About the role
This is a role within our London-based Immersive team. Reporting to our Lead Game Programmer, you'll have the unique opportunity to build and deliver cutting-edge interactive experiences that blend physical and virtual worlds. You'll be involved across the entire project lifecycle, from rapid prototyping of internal concepts to delivering high-quality products on emerging platforms, AR, VR, real-time animation, and location-based attractions.

- Own the end-to-end implementation of core interactive mechanics and functionality, taking features from concept through to final deployment.
- Write clean, well-documented, optimised, and testable C++ code within established software architectures.
- Partner closely with creative and production teams to rapidly prototype experimental features, display solutions, and sensor integrations.
- Work alongside QA to profile, debug, and optimise engine performance, ensuring projects hit platform targets and framerates without losing visual quality.
- Guide non-technical team members, technical artists, and CG/VFX artists on engine best practices, performance limits, and asset budgets.
- Participate in code reviews to share constructive technical feedback and author clean internal technical documentation.
