TECH LEAD
Pragmatism sits at the heart of the role: knowing when a simple, shippable solution is the right answer, and when something more robust is worth the investment.
We’re looking for a Tech Lead who gets what shipping games actually takes. This is not a role for someone who over-engineers, gets stuck in theory, or slows things down waiting for perfection. We want someone hands-on, pragmatic, and decisive!
You should be comfortable making clear calls under pressure, keeping momentum when things get messy, and focusing on “good and shippable” over perfect.
You’ll lead a small team of Engineers while acting as the key technical voice across Production, Technical Leadership, and external co-development partners.
What You’ll Do
-Lead and mentor a small engineering team
-Drive technical direction across gameplay systems, networking, optimisation, and architecture
-Own debugging standards, code quality, and build stability
-Work closely with Production to manage risks, priorities, and delivery
-Collaborate with internal teams and external partners to ship high-quality multiplayer experiences
What We’re Looking For
-5+ years’ games industry experience
-Shipped at least one UE4/UE5 multiplayer title
-Strong C++, Unreal Engine, networking, and optimisation knowledge
-Experience leading Engineers on a project
-Excellent communication and problem-solving skills
-Pragmatic mindset with a focus on quality and delivery
If you’re passionate about multiplayer games, technical leadership, and building great experiences with talented teams, we’d love to hear from you!
