Overview

We are looking for an experienced Software Engineer to join the Presentation team for our Football Club title. In this role, you will help deliver a world-class, broadcast-quality football experience by building and refining the systems that bring the game to life visually and emotionally—from match presentation and camera systems to UI overlays, animations, and in-game storytelling.

You will collaborate closely with designers, animators, artists, and other engineers to create immersive, responsive, and authentic presentation features that elevate the player experience.

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and maintain core presentation systems (camera, replay, transitions, overlays, and match flow)

• Build features that enhance broadcast authenticity (cutscenes, player reactions, crowd moments, pre/post-match sequences)

• Collaborate with UI/UX designers to implement dynamic in-game interfaces and overlays

• Partner with animation and audio teams to synchronize visuals, motion, and sound for cohesive presentation

• Optimize runtime performance for presentation systems across platforms

• Develop tools and workflows that empower content creators (designers, artists, animators)

• Debug and resolve complex issues related to rendering, timing, and sequencing

• Contribute to technical design discussions and help drive best practices across the team

• Mentor junior engineers and provide technical guidance when needed

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience (games or real-time interactive systems preferred)

• Strong proficiency in C++ (or similar systems-level language)

• Experience working with real-time rendering engines (e.g., Unreal, Frostbite, Unity, or proprietary engines)

• Solid understanding of game loops, state machines, and event-driven systems

• Experience implementing UI systems and/or animation pipelines

• Strong debugging and performance optimization skills

• Ability to collaborate across disciplines and communicate technical concepts clearly

Nice to Have

• Experience working on sports or broadcast-style presentation systems

• Familiarity with camera systems, cinematics, or replay tools

• Knowledge of animation systems (state machines, blending, IK)

• Experience with scripting languages (Python, Lua, etc.)

• Passion for football (soccer) and understanding of broadcast presentation

• Experience working on live service or annually shipped titles
