Job Title: Technical Lead
Location: London, UK (Hybrid / Remote)

We are looking for a Technical Lead to help shape the future of interactive experiences across games, immersive media, and real-time systems. You’ll act as a bridge between creativity and technology — guiding technical strategy, mentoring developers, and ensuring every project blends innovation with solid engineering foundations.

Responsibilities:
  • Define and lead technical direction across multiple projects, from Unreal and Unity builds to multiplayer web experiences
  • Partner closely with the CTO to shape technical strategy, processes, and studio standards
  • Architect scalable, efficient pipelines that empower creative and development teams
  • Mentor and guide engineers, fostering a culture of craft, curiosity, and collaboration
  • Balance experimentation with reliability — knowing when to prototype and when to build for production
  • Explore and integrate emerging technologies, especially around AI, real-time systems, and multiplayer frameworks
  • Collaborate with design and production teams to bring complex ideas to life with technical precision and creative integrity
Requirements:
  • Proven technical expertise across real-time engines (Unreal, Unity) and web technologies
  • Strong understanding of networked systems, multiplayer frameworks, and backend logic
  • Experienced technical leader, with excellent communication and mentoring skills
  • Curiosity for new tech and an ability to evaluate its creative and practical applications
  • Comfortable working across multiple disciplines in fast-moving, creative environments
Nice to Have:
  • Experience integrating AI-driven tools into production or creative pipelines
  • Familiarity with WebGL / PlayCanvas and multiplayer web systems
  • Previous experience defining or contributing to studio-wide technical standards
This is an opportunity to take on a defining role at a studio where craft, creativity, and curiosity drive every project. If you’re passionate about bridging design and development, and love building systems that empower creativity — we’d love to hear from you.
