  • Drive and support the growth of the team through training, goal setting and professional development
  • Closely collaborate with Art, Engineering and Production teams to understand requirements, defining technical roadmaps and prioritise work
  • Continuously look for opportunities to improve how we work through technical advancements and adopting new best practices

What we’re looking for:

  • Strong knowledge of Unity, Unreal or similar
  • Experience shipping AAA games across multiple platforms
  • Strong technical expertise across several categories of technical art.
  • Excellent communication skills

Are you interested in joining a business who strive to create moments that matter, for millions of players, in games that run for years? Does the idea of working together with a friendly team of Tonics towards the common goal appeal to you?

As a creative business, we recognise that creativity is best inspired by different experiences and perspectives and we strive to create a culture of belonging, where all our colleagues feel welcome and diversity is celebrated. As we push towards ever more ambitious and high quality titles, we are looking for the finest talent in the industry to come and join us on our quest.

How to apply & really impress us:

As a people first company, our biggest priority is to hire the right person. A cover letter that tells us a bit about you and what you’re passionate about really helps to get our attention and distinguish your application from the crowd. Successful applicants will usually have a phone chat before being invited to a full interview and in some cases a panel interview with colleagues across Mediatonic & Epic. We look forward to hearing from you!
