Your Role: By current industry standards our teams are small, but our ambition is not!
You would be working on and creating a set of tools across a wide range of applications, from Unreal Engine 4, Maya and Houdini, to the occasional infrastructure project, in order to accelerate content creation in the most effective way.

• The ability to adapt to whatever new challenges emerge.

• Education to at least degree level, or equivalent knowledge, in any relevant subject

As a bonus, we’d also love you to have:

• Experience with Unreal Engine 4
  
• Additional language and tool experience (Python, Houdini API, Maya-script/API, etc)

Our Values: Greatness through Excellence, Teamwork & Integrity

We offer great pay, wide-ranging benefits and flexible working arrangements so you can focus on what matters. We avoid hierarchy, egos and crunch, preferring trust, talent and experience to see us through. You will be part of a family, a clan of ninjas who know what it takes to succeed, and who will encourage and support you to do the same.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a BAFTA Award winning studio in the Xbox Game Studios Group and be part of pushing the boundaries of interactive entertainment.
