Description
Company Overview
LEGO Digital Play will bring the LEGO brand into digital entertainment in new, innovative, and wholly-owned ways. Our mission is to ensure the LEGO Brand remains as powerfully a part of children’s lives in the coming decades as it has ever been. We aim to reach every kid on the planet, their parents, and adult fans of LEGO—and provide them with meaningful, magical, and playful new experiences.
We are at the earliest phases of this new company, offering a unique opportunity to build a new entity for the world's most beloved and trusted brand. Our culture is open, collaborative, intellectually rigorous, and creatively vibrant.
Role Overview
We are seeking Software Engineers to build and operate the engineering capabilities that make this platform real. The Developer Platform covers SDKs and APIs, validation and policy services, asset and content pipelines, engine integrations and developer tooling, and we are hiring across several specialisations to cover this surface area.
You will build and maintain components within the platform, partner with product and studio teams to understand how the platform is used, and contribute to the standards that hold the platform together.
We work across the areas below and you will typically contribute most in one or two of them. Tell us where you bring strength and where you would want to grow:
