Designer : Systems.

At Rockstar Games, we create world-class entertainment experiences.

A career at Rockstar Games is about being part of a team working on some of the most creatively rewarding and ambitious projects to be found in any entertainment medium. You would be welcomed to a dedicated and inclusive environment where you can learn, and collaborate with some of the most talented people in the industry.

Rockstar San Diego is looking for talented developers whose skill set combines technical excellence with a passion for making games. As part of the Design / Scripting team you will be coding gameplay systems. You will be required to engage with a range of classic game programming areas such as AI, physics, animation, UI, and data management among others.

This is a full-time, in-office position based out of Rockstar's new state-of-the-art game development studio in Carlsbad, CA.

WHAT WE DO

• Our team creates the backbone upon which the rest of the design team authors our game's missions, random events, ambient life, and everything in between. Additionally, we create tools to facilitate said authoring, improve iteration times and increase the productivity of all teams, not just the design department.
• We assume responsibility for programming the design team's systems, creating code which is often complex and intricate - both for single player and online content. That responsibility also extends to the analyzation and optimization of code created by our teammates and us.
• Our ability to implement design centric systems directly allows us to quickly iterate on new features and ideas, often with less of a dependence on the programming team. This frees both departments up from potential bottlenecks.
• As our systems affect many other teams and departments, we are proficient in both inter- and intra-studio communication, relying on and providing feedback to other teams, ultimately empowering us to create the immersive worlds we are known for.
