Principal Engineer
We’re on the hunt for an experienced Principal Engineer.
Who you’ll be working with
We are a multi-disciplinary team of T-shaped creative people, covering Production, Technical Design and QA.
In addition to working on our own tools and products, we also collaborate with an incredible roster of diverse external partners.
What you’ll be working on
Main focus
Working with us on our work with Epic, working on Unreal Engine itself and redacted
From time to time
Coop’s proprietary technology platform, KERNL
A variety of game IPs created both by Coop and/or our partners.
What you’ll be doing
Understanding the actual problems, then proposing and solving them. You need to understand a system and what users need it to achieve, before improving or replacing that system.
Senior to us is about agency to take on a feature from the start to a successfully shipped conclusion.
Principal here means being able to apply that definition of senior, but further. Thinking about how approaches may impact all uses of Unreal adds a layer to this.
You’ll be working with a team of other principal and senior engineers, all supporting each other. That collaboration aims to benefit from the experiences of all to come up with pragmatic solutions.
The goal is always landing the right solution, which solves the actual problem, not the volume of code.
We run a policy of palate-cleanse tasks, aiming to have easier win tasks to balance out the deeper investigations.
What we’re looking for
Strong C++ experience, is required, with knowledge of C# and Javascript/web development having some use.
Unreal experience is desired but not required. The experience and ability as a Principal is the key aspect of the role, not how well you know Unreal. We can guarantee you would get to know parts of Unreal you don’t know right now.
Providing you may meet the criteria described above, we actively encourage applicants who may not be from a traditional games background.
We’re after a person to join the team, not a cog to slot into a machine.
Benefits
100% remote, with quarterly in-person meet-ups
Flexible work day (core hours 10-3pm)
30 days holiday (plus UK bank holidays)
Health insurance including 24/7 GP calls, optical and dental support
Company pension
Zero crunch
Apply
We highly recommend and encourage people from all backgrounds to apply.
Simply drop us an email at jobs@coopinnovations.co.uk and be sure to include the role you’d like to be considered for, a bit about yourself and a copy of your CV.
Please share any additional experience or skills you have. Diversity makes us stronger as a team, so we’d like to know what skills make you…. you.
