We are looking for a Tech Lead. You will have a major part in forming tech and the workflow for our upcoming projects. You will work closely with other team leads, such as the creative lead, art lead and design lead, and a small team of tech programmers who will help develop the engine.
You will help a project smoothly transition into pre-production, production and then launch. At the early stages of pre-production you work with prototyping and help the team quickly test their ideas.
During pre-production you will develop new tech and tools that will be used by the project. You would be working with low-level systems such as IO, AI, rendering, scripting, sound and physics and create user friendly UI.
