You’ll not only be a trusted voice but will have the opportunity to learn and grow your career and expertise too.
If you are passionate about creating immersive and visually stunning gaming experiences while pushing what is possible within the realms of Animation Engineering then this is the role for you.
What you’ll need to succeed:
* Unreal Engine experience and extensive use of C++.
* Multithreading with an Animation context for Kinematics.
* Knowledge and understanding of Motion Matching Animation Solutions.
* High competency with Animation Debugging.
* Proven background with Animation Tools Development.

Why We Share Salaries Up Front
At Tanglewood, we believe salary transparency is essential to fairness. We know that people often undervalue themselves when negotiating their salary, and those numbers can shape the trajectory of their entire career. That’s why we’re transparent about what we pay. By removing ambiguity around compensation, we help people focus on doing great work, not guessing their worth.

Tanglewood Games also provide a number of great benefits to our team members. Including but not limited to:
* Discretionary annual bonus scheme

What to expect:
The interview process can be done remotely or in person and is generally made up of three stages:
* Screening call (30mins) with the talent team to figure out the basics on if we’re a fit for each other!
* Technical interview (45-60 minutes) – A more formal interview with our technical hiring managers. This will be a chance for us to get to know each other and for us to talk about your development experience and ambitions in detail. We prefer this to be in the form of a discussion rather than a formal coding exam, but you may be asked to complete some exam questions if the role and level demand it.
* Final interview (45-60 minutes) – A final interview with our company directors or members of our management team. This will be a chance for you to get to know the senior management team and all the things that make us unique. You will have a lot of opportunities to ask any questions about the studio and culture.
