As a Lead Engine Programmer, you will play a key role in developing and maintaining the studio’s cutting-edge game engine. You will work closely with the engineering team to design, implement and optimise core engine systems, tools, and features that power AAA titles.

In your first few weeks in this role, you can expect to:

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify project requirements and develop solutions that meet the needs of the games and studio partners 

  • Design, implement, test and debug engine components, including rendering, physics, animation, audio, input and scripting 

  • Optimise engine performance, memory usage and resource utilisation to ensure smooth gameplay and minimise frame drops or other technical issues 

  • Develop and maintain build scripts, automated testing frameworks, and continuous integration pipelines to support rapid development and deployment. 

To apply for this Engine Programmer role, you will need a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering or a related field, plus at least five years of experience as an engineer in the video game industry, with a focus on game engines, tools, and infrastructure. You will also require the following:

  • Unreal and C++ programming skills 

  • Expertise in object-oriented design, algorithms, data structures and software architecture 

  • Familiarity with common game engine subsystems (rendering, physics, audio, etc.) and middleware such as Unreal Engine, Unity or similar game engines 

  • Experience with Agile development methodologies and version control systems like Git and bug. 

If you’re looking to impact and create change positively, you'll be rewarded with an excellent salary and benefits package for your inclusive and committed approach.
