Gameplay Engineer
: Job Details :

We're looking for an experienced Gameplay Engineer to create the next reality together.

You could be the one if...

You are very fast at prototyping features, but understand enough about software architecture to scale to production level code. You love to solve complex, and shifting problem sets as the company grows.

You have a thirst to learn extremely quickly, and be ready to wear a lot of engineering hats.

You possess a borderline irrational love of games. This is not just a job -- you are on a mission to create a believable world for millions to live inside.

We're looking for engineers that are passionate about world-building, problem solving, and creating incredibly memorable gaming experiences for our players.

• Optimize client side performance to hit mobile performance budgets.
• Implement VFX, SFX, lighting, environment and character art assets and animations.
• Develop and script AI and enemy monster behavior, and encounters.
• User Interface programming and design.

Requirements

• One or more shipped gaming titles, especially in VR.
• 5 years of work experience.
• Strong, Unity engine experience.
• Advanced C# programming skills.
• Experience developing on network game architectures.

Pluses

• Experience with graphics APIs and shader languages.
• Understand game design and theory.
• Networking or Unity ECS development experience.
• Online game and/or multiplayer development experience, including client/server development of game features.
• Technical Art pipeline experience, importing, optimizing, working with environment and character artists.
• Experience in game physics, game AI, game security, or netcode.
• Anime nerds, sci-fi buffs, game freaks, and fantasy geeks welcome!
