Senior Engine Programmer

Job 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.

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.
