Role Overview

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will create tools used by engineers, QA specialists, production teams, and studio partners around the world. You will remove friction from game development workflows and turn user feedback into reliable, high-quality software.

This role suits someone who enjoys practical engineering challenges, has an interest in games and tools development, and wants to see their work make a visible difference. You will work independently, contribute to technical direction, and may lead a small project or a significant part of a larger one. We value pragmatic engineers who can make thoughtful trade-offs between quality, speed, maintainability, and long-term technical health.

Ideally, we would like someone to be present in our Liverpool office 2-3 days a week, but we can be flexible with remote working for the right candidate.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING:

• Design, develop, maintain, and improve tools, services, and pipelines.
• Own delivery from analysis and design through development, testing, release, support, and iteration.
• Contribute to technical design, including architecture trade-offs, APIs, reliability, security, testing, and operational support.

Experience developing Windows applications within the games industry or building tools that support game dev workflows.

Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent.
