StockholmOn-siteFull-time

AI Summary

Technical Director leading the transition of a game from prototype to pre-production, defining technical architecture, engineering roadmap, and overseeing Unreal Engine development and team mentorship.

About this role

We are now seeking a Technical Director to take the reins of our new project’s technical vision, a project moving from the prototyping phase into pre-production.

As the TD for this specific title, you will transition the project from a proven prototype into a scalable, high-performance production. You will be responsible for defining the technical architecture, establishing the long-term engineering roadmap, and ensuring the team has the robust tools and systems needed to bring this ground-breaking experience to market.

What you'll do

  • Build the Foundation: Transform a successful prototype into a stable, production-ready system, ensuring the technical foundation is scalable for full-scale development.
  • Lead the Transition: Guide the engineering team through the shift from experimentation to pre-production, balancing rapid iteration with long-term code health.
  • Unreal Engine Stewardship: Set the standard for Unreal Engine development on the project, overseeing everything from core systems to performance optimization and multiplayer stability.
  • Strategic Roadmap: Own the technical roadmap, aligning engineering milestones with creative goals and go-to-market timelines.
  • Mentor & Grow: Lead and support a dedicated team of engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence, collaboration, and proactive problem-solving.
  • Cross-Discipline Partnership: Work closely with Art, Design, and Production Directors to ensure technical feasibility and high-performance execution of the game’s creative pillars.

    • Who you are

  • You have a proven track record of taking projects through the full lifecycle, from early concept/pre-production to a successful global launch.
  • Extensive experience in Unreal Engine development is a must, specifically regarding how to structure large-scale projects for performance and maintainability.
  • You have shipped at least one major title in Unreal Engine, ultimately we are seeking someone with multiplayer experience.
  • While you appreciate experimentation, you thrive on bringing order to chaos. You know when to "hack" a prototype and when to "build" a system.
  • You are a strong communicator who can mentor senior engineers while clearly explaining technical risks and opportunities to non-technical stakeholders.
  • You possess broad technical skills across the game stack and aren't afraid to dive into the code to solve complex architectural challenges.
