* Make sure our technical work is sound, scalable, achievable, and ideally innovative within the project's scope.
* Assess the technical feasibility of the game design and art, and help define our technical approach.
* Write efficient, robust, and reusable code that follows commercial standards.
* Keep the team updated on progress, flag any technical risks or blockers, manage technical expectations, and share/ask for help or feedback.
* Create clear documentation on the project so everyone understands the tech, new team members can get onboard easily, and future development is smoother.
What We’re Looking For
* Strong understanding of computer science fundamentals including data structures, algorithms, and networking concepts, coupled with experience with web-based game frameworks (e.g. PlayCanvas, Three.js, Babylon.js) and 3D graphics concepts.
* Demonstrated ability to work effectively in fast-paced environments, including task estimation, sprint-based development, and clear communication with stakeholders.
* Passion for working with new, unexplored platforms and technologies, such as immersive tech, and a drive to understand the affordances around them.
* Self-organised, self-motivated and hands-on.
Nice to Have
* Portfolio of game development projects focused on social experiences e.g. Roblox / Minecraft or Fortnite.
* Experience with cross platform development: Mobile / AR / VR
