Rockstar hires for GTA 6 creator tools

Rockstar Games is hiring a Lead Programmer for its Creator Platform team at Rockstar North in Edinburgh, the studio leading Grand Theft Auto VI. (rockstargames.com) (rockstarintel.com) The job posting says the team “creates technology, tools, and solutions” for creators and supports Rockstar’s creator platforms, including FiveM and RedM. It describes a system where creators build game modes and modifications in scripting languages and players access them on customized dedicated servers. (rockstargames.com 1) (rockstargames.com 2) One requirement stands out: applicants should have shipped at least one console or PC title, “preferably on the Xbox and/or PlayStation consoles.” The role also calls for experience leading engineering teams of 10 or more people. (rockstargames.com) The posting does not name Grand Theft Auto VI. It does say the hire will help devise strategies for integrating Creator Platform technology into Rockstar “games and products,” while coordinating with game, security, and online services teams. (rockstargames.com) Rockstar’s Creator Platform group is broader than a single programming role. Current openings also include a Community Coordinator in London, a Production Coordinator in Leeds, a Senior Manager, Product in New York, and a Research Associate focused on Creator Platform work. (rockstargames.com 1) (rockstargames.com 2) (rockstargames.com 3) The London community role says the Creator Platform team includes FiveM, RedM, and the Cfx Marketplace, a storefront where creators can share and sell props, scripts, maps, and other items. That listing says the team works with players, creators, and server owners across Rockstar’s ecosystem. (rockstargames.com) That structure traces back to August 11, 2023, when Rockstar said Cfx.re — the team behind FiveM and RedM — had officially joined the company. Rockstar said at the time it wanted to support roleplay creators and improve the services provided to developers and players. (rockstargames.com) Taken together, the listings show Rockstar building a formal creator business around tools, moderation, production, research, and platform engineering — not just a modding side project. The company is staffing that effort across multiple offices while Grand Theft Auto VI development continues in Edinburgh. (rockstargames.com 1) (rockstargames.com 2)
