This role will not solely be focussed on managing however, and you will have plenty of opportunity to get involved with the day to day coding side of things.

- Lead and manage a programming team at technical and personnel level
- Mentor junior programmers in the team and plan their skill development
- Help in setting up best practices for coding and conduct regular code reviews.
- Setup processes while working in collaboration with other teams (internal or external) to efficiently meet the technical needs of the project
- Plan and evaluate the work performed by team and analyse the impact on the project
- Identify risks involved with the development of the project and provide solutions to resolve complex problems

We are currently working fully remote however when is is safe to return we can provide a newly refurbished studio that offers excellent facilities and it is a great place to work, with some of the industry’s most talented individuals working here, whilst maintaining a fun and productive environment.
We're a diverse and inclusive bunch here at Codemasters and we welcome applications from all programming talent right across the board. We make a concerted effort to ensure everyone feels welcome and we would particularly welcome applications from women and people from under-represented demographics.
