Come join the team that has published Halo, Gears of War, Forza Motorsport, Crackdown, Viva Pi?ata and more.

Microsoft Game Studios is looking for Technical Directors to come join its high-powered publishing engineering team. This is a leadership position within the publishing organization that advises our partners on engineering matters and provides risk analysis for our production management.

As part of the team you could help shape new unannounced intellectual properties as well as games like Too Human, Alan Wake, Mass Effect, or Zoo Tycoon. You can either get in on the ground floor of a new potential franchises or help make or work on well established ones.

You would help with risk analysis, organizing resources, project planning, aspects of implementation, final performance tuning and preparation for shipping. You would work very closely with project producers and perform a variety of engineering consultancy work. You would have exposure to senior management and multiple facets of the publishing business across multiple disciplines. The expectation is that you have the ability to get in and code if needed but have the experience and insight that you can see problems before they manifest themselves and quickly earn the trust of our partners.

The position requires that you have shipped at least one major console or Windows title. Experience with C/C++, Win32 and DirectX is essential, and exposure to console development or common gaming middleware strongly preferred. A BS or MS in computer science or related discipline is required.

The ideal candidate would have been a programming lead on a shipped title, be self-motivated with strong communication skills and a passion for games, able to work effectively with other disciplines and external development partners. Some travel, both foreign and domestic, is required for this position.
