United Kingdom Hypixel Studios Full time
Senior Engineering Manager - Game Systems

Tech Remote/ In-Office

We're looking for a Senior Game Systems Engineering Manager to join our team at Hypixel Studios , which collaborates remotely from around the world. Our members range from industry newcomers to experts with 25+ years of experience. Team members come from a diverse set of backgrounds, but share a common passion for building polished player-focused, community-powered games.

Join us on our mission to bring players together in an inviting, immersive world where they can make their mark. Hytale empowers creative expression across a spectrum of experiences including sandbox adventure, social play, minigames, and creativity using a suite of powerful and accessible tools.

As a Senior Game Systems Engineering Manager , you will support and develop both senior engineers and growing engineering managers through a combination of coaching, direction-setting, career management and some hands-on engineering. Your teams will design, prototype, and implement the fundamental systems which underpin Hytale’s game systems and gameplay.

Who you are:

  • An Experienced Manager: You have built happy, high performing teams, helped them deliver successful products to players. You are passionate about people management. You set career growth expectations for individuals on your team and mentor them to meet those expectations
  • A Force Multiplier:  You understand how to empower engineers on your team to learn, grow, and scale, and you know how to build systems that will scale to other disciplines such as Tech Design, Art, Animation, and Audio.
  • Calm under pressure: You exude calm in even the toughest of situations. When things get spicy, you work as a cooler to help the team reach a solution.
  • Adaptable: You are comfortable with switching gears between team leadership, technical architecture, process improvement, and individual coaching.
  • A Great Partner: You are a skilled communicator, relationship builder, and negotiator. You use these powers for good and focus on getting to the best outcomes for players by working closely with other disciplines and teams

Some of your role:

  • Manage a mix of 3-8 managers and individual contributors, including career planning, performance management, goal setting, review writing, and review delivery
  • Lead senior technologists in architecting and designing Game Systems to empower creators and technologists to create Hytale’s gameplay experiences
  • Work closely with Product Owners and engineers to align the technical vision of the tech owned by teams in your area to the design objectives for the product
  • Coach technologists to scope and estimate deliverables, then work closely with Producers to build and maintain a roadmap of product milestones based on that data
  • Plan and execute long term strategies that benefit your team, the product, and the studio
  • 6+ years of professional programming experience in C++ or similar language
  • 4+ years as a manager, tech-lead, or in a similar leadership role, including experience with recruiting, leading individual contributors and managers, goal setting, organization design, and performance management
  • 2+ years working in a game engine (commercial or proprietary)
  • Values-driven and results-oriented. You are highly comfortable setting goals, identifying appropriate KPIs and measuring outcomes.
  • Experience working with Agile delivery
  • Experience working on voxel world games and/or sandbox games
  • Experience implementing in ECS systems or Data-Oriented Development
  • Experience with console and/or mobile platform development
  • Experience implementing one or more Game Systems, such as Environments, Character Controls, Combat, Animation, Camera, Physics, Inventory, etc

We can offer:

  • Annual Performance Bonus (APB)
  • Quality of Life increases
  • Christmas closure
  • A chance to work on a new game project with an extremely motivated team
  • Opportunities to learn and grow personally and professionally
  • A stable and secure work environment
  • The ability to work remotely

We’re looking for applicants who are self-driven, put players first, and that have a history of making cool stuff. In return, we can offer an environment that values and supports individual creativity and passion and believes in fostering new talent. We recognize the value of diversity in every sense and actively encourage candidates from diverse backgrounds to apply.
