📋 Description

• Design, develop, and maintain core game engine systems using modern C++. • Write clean and intuitive code that can easily be understood by external developers and extended in the future. • Evaluate new technologies and tools capable of improving software development workflows, engine capabilities, and runtime performance. • Collaborate with external programmers to enable their features to run as quickly and efficiently as possible. • Solve crashes, performance bottlenecks, and other problems on both PC and console. • Support a partner studio by building, optimizing, and maintaining central technologies capable of servicing multiple games with unique needs. • This is not a gameplay engineering role.

🎯 Requirements

• Four (4) years of professional experience with C++, including industry experience building and maintaining proprietary game engine technology. • Experience developing and shipping commercial games, as well as the broader ability to write clear, maintainable, and portable code. • Strong understanding of mathematics, analytics, and computer science fundamentals (e.g., data structures, algorithms, concurrency). • Familiarity with real-time rendering systems and GPU/CPU performance profiling, analysis, and optimization. • Experience with multithreaded programming, synchronization, and parallel processing. • Willingness to selflessly put player experiences first — before even your own code and ego. • Proactive approach to communication, particularly when it comes to unblocking yourself and navigating obstacles as part of a team. • Experience with multiple game engines, including Unreal Engine, is a nice-to-have. • Knowledge of 3D graphics, animation, game AI, or gameplay tooling is a nice-to-have. • Familiarity with scripting languages such as Python or Lua is a nice-to-have. • Experience with console development is a nice-to-have.

🏖️ Benefits

• 9 Paid Holidays plus Flexible PTO and Annual Winter Break Closure • Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance • Annual Video Game Budget • 401(k) Retirement Plan • Paid Parental Leave • Hybrid or fully remote work options depending on location
