Technical Lead (VR Game Development)

We are seeking a Technical Lead to take full systemic ownership of our VR game architecture, engine performance, and developer workflow. You will lead a lean team of developers by writing core gameplay systems, setting strict design patterns, and engineering the foundational blocks of our codebase. We require a hands-on architectural authority who prioritizes clean abstraction, strict frame-rate targets, and bulletproof build pipelines.

• Architectural Sovereignty: Analyze existing game stacks, identify CPU/GPU bottlenecks, and design scalable, decoupled game architecture. Write code that functions as a predictable, high-performance engine powering complex gameplay loops.
• VR Performance Targets: Rigorously enforce 90Hz/120Hz frame rates, minimal motion-to-photon latency, and aggressive polygon and draw-call budgets tailored for standalone headsets (Meta Quest / XR2 chipsets).
• Code Quality: Enforce strict type safety, predictable state management, and memory optimization techniques like object pooling and single-pass stereo rendering to maintain optimal performance.
• Autonomous Execution: Translate complex game design documents (GDDs) into technical specifications and drive core features to deployment without supervision.
• Technical Problem Solving: Act as the final escalation point for system failures. Use profiling tools to pinpoint root causes for memory fragmentation or multiplayer physics desyncs and engineer permanent structural fixes.
• Milestone Velocity: Balance architectural integrity with production execution. Ship robust code under tight deadlines and organize fast hotfix turnarounds for live-ops and post-launch patches.

• Systems Leadership: Extensive experience leading development teams and architecting complex game codebases. Must have at least one shipped commercial VR title (Meta Quest, PCVR, or PSVR2).
• Elite Game Engineering: Deep expertise in C++/C# and Unity. Mastery of advanced data structures, architectural patterns, 3D math, and low-level mobile VR optimization.
• VR Locomotion & Networking: Proven ability to build physics-driven, hand-based locomotion systems and ensure deterministic, low-latency state synchronization for multiplayer environments.
• Tooling Mastery: Advanced proficiency in version control workflows (Git/Perforce), automated CI/CD pipelines for Meta Quest targets, and profiling tools (RenderDoc, Engine Profilers).
• Code Refactoring: A track record of reading, refactoring, and optimizing low-performing legacy code into modular, performant systems.
