We encourage Software Developers to become experts in areas that interest them, however, prefer to allow the ability to work across the project rather than become specialists locked into a specific role.

  • Mentor more junior members of the team to support their development. 
  • Continue to expand knowledge across all areas of the development to support the current project, and propose ideas for future projects. 
  • At least 6 years’ experience as a Software Developer/Engineer in the Games Industry. 
  • Experience working within a large codebase, working independently and collaborating with a larger team. 
  • Experience working with multi-platform titles. 
  • Experience working directly with platform SDKs. 
  • Released titles on consoles. 
  • At least 2 years’ experience as a Senior Software Developer/Engineer in the Games Industry. 
  • Experience writing memory and processor efficient code for current hardware architectures. 
  • Experience working on a title with network multiplayer. 
  • Technical expertise in at least one area of Games Development. 
  • Must have the right to work in the United Kingdom.
  • Must be willing to work onsite in Dundee or East Linton, Scotland.

In return we offer a friendly, small, multi-disciplinary team where your input really helps shape the products, in addition to a competitive salary and a host of benefits.

  • Generous pension 
  • Income protection 
  • Life assurance 
  • Private medical insurance 
  • Dental insurance 
  • Employee assistance programme 
  • Cycle to work scheme 
  • Electric car lease scheme 
  • Savings & discounts
