Technical Lead for Water Information Systems within Hamilton's Public Works, overseeing data management and GIS projects. Leading initiatives to enhance software applications for asset management.
About the role
- Lead Engineer responsible for coaching engineers while coding on live game projects at Devoted Studios. Collaborating with clients and optimizing gameplay systems in a remote environment.
Responsibilities
- Write, review, and own C++ code on the engagement — Lead Engineer is not a title that means you stop coding
- Build and maintain core gameplay, engine, or systems components as required by the engagement
- Unblock engineers on the team when they are stuck — architecture calls, engine deep-dives, debugging
- Performance profiling and optimization across target platforms (console, PC, or mobile as required)
- Lead and mentor engineers on the project team — grow their craft, review their work, catch drift early
- Run engineering rituals: sprint planning, technical reviews, code reviews
- Escalate resourcing or capability gaps to production before they affect delivery
- Provide honest engineering assessments to support hiring and team growth
- Be the technical voice in client conversations — represent engineering with clarity, not jargon
- Partner with the Senior Game Producer to keep technical scope in sync with the schedule
- Surface trade-off decisions early: 'here is the risk, here are the options, here is my recommendation'
- Maintain the client's confidence that Devoted's engineering bar is where it needs to be
Requirements
- 7+ years of software engineering experience with at least 4 years in AAA or mid-tier game development
- 2+ years as a Lead Engineer, Principal Engineer, or equivalent — with real ownership of technical direction, not just senior IC with a bigger title
- At least 2 shipped commercial titles as a lead or senior contributor — on PC, console, or both
- Deep Unreal Engine 5 expertise: C++ at an architectural level, not just usage; Blueprint proficiency; engine subsystem familiarity (rendering, physics, gameplay framework, GAS a strong plus)
- Strong C++ fundamentals — systems design, memory management, performance reasoning
- Experience leading small engineering teams and growing engineers' craft
- Comfort in client-facing environments — can hold a technical conversation with a client engineering lead without translation
- Remote-first discipline: async communication, documentation habits, strong written English
- **Preferred**
- Experience in a co-development or external development studio environment
- Multi-platform development experience: console certification, platform compliance (PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo)
- Online multiplayer systems, dedicated server architecture, or live-service game experience
Benefits
- This would he a full-time employment role with standard industry benefits in Canada
