Job Description

Mojang Studios is best known as the creators of Minecraft, but we’re also on a mission – to build a better world through the power of play. 

Why play? Well, play is at the heart of everything we do. It’s the blocky backbone of our games, the core of our development philosophy, and even the origin of our name. From the relentless experimentation of our endlessly inspiring community to the classrooms where Minecraft has become an essential teaching tool, play is the bedrock of our existence. 

Mojang is looking for a Tech Lead to take on the challenges around implementing features for the universe of Minecraft Dungeons

The team consists of 50+ people, half of which are developers and the rest a mix of; designers, artists, audio designers, QA, build engineers and producers. We all collaborate closely within and across disciplines as well as with our partner studio in the U.K. 

As a driving technical force within the organisation, you will support your own and other teams to adopt the correct technology and processes to drive the franchise forward. You will be responsible for architecting end-to-end workflows for your team, and to ensure this flow integrates smoothly within the wider organisation when relevant, while keeping your own work running with quality and speed. As a senior lead, you aim to not only level up your own team, but also to support all other technical leads to level up their own teams by sharing best practices both in workflow and quality. 

Your tasks will include:

  • Act as principal architect for the game
  • Tech Leads must keep their technical skills up-to-date, and we see this happening by writing code themselves.
  • Hold technical talks for other leads about workflow methodologies, new technologies, or programming approaches
  • Act as a “go-to” person with consideration to quality and delivery
  • Commit to franchise initiatives either for your own team or related teams 

Qualifications 

  • A willingness to take on a lead role and support and act as a role model to less experienced developers
  • Very strong proven C++ skills
  • Proficient in one modern game engine (like Unreal)
  • Experience with agile methodologies and workflows
  • Experience with architecture of multiplayer games.
  • Used to working in an international environment and to express yourself fluently in English.
  • Strong interpersonal skills and proficiency in collaborating with people from different professions and skillsets. 


We look forward to hearing from you!
