Full-Time
United States
We're looking for someone to ready to lead the game development for a profitable, growing company that teaches tens of millions of kids to code (and doubled our revenue last year). You'll work directly with top-tier artists, game designers, and educators from Harvard, Leapfrog, Teach For America, and more to build games that teach computer science to kids while actually being fun! The best part: this is a hands-on role. Less meetings, more coding! Sound exciting? Read on...


About the Role
You’ll spearhead development of our first Unity-based version of Kodable, with the opportunity to work in a variety of areas including game frameworks, game design, UI, networking, optimization and everything in between. This is a direct-producer role, we're looking for someone that wants to build the product, not just direct.

Currently, Kodable is multi-platform with a main codebase written in JavaScript using Cocos2d-X. We have production deployments for Web and iOS that routinely get hundreds of thousands of users a week. You'll be responsible for bringing this all to Unity, setting the framework for a platform that can be built upon for years to come.


Who we’re looking for:
You care deeply about programming education
You have 5+ years of Unity development experience in a production environment
You have 3+ years experience building applications in with an actual programming language such as JavaScript, Python, etc.
You have released, or been a significant part of the public release of a game (doesn't need to be anything major like a Nintendo game, but ideally something that got a few users)
Highly Preferable (but not required) if:

You have 1+ years experience with 2d game development
You have experience with any Cocos2d frameworks (Cocos2d-X, JS, iPhone). If you don't - that's ok! We can help you get up to speed
You have experience with networking and interfacing with server-side code (saving/loading data, offline syncing, etc)
You have experience building and deploying multi-platform games (deploying to Web and iOS, for example)


Bonus Points if:
You have experience with REST APIs (creating or consuming)
You have experience with game design or illustration
You know COBOL and are an expert at punch-card coding
