Rockstar Games is actively hiring for a Lead Programmer role on their Creator Platform team, specifically seeking candidates with PS5 and Xbox console experience to build next-generation user generated content tools ahead of GTA 6.
Part 1
Rockstar Games is continuing to hire for their grand User Generated Content (UGC) plans ahead of GTA 6's release. A new job listing indicates evolving creator tools on console. This job is one from a series of listings that point toward major UGC ambitions for the upcoming title.
Part 2
Rockstar are currently seeking a Lead Programmer for their Creator Platform team. The person who fills this role will work on Rockstar's 'creator platforms, including first-party tools for the next generation.' The job listing specifically notes a preference for candidates who have 'worked on a released console title over PC' — something of note because existing Rockstar modding tools like FiveM and RedM are currently limited to PC.
Part 3
The position is full-time, based in office at Rockstar North in Edinburgh, Scotland — the lead studio for GTA 6. Up until recently, most Creator Platform jobs were remote roles, but this one requires on-site presence. The shift suggests Rockstar is treating the console UGC platform as a core priority, not a side project.
