Role title
Lead Unreal Systems Architect (Immersive Spaces)
Core objective
Lead preproduction of a large scale project consisting of multiple high-end interactive experiences. You will be responsible for developing the “reference project” and global systems during preproduction – architecting a scalable, modular framework within Unreal Engine using external HCI inputs. During production you will be responsible for technical execution oversight of multiple teams who will be producing the adjacent interactive experiences.
Key responsibilities
- System Architecture: Designing a modular system architecture which can be implemented across multiple Unreal projects with varying interactive requirements. Modules need to handle global inputs (various sensors transmitting data over network) and state management across multiple experiences.
- Pipeline Engineering: Establish the “reference project” standards – adopting S1T2’s naming conventions, asset optimization guidelines, CI/CD workflows – to be inherited by four subsequent strike teams. Defining test plans and test cases to be handed off to QA, while leveraging and expanding our automated testing platform for continuous integration through development.
- Technical Specifications: Define and iterate detailed technical specifications and review team members SDD approach to maximise AI tooling quality and cohesion.
- Technical Leadership: Act as the final gatekeeper for code reviews and implementation plans; mentor 6+ developers/artists on best practices for real-time performance and optimisation.
- Reliability & Monitoring: Design for & integrate experiences with our proprietary show orchestration platform ensuring maximum uptime for 12+ hour live environment stability.
