About Us
Motorsport Games is a racing game developer, publisher and esports ecosystem provider of official motorsport racing series, including the iconic 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race and the associated FIA World Endurance Championship (the “WEC”) which we represent in our recent release Le Mans Ultimate on PC.
Our portfolio also includes the KartKraft karting simulation game, as well as Studio 397’s previous title rFactor 2 - a realistic racing simulator technology and platform. rFactor 2 also powers F1® Arcade through a partnership with Kindred Concepts. Our purpose is to make the thrill of motorsports accessible to everyone by creating the highest quality, most sophisticated and innovative experiences for racers, gamers and fans of all ages. Our products and services target a large global motorsport and video games audience.
We are also striving to become a leader in organising and facilitating esports tournaments, competitions, and events for our licensed racing games. We create and own the technology for RaceControl, a unique system that powers skill-based matchmaking, statistics and server management (amongst other) behind our titles, whilst also offering an optional subscription.
Why Join Us?

Reports to- This role reports directly to the VP of Studios, a key member of the management team who works across departments to raise the quality, consistency and player focus of our products. The VP of Studios works closely with the CEO to define forward-thinking strategies and foster a culture centred on end-user experience, collaboration and delivery. You will work closely with development, live operations and external partners, with marketing positioned as a core contributor to product success rather than a support function.

The Technical Lead provides architectural direction, technical standards, and mentorship, while fostering a collaborative engineering culture focused on performance, maintainability, and user experience.
