Worldspark Studios is hiring multiple levels of various engineering positions: Client, UI, Graphics, Blockchain, Gameplay, and Generalist. We're currently seeking out AAA veterans to help us build what we call "world-as-a-service", a unique hub-and-spoke take on an interconnected ecosystem of AAA-quality games on the blockchain. We know Blockchain can have several meanings (often negative), so it's important to note that Worldspark's blockchain integration does NOT affect the core game loop, meaning we value gameplay and fun first and foremost.
The following is a generic job post for all levels, starting at mid-level, all the way through Senior, Lead, Principal, and Technical Director. We've included high-level requirements and a few examples of responsibilities, but not that these are position dependent and can be covered individually through the process!

You will collaborate with other disciplines and teams to help define and prioritize engineering initiatives. You will be responsible for leading and working across areas such as content pipelines, gameplay, graphics, networking, player experience, UI, audio, and more. Above all, you will be working with a fun, talented, and inclusive cross-discipline team to build a game that players get to have fun in while also earning real value from playing the game.
