Everyone has a story. Come write yours!
Who you are:
As a human, you’re a visionary explorer, a pursuer of fun, and focused on building community. You see an opportunity within games to do more and to have more than “just a job”. You’ve had unique experiences that have made you who you are, and that has led to you understanding the importance of diversity in both thinking and in people. Oh, and games… You may like those, too!
Who you are at work:
An entrepreneur; a self-motivated go-getter that enjoys solving problems and sharing the learnings with the team. You leave your ego at the front door and even though you teach us many things about C++, you are always interested in learning from others and creating a safe space for collaboration. You connect with your fellow humans with humour, humility and curiosity. You are excited at being on the cutting edge of technology, and elevating the next generation of Software Engineers!

- You’ll help us build a tonne of cool gameplay systems for our first game prototype!
- Push the studio’s technology forward and champion the adoption of new tools, techniques and principles
- Work collaboratively with a multidisciplinary team, coming up with unique solutions to our trickiest engineering problems
- Dive deep into the Unreal engine, write clean C++ code and document everything clearly for our team and future engineering hires
- Research and play other games to bring fresh ideas to our prototype
- Design, implement and maintain entire game systems
- Schedule, estimate and plan tasks
Your track record might include:
- 5+ years of experience building highly immersive games or experiences
- A BS in computer science or a related field (mathematics, physics, engineering), or equivalent games industry experience
- Solving some of the most complex engineering problems at your previous studio(s)
- Experience with either AI, Animation, Rendering or Gameplay Programming
- Working with early stage prototypes, from concept through to launch
- Highly skilled communication, both verbally and digitally, to different disciplines within the studio
