Additionally, we create tools to facilitate said authoring, improve iteration times and increase the productivity of all teams, not just the design department.

- Work as part of the design department and with the code team to help shape the C++/C# interface.
- Identify and fix memory and performance issues.
- Help define code standards, work processes, and look after the overall code quality.

- Real passion for game development and software architecture., Demonstrable experience of working on large scale software projects.
