Why You: 

You have extensive experience as a Gameplay programmer and a passion for game development. You are a versatile, self-starter with a strong background in Unity and C#. You excel in various areas, including game logic and AI. While over 5 years of experience is preferred, we would accept exceptional talented applications with less experience, too.

Strong programming skills: source control, code architecture, debugging, testing, and performance optimization.
Essential soft skills: problem-solving, teamwork, communication, organization, time management, self-motivation, and a desire to learn.
A passion for games!

Not essential, but it helps if you have:

Experience and interest in AI.
Deep experience with performance optimisation.
Experience with console development.
History of shipped high quality games.
3D graphics and rendering knowledge.

Our Commitment to Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging: 

We want people of all backgrounds to see themselves represented and included in our work, so we actively seek to diversify our team and bring more voices to the table. All applicants are welcome!

As an employer we aim to create a diverse and inclusive environment that actively encourages the development and advancement of underrepresented groups, whilst promoting diversity of thought and experience.
