Tech Lead - Minecraft (Bedrock Edition)

Mojang Studios is best known as the creators of Minecraft, but we’re also on a mission – to build a better world through the power of play.
Why play? Well, play is at the heart of everything we do. It’s the blocky backbone of our games, the core of our development philosophy, and even the origin of our name.

Minecraft is developed on two platforms, the Java platform, and the Bedrock/C++ platform. As the Tech Lead of the Minecraft team for the Bedrock edition, you have the unique challenge of helping to design and implement gameplay systems, allowing our incredible community to realize their creations using mechanics and technologies that you created, and improving the performance and stability of the game as a whole. The Minecraft: Bedrock Edition team is expanding to help realize our dream of a better Minecraft experience.
In this role, you will have two primary areas of accountability: engineering health, and delivery.
