Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart

If you're a senior programmer who's looking for a leadership position or an engineering lead who'd like to manage a small team and make direct code contributions, this role might be perfect for you.
This role entails both direct technical contribution as well as team management, so the successful candidate will have to balance programming work with managing while caring for the well-being of their team members.
However, you don't have to worry if you don't have a past experience in people management as Insomniac Games will teach you during your onboarding. Although the company notes that a potential employee still should have displayed technical leadership in some form.
Responsibilities

- Drive the forward development of the engine and tools in your specific area of expertise;
- Provide technical and creative direction and feedback to your team;
- Provide coaching, performance evaluation, and career development for members of your team;
- Contribute code to Insomniac’s game engine, though never at the expense of non-technical responsibilities;
- Plan, organize, monitor, and evaluate your team's work;
- Communicate technical requirements and limitations to production teams;
- Participate in the hiring and onboarding of new employees;
- Collaborate with Insomniac studio leadership to support studio cultural values and foster a positive work environment.
