At MSquared, we’re pioneering the next evolution of the internet: an open, interconnected metaverse. Backed by one of the UK’s most well-funded tech startups, our mission is to empower creators, brands, and communities with tools to build scalable, immersive virtual experiences in an open and interconnected network.
We are a multidisciplinary team of engineers, artists, producers, and storytellers who believe in the power of shared digital spaces. Our culture is built around curiosity, empathy, and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.
We’re looking for a platform-agnostic Senior Technical Designer with expertise in systems design, UGC tools, prototyping, and real-time experiences. You’ll be hands-on with cutting-edge tech, hacking together playful prototypes and shaping workflows that empower partners, developers, and creators. Scrappy, resourceful, and ready to draw from Unreal, web, or custom tools to bring ideas to life.
Your Role in Building the Future
As a Senior Technical Designer at MSquared, you’ll balance experimentation with delivery. You’ll build fun, inspiring examples that showcase what our platform can do, while also helping to refine the underlying systems and workflows. You’ll work directly with engineers, artists, and producers to create accessible, extensible tools and experiences that make building in the open metaverse easier and more exciting.
Areas of Impact
Prototype new systems, workflows, and creator tools across Unreal and web technologies
Rapidly create playful, hacky examples that inspire others and demonstrate platform potential
Collaborate to deliver coherent, scalable systems
Identify friction in workflows and user experience, iterating quickly to improve them
Contribute compelling example content that lowers barriers for creators and sparks ideas
Balance extensibility with simplicity, ensuring tools remain approachable without scope creep
We’d love to hear from you if you have
Strong Unreal Engine expertise (especially blueprints) and confidence in exploring beyond it
Experience prototyping with a range of tools, from game engines to web frameworks
A systems mindset, with the ability to think holistically while acting pragmatically
A track record of creating interactive environments, social systems, or emergent gameplay
Strong collaboration skills, able to work closely with engineers, artists, and producers
Bonus points
Familiarity with blockchain, interoperability protocols, or open-source projects
Experience with large-scale multiplayer or persistent-world design challenges
Interest in shaping workflows and pipelines for creators at scale
A playful, experimental spirit that enjoys testing boundaries and surprising users
