Supermassive Games have produced some of the most recognisable and compelling storytelling titles in the world of AAA games. The BAFTA-winning Until Dawn, the cinematic masterclass of The Dark Pictures Anthology, the multi‑award winning The Quarry, the action‑packed rollercoaster horror VR titles Switchback VR and Rush of Blood to the world of Little Nightmares, and many more! Time and time again, our incredibly talented and passionate team have delivered games that strike fear into all that dare to play.

We’re now on the hunt for a Build and Full Stack Engineer to join us here at Supermassive Games. Fancy joining our team and creating your own story? This is a 6‑month fixed‑term contract to start February 2026.

You’ll collaborate directly with game teams to understand their needs, develop extensible systems, and provide ongoing support. You will need to take advantage of different systems and technologies, and work with a diverse range of users with varying levels of technical expertise. In addition to developing technical solutions, you’ll create interactive dashboards and web‑based content workflows. If you are a Build Engineer with an interest in web development, or a Full Stack Engineer with build experience, or are unsure whether your experience is strong enough – we would still love to hear from you!
