Job description

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!
