  • Performance Aware: You know and care how your team’s code affects performance, frame rate, and memory usage

Some of your role:

  • Manage a team of 3-6 engineers through a combination of coaching, mentoring, direction-setting, and hands-on engineering
  • Performance management including writing and delivering reviews
  • Work closely with Product Owners and Project Managers to prioritize, break down, and select work for your team

Essential Traits:

  • 6+ years of professional programming experience in C++
  • 4+ years working in a game engine (commercial or proprietary)
  • 2+ years as a manager or in a similar leadership role
  • Strong understanding of engine specific architecture and low level engineering concerns such as performance, frame rate and memory usage

Bonus Traits:

  • Experience working with Agile delivery
  • Experience implementing in ECS systems or Data-Oriented Development
  • Experience working on voxel world games and/or sandbox games
  • Experience working on Games-as-a-Service (GaaS)

We can offer:
