Core Tech Lead

Do you like being the person who sees how everything connects? Do you enjoy making a whole team more effective, not just your own work?

As our new Core Tech Lead, you’ll be the person who keeps up to ten talented programmers across different workstreams pointed in the same direction. The team works across in-house packages, server deployments, multiplayer solutions, and unifying technologies across projects, and your job is to make sure all of that moves forward in a coherent way. And this is as much a technical role as it is a people one. You’ll still spend at least half of your time on coding, so we need someone with the technical breadth to jump across all of the above when needed.

Here’s what that looks like day to day

• Leading a team of 5-10 programmers, keeping a clear overview of technical priorities across very different workstreams, and making sure the team is unblocked, supported and happy

• Collaborating with a variety of stakeholders, translating high-level goals into concrete priorities

• Writing a lot of code yourself across the team’s different focus areas

• Contributing hands-on to the development of in-house packages, validation tools, localization systems, and multiplayer solutions, among other things

Must-haves

• Expert-level Unity and C# experience

• Shipped games in Unity as part of a team

• Strong experience with Apple platforms, whether that's releasing across iOS, macOS and tvOS, maintaining platform integrations, or building native plugins

• A direct communication style. We say what we mean and appreciate when others do the same

• Flexibility to adapt to how different people work best

• The confidence to make calls independently without needing sign-off on every decision. We’re a relatively small team and we move faster when people trust their own judgment

Nice-to-haves

• Experience with other languages and technologies. Breadth of knowledge tends to improve decision-making

• Experience with other game engines like Unreal or proprietary engines

• Experience architecting and deploying server infrastructure

• Experience working on multiplayer games

Requirements for any job at Triband

• You thrive in taking ownership of your area: you spot problems, seek advice when needed, and implement creative solutions that push projects forward.

• You're motivated by collaboration, mutual respect, inclusiveness, and creativity, and you actively contribute to sustaining that culture.

• You value a positive work environment and contribute to making the studio a fun and supportive place.

• You have team production experiences, such as using version control software (we use git), branching, stand-ups, sprints, and reviews.

Practicalities

• We work a 37-hour work week, with core hours 10-15, and the freedom to start and finish anywhere between 7 and 18.

• We work on-site at our cozy office in central Copenhagen.

• No crunch. People over deadlines.

• Our working language is English.

We offer

• Silly but ambitious projects, and the chance to work on and impact great games that reach millions of players.

• A playful and ambitious work environment where experimentation is encouraged.

• Friendly and kind colleagues who love making each other laugh as much as making games.

• A professional development budget to invest in your growth.

• Social activities like Friday bars, hobby nights, board game nights, team events, you name it.

• Daily lunch at a local restaurant just a walk across the lakes away, with plant-based options (and soft ice on Thursdays).

• Six weeks of vacation (five standard plus one extra on us).

• Paid parental leave at full salary for the periods covered by state reimbursement.

• Child's first sick day on us, no questions asked.

• Pension plan and private health insurance.

• Endless amounts of coffee.
