  • Propose/review architecture, systems, and technical approaches to ensure they satisfy surface-level and deeper, engineering-specific requirements
  • Write, review, and advocate for robust, maintainable code with extensibility in mind

What we're looking for

  • Previous experience and a strong desire to lead and grow a team of developers
  • Excellent native coding skills and programming principles knowledge (C++, Rust, C)
  • Experience in running workloads in the cloud and designing clients interacting with it (networking, protocols, AWS, docker, S3, databases, Kubernetes)
  • Knowledge in asset management for the game and movie industry, including revision control, cook pipelines, and digital asset management (Git, Perforce, DDC, Content Cooking)
  • Firm grasp of UI and tools development best practices
  • Experience with Unreal Engine 5 or other Game Engines
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
