You will collaborate closely with discipline leads to set high technical standards and drive our technology forward, ensuring that every gameplay and UI system is as sophisticated as it is performant.

Your day-to-day will involve implementing, fixing, and optimising core game systems using C# while championing the use of cutting-edge Unity technologies. You will maintain an uncompromising level of technical quality throughout the product’s lifecycle, performing insightful code reviews and offering the kind of constructive feedback that helps the whole team grow.
