Tools Engineering Manager

We are looking for a programmer with a broad range of interests in building versatile, robust tooling. Are you excited by the search for ways to use technology to empower more effective and creative development? Do you enjoy unlocking the potential of world-class game artists, designers, and storytellers? Are you interested in mentoring engineers, sharing your expertise, and bringing together disparate disciplines into a cohesive, cooperative unit? If you’re interested in pushing the boundaries of how games are made, we would love to hear from you! 

About Our Team 

The Engineering team at ArenaNet thrives on a wide array of perspectives, experiences, and interests. We know that the best creations come from healthy and friendly teams. Our work is woven together with the efforts of other disciplines and crafts within game development. We seek out voices and ideas that might be new to us. We are always on the lookout for ways to help each other, both within the Engineering team, and throughout the entire studio. 

Requirements 

You’ll need to be very comfortable in C++ and C#; able to dig into deep, complex systems to provide technical guidance to veteran engineers; and able to communicate effectively with leadership outside the engineering department. It will be essential for you to work closely alongside creative designers, writers, programmers, and artists to unlock the full potential of those teams and balance engineering support between their competing goals. Additionally, we will be asking you to directly manage several tools engineers providing support, technical mentorship, and career development. ArenaNet is committed to celebrating and nurturing our staff, along with our wide variety of backgrounds, so you'll need to be willing to engage and collaborate with a range of other team members within the studio, as well as uphold our collective values.
