We are looking for a guru. A unique individual so talented they don't fit into the normal tech team structure. This person spends their life frustrated at other people, they are always wondering "Why did they take 10 lines to write that piece of code, it only takes 1!"
Our Architect designs and improves our games engines. They make sure all of our games achieve the highest performance and scalability targets possible. The Architect works alongside the main game development team, helping them with feature architecture where needed and giving advice on developing highly scalable code. They will also lead our R&D on potential new languages for new games engines.
