  • Support pitches and proposals with technical scoping, estimates and solution design alongside Creative Operations Director.
  • Write and review code and set technical direction on client projects in Unreal Engine 5 and other common and proprietary game engines.
  • Support Technical Artists, UI/UX, 3D, Animation and Concept team teams by building & guiding tools, pipelines and implementation, bridging art and engineering.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
