Technical Lead

Found in: beBee jobs CA - 2 weeks ago

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Hinterland Full time

We are looking for a Technical Lead on THE LONG DARK to help shepherd WINTERMUTE to its conclusion and support the ongoing development of SURVIVAL MODE and TALES FROM THE FAR TERRITORY. In this role, you will lead a team of programmers to implement gameplay features and tools for other disciplines to make it easy for them to achieve the creative vision for the game. You'll be working with the Technical Programming Director to identify and drive implementation of new technologies that allow us to bring our games to as many players as possible.

Technical Leads at Hinterland carry a range of production, technical, and leadership responsibilities. You need to be comfortable interacting with developers of all disciplines, guiding and organizing the efforts of a team of programmers across multiple areas, and working in collaboration with other leads to deliver on a backlog of major feature and content areas. As such, we need a technical lead who is committed to the planning process, is comfortable managing a team, and also isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves and help out with developing features as necessary. The ability to adapt to changing conditions is crucial as Technical Leads are looked to by everyone on the project to provide guidance and leadership if production on the game starts running into problems.

You need to have excellent communication skills to be able to effectively distill technical information into non-technical terms and well-defined tasks as you'll be spending much of your time working closely with a cross-discipline project leads group. This requires the ability to take early feature concepts and analyze potential risks with them while providing a high-level overview of tasks and estimates that can be used for planning out multiple future milestones.

In addition to these qualifications, the ideal candidate will have experience supporting a game through multiple post-launch updates. We are particularly interested in hearing from candidates that have worked at either mid- to large-sized triple-A studios or triple-I "indies".

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES:

You will lead the programming team on the project from both a technical and people management standpoint. This involves:

  • Being the primary point of contact for any questions about implementation details or issues in the game.
  • Removing any roadblocks or other issues that programmers on the team run into that prevents them from being as efficient as they could be.
  • Triaging issues and delegating tasks to ensure that the workload is manageable for each member of the programming team but is also challenging enough for them to be growing as developers.
  • Meeting regularly with each member of your team to ensure that they are meeting the studio's expectations for their role and that their growth lines up with their professional goals.
  • Work closely with the animation, art, audio, design and test leads to plan updates and track progress of the implementation of gameplay features and tools. This involves doing high-level reviews of early feature designs and providing constructive feedback about the technical feasibility. You'll also need to give reasonable early estimates for these features to assist in planning out future updates.
  • Work closely with the animation, art, audio and design teams to plan and iterate on gameplay features and tools that allow them to effortlessly apply their vision for our games.
  • Work with the Launch Team to coordinate and support releases for the project.
  • Manage the Perforce streams for the project.

YOUR QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Previous experience leading programming teams.
  • Several years of experience working on multi-platform games.
  • Experience shipping titles, with special preference given to those who have been involved with long-running "games as a service" titles.
  • Extensive hands-on game development experience in a multi-platform environment.
  • Proficient with C# or C++.
  • Comfortable working within a large codebase.
  • Excellent communication skills.
  • Highly organized and self-motivated.

We embrace a flexible working environment that focuses on high-autonomy balanced against high personal accountability. All our positions are remote-first, focused on finding the best fit for culture and talent.

We feel this balance of remote and in-person opportunities creates the strongest alloy for our culture.

We encourage everyone on the team to find balance between work and life, and never ask anyone to compromise one for the other. We are a No Crunch studio. We have high expectations of the level of commitment and the quality of the work done by our team, and trust everyone to manage their own schedule and workload.
