- Providing a high level of technical skill and oversight, supporting programmers across teams and technical functions in their delivery of robust and maintainable functionality.
- Mentoring and training technical staff across all levels, working to grow both individual skill sets and the overall capabilities of the studio.
- Creating, testing, and maintaining code, systems, and tools in support of the development of our game projects. Identifying areas of code for reuse or those in need of refactor, and executing on this as appropriate.
- Proactively learning the craft of management through mentoring with Technical Managers & the CTO, as well as other learning opportunities.

**Requirements**:
**What we’re looking for**:

- Experience working in game development as a programmer and leader over multiple years and projects.
- Proven and highly developed technical game development skills, including C# & Unity development and debugging, broad knowledge of other programming languages, and a deep understanding of version control.
- Good understanding of software design and architecture, specifically within the context of game development.
- An aptitude for learning new skills and technologies, paired with a desire to expand one’s knowledge base.
- The ability to communicate effectively and with confidence.
- A positive ‘can-do’ attitude, great work ethic and strong sense of initiative.
- Proven workflow, task management and scheduling skills.
- Proven skills in mentoring, and a desire to actively participate in supporting the development of skills and professional practices in others.
- A developed understanding of (and appreciation for) video games as a creative medium.
