Senior Gameplay Engineer C++ (all genders)

at  gamigo group

To enhance our team at our location in Hamburg, GE, Austin, US or Cebu, PH at the earliest opportunity, we are looking for a Senior Gameplay Engineer C++ (all genders).
Are you fascinated about online games as a player as well as about their technical aspects in client/server interaction, data structures and game mechanics?
Would you like to improve and develop an existing massive multiplayer game in cooperation with a team?
We are looking for a C++ developer to join the team around one of our major client MMO games.
You should have a good understanding of 3rd party code even though almost undocumented and you should not be afraid to take over the development of a partially 10-year-old code base. We are looking for someone who can fix problems and create great new features.
Your theoretical knowledge of technologies and design patterns is less important to us than your abilities to develop practical solutions. We would like to see some examples of your creations and to know more about your motivation to develop and improve a game.
