Job Description

Technical Director

Longdue Games

• Shape the technology stack further (Unity, Articy), game architecture, and long-term strategy that will drive the creation of our narrative-first, emotionally complex cRPG - Hopetown. • Roll up your sleeves and contribute to the creation of core game systems, tools, and pipelines that will set the stage for our future projects. • Recruit, mentor, and lead a technical team passionate about storytelling and gameplay systems that have real depth and meaning, including some of the original team that worked on Disco Elysium. • Dive into the toughest technical problems, from optimising performance to creating systems that can handle the weight of player-driven choices and consequences. • Work closely with design, art, and production teams to ensure that our technical solutions empower the creative vision and push boundaries in meaningful ways. • Lead code reviews, maintain high coding standards, and ensure the game runs smoothly across platforms without sacrificing the depth we aim for. • Develop tools that enhance workflow efficiency, ensuring that every team member has what they need to bring our game to life. • Be flexible and adaptive as priorities shift, and take ownership of technical risks and challenges as the studio grows.

Job Requirements

  • Extensive experience in a senior or lead technical role within the gaming industry, ideally with narrative-heavy or RPG titles and a ‘2.5D’ art style of the kind seen in Disco Elysium, Rue Valley, and similar games
  • Strong familiarity with Unity Render Pipeline (URP) and a passion for 2.5D workflows.
  • Demonstrated ability to develop and support art pipelines and workflows, optimising performance across assets and ensuring content is brought into the engine smoothly.
  • Experience shipping at least one commercial game on PC and/or console, preferably in the RPG or narrative-driven genre.
  • Deep coding knowledge with the ability to actively contribute to development while guiding the team.
  • Experience working on RPGs or narrative-driven games with complex character systems or player agency is highly desirable.
  • Proven ability to lead, inspire, and mentor a team of technical developers, fostering a culture of innovation and excellence.
  • Strong technical problem-solving skills, especially in areas like optimisation and multi-platform scalability.
  • Expertise in modern game engines (e.g., Unity, Articy), programming languages, and development tools to bring depth to the technical systems.
  • Experience with Agile methodologies and tools such as Perforce, Plastic SCM, or SVN, and build systems that streamline development.
  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills to work effectively with creative teams and ensure that technical choices serve the game’s storytelling depth.

Benefits

  • As a founding member of Longdue, you’ll play a key role in shaping our studio’s future, with equity giving you a direct stake in our success.
  • You’ll help us build on the legacy of foundational story-driven RPGs, pushing the genre forward to create modern classics.
  • This role offers the chance to make a lasting impact on a major narrative-driven RPG, all while enjoying the flexibility of a fully remote setup.
  • Join us on this ambitious journey, and help build something bold and unforgettable.
