Programmer

at  HYPER LUMINAL GAMES

Joining a company and a team in the games industry is exciting and daunting in equal measure! Here at Hyper Luminal there is no ‘deep end’ to drop you into, you will be supported by the team from minute one. There are no bad questions on your learning journey to improving your skills and creating great work; we have your back.
We have so many different projects and genres that we are sure we have something that fits you perfectly! It will be engaging and fun; development and creativity are the essence of having fun. We don’t stifle creativity; in fact, we continuously encourage it. You won’t be working in a cubicle and there’s no expectation of silence; engage and interact as much as you like!
Experiencing ‘ownership’ of a particular part of your project or work is critical. At Hyper Luminal we will make sure that you are getting as much satisfaction from not only learning something new, but ‘bossing’ it in a way that means you are building a great foundation of experience and development knowledge. Although; we won’t give you too much too soon, pacing is key to learning. When you’ve nailed a component of your project, it will be recognised; the studio understands how important recognition is.
You are encouraged to be as good as you can be and there are systems in place within the studio to support you to do just that. Incremental improvement is our aim and all team members are involved in what and how that evolves.
If this feels like a place where you can thrive and grow, with the team, the projects and the studio, then apply for this position and let’s explore working together!
