Full job description

Who We Are

At Cast Iron Games, we build technically ambitious games in a calm, focused environment, where every team member has a voice. Based in Tileyard North, we collaborate with high quality partners on high-quality projects, guided by clarity, consistency, and mutual respect.

We're a young and growing studio delivering AAA games. Our experienced team has contributed to some of the industry's biggest AAA and independent titles, and we're building a supportive, balanced environment where great work happens without crunch.

The Role

As a Senior Engine Programmer, you'll work on the foundational systems that power game development. You'll develop and maintain core engine technology, improve performance and scalability, and build systems that enable teams across engineering, design, art, and production to work effectively.

You'll be trusted to own complex technical problems, contribute to long-term architecture decisions, and mentor less experienced developers.

Responsibilities

Design, implement, and maintain core engine systems
Improve engine performance, memory usage, scalability, and stability
Develop tools and workflows that improve team productivity
Work across systems including memory, threading, IO, streaming, asset management, and platform support
Debug complex technical issues across large codebases
Collaborate with multiple disciplines to support project requirements
Contribute to technical planning, estimation, and architecture discussions
Mentor junior and mid-level programmers through reviews and knowledge sharing
Help maintain engineering standards and best practices

What We're Looking For

Technical Experience

Strong C++ programming experience within large game codebases
Experience developing or maintaining engine-level systems
Strong understanding of memory management, multithreading, and performance optimisation
Comfortable working with proprietary technology and solving complex technical challenges
Experience profiling and debugging complex technical issues
Familiarity with console and PC platform requirements
Comfortable using Perforce and Jira

Ways of Working

Comfortable owning complex systems from design through delivery
Able to balance short-term development needs with long-term maintainability
Strong communicator across technical and non-technical disciplines
Proactive in identifying risks and proposing solutions

Bonus Points

Experience shipping games using proprietary engines
Familiarity with platform compliance and certification requirements
Experience building internal tools and development pipelines
Knowledge of rendering systems or graphics architecture
Experience working with external partners or co-development teams

Why Cast Iron Games

A people-first studio with a clear focus on craft, clarity, and collaboration
A high-trust team where experience is valued and voices are heard
A respectful, experienced team with a strong engineering culture
The opportunity to ship performance-optimised, cross-platform games you're proud of
Projects that offer real variety. Different game engines, new challenges, constant growth
Creative surroundings at Tileyard North, with a supportive creative community
Competitive salary, flexible hours and professional development support
Opportunities to lead with clarity, autonomy, and real impact
No crunch. No egos. Just good code, good people and good games
