ABOUT THE ROLE: We are seeking a Principal Game Engineer to join our growing co-dev team. In this role, you will take ownership of the systems players feel most directly: gameplay, UI, 3Cs (character, camera, and controls), and AI. Working across a variety of partner projects, you will design, implement, and refine the systems that drive the moment-to-moment experience, bringing expert engineering judgement to everything from input handling and camera behaviour to UI architecture and core gameplay systems.

An ideal candidate is passionate about games, has deep experience building player-facing systems in Unreal Engine (or similar), combines expert C++ and C# skills with strong 3D maths, and has a track record of delivering polished, responsive player systems and experiences. WHAT YOU'LL DO: Player Experience Development: Design, implement, and polish gameplay features, UI systems, and 3Cs (character, camera, and controls) that feel responsive, intuitive, and satisfying in players' hands. Technical Leadership: Own the technical direction for player experience work across projects, making sound architectural decisions, anticipating risks, and guiding solutions from prototype through to ship quality. Customer-Facing Collaboration: Act as a senior technical representative to our partners, gathering requirements, presenting solutions, communicating trade-offs clearly, and building the trust that underpins great co-development relationships. Critical Problem Solving: Apply strong analytical and debugging skills, including profiling and diagnostic tools, to investigate and resolve complex technical issues across gameplay, UI, and engine-level systems. Mentorship: Support and mentor engineers across the team, sharing expertise in player experience engineering and helping to grow the studio's capabilities in gameplay, UI, and 3Cs. Code Review: Champion high standards of code quality, performance, and maintainability through code reviews, constructive feedback, and by setting the example in your own work.
