• Provide feedback and mentorship to team members in technical roles while upholding coding standards through code reviews
• Create and enforce performance standards by establishing and communicating frame-time budgets and working with others to optimize scripts and assets
• Establish and supervise the technical quality assurance process, including integration and functional testing
• Manage the release pipeline, version control, and build distribution, plus meet archiving requirements for external partners
• When relevant, maintain separation in code between internally owned tools and practices from partner-owned finished work
• Write, source feedback on, and revise any technical documentation required by external partners
• Extensive, demonstrable experience in C++ and the Unreal Engine.
• Knowledge of software integration and data pipeline requirements for Motion Capture, specifically LiveLink and Oculus SDK.
• Understanding of wireless network designs at commercial scale while mitigating relevant congestion, reflection and other technical challenges.
