We are looking for a highly skilled C++ Software Engineer to join our talented team in developing a game for PC, VR, Mobile and console platforms. We’re looking for an individual that has strong spatial maths skills and experience working at a low level with transformations and matrices in a 3D space. You will help bring our games to the next level by joining a team that holds the player’s experience at the core of its mission.
If you enjoy working in a scaling environment where growth opportunities abound then this is a great opportunity to carve your own niche.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Proven experience in understanding and writing effective C++ code.
• Experience in all parts of a software life cycle
• Solid understanding of math used for transforming objects in 3D space
• Clear communication skills and enjoy working with peers from art, animation, and audio team.
• Creative, motivated, focused, and passionate about making gorgeous games
• The ability to prioritise and work on multiple tasks simultaneously and manage competing priorities
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to work independently to get the job done without day-to-day direction
• Think on their feet and respond quickly to changing requirements
• Tackle problems as they arise and compose solid solutions with an eye for the long term health of the codebase
• Experience with modern rendering engines, whether writing them or customising them - all the way from low-level graphics APIs to writing complex shaders and optimising draw calls.
