The posting

Job description

Specialising in AAA PC and console games development, Red Kite has a proven track record in the creation of cutting-edge games across varying genres.

Having set up home in the beautiful Grade-II listed Park Row House in Leeds city centre, Red Kite continues to develop top-quality games for multiple world-class publishing partners such as Sony, Microsoft, Activision, 2K, SEGA, Warner Bros., Epic, 505, Rare, Rocksteady, Codemasters, Sharkmob, Mediatonic and Remedy.

Several titles include South of Midnight, ASTRONEER, Exoborne, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Hogwarts Legacy, Fall Guys, Mafia: Definitive Edition, Mafia III: Definitive Edition, Control Ultimate Edition, Two Point Hospital, Knockout City, Battletoads, Crackdown 3, Payday 2, Team Sonic Racing, DiRT 4, God of War III: Remastered and many more.

One of the most interesting aspects to working at Red Kite is the diversity of projects present within the studio and we constantly find ourselves pushing the boundaries when it comes to the gameplay that we are creating and the technologies that we are engineering.

  • Technical proficiency across multiple game engines (UE5, Unity or custom engines)
  • Advanced knowledge of game and level design principles
  • Advanced knowledge of C# or a similar scripting language (C++ will also be an advantage)
  • A passion for cutting edge game technology
  • Understanding of optimisation and technical limitations

In your new role you will focus on:

  • Creating prototypes for developing new gameplay ideas and features
  • Implementing design tasks to a high standard in conjunction with art, code and production
  • Designing and implementing innovative game systems
  • Building tools and design systems to enhance or simplify creative work processes
  • Reviewing, tweaking and balancing gameplay
  • Contributing to game concept creation

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.
