-learning classes are all available.
  • A welcome pack filled with goodies — to help you feel right at home once you join the team.

    • Life in the Office

  • Dog-friendly office — bring your pooch with you and look after them while working! There’s always a furry friend or two to meet.
  • Truly international working environment — a chance to meet and work with a diverse selection of people from all around the world.
  • No dress-code — we like to keep it casual.
