Our Development Vision
We believe that small, high-performance, highly-coordinated teams of talented individual contributors can move mountains. We want to build teams which stay together for big stretches of their careers because of their stellar coworkers, and the huge impact they can make on their products when working together as a unit.
Requirements
- You have extensive experience with shipping games using the Unreal Engine, and you can prove it.
- You love being a generalist and you’re able to learn any part of game development that might be necessary to keep the studio moving forward, from game programming, to networking, build, infrastructure etc.
- You have 3+ years of experience working as a senior or lead programmer in games.
- You’re comfortable rapid prototyping, making the right tradeoffs between the now and the long term.
- You are scrappy, resourceful, results-oriented and have worked on small teams with tight deadlines shipping commercial products.
- You’re an excellent communicator who proactively keeps the team in sync about your progress.
- You take ownership of you work, don’t require supervision, and move with a sense of urgency.
- You have played a cooperative game or two in the last few months.
If this sounds like what you’d love to be doing, we can’t wait to hear from you. If you’re not sure that you exactly fit the above criteria, get in touch anyway. Alignment with our values is just as important as experience! 🙏
