    Description

    At Skydance Interactive, we believe in pushing the boundaries of what is possible in interactive entertainment. Innovation in game design, technology, and storytelling is the passion that drives our agile studio of dedicated and talented game creators. Collaboration across all disciplines is vital to our success and is at the core of the inclusive culture we strive to foster every day.

    We empower our employees to take ownership of the features they develop and create their own solutions when challenges arise. As our studio grows, we want to bring even more risk-takers, innovators and diverse voices along for the ride as we continue to create the games that will defy convention and define the future of the medium. Our studio was founded in 2008 by several Treyarch veterans as The Workshop. For eight years, we built our reputation in the AAA console space, working on hit titles such as Gears of War, XCom 2, Sorcery and The Evil Within. In 2016, we joined forces with Skydance Media to form Skydance Interactive and set our sights on becoming the premiere studio in the burgeoning arena of Virtual Reality. Following the success of our first VR titleArchangel, we elevated our ambition and tackled The Walking Dead universe in VR. The result was the 2020 genre-defining hitThe Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners. Skydance Interactive, one of the world's leading VR developers and creators of the award winning multi-platform hit The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners, is seeking a Technical Director for our upcoming next-generation game project. We are searching for someone with a passion for innovation and a commitment to process, a high tolerance for risk tempered with sober judgment – a collaborative leader who will bring out the best from the engineering team and the team as a whole.
