You’ll be joining a collaborative team of engineers, designers, and artists who enjoy solving complex problems together.

We use a heavily customized version of Stingray, and our development is primarily in C++. The focus is on building gameplay systems that are reliable, scalable, and performant; particularly for multiplayer and live service environments. This is a hands-on role with plenty of room to take ownership and work on how our features and systems evolve.

Work with industry-standard tools for production tracking (e.g., Jira, Confluence) to keep work transparent and traceable.


Write and maintain documentation that makes systems, workflows, and decisions clear to the team.

What we’re looking for
Excellent C++ skills and deep experience in a game engine context.


5+ years of hands-on experience developing gameplay features and systems, especially for multiplayer games (shooters a strong plus).


Strong understanding of CPU architecture, memory, and performance trade-offs — able to explain concepts like CPU caches and their impact on real-world code.


Ability to create gameplay systems that support emergent interactions.


Familiarity with a broad range of development areas: gameplay, content creation, physics, animation, AI, and systems integration.


Strong foundation in 3D math (linear algebra, vectors, matrices).


One or more shipped titles in a C++ environment (custom engine or Unreal).


Experience with live service development and maintaining code post-launch.


Fluency in written and spoken English.

Nice-to-have (but not required)
Familiarity with ECS architectures.


Experience building developer tools or improving workflows.


Experience shipping on consoles like PS4/PS5 or Xbox Series X|S.


Comfortable with Git and modern development practices.

You’ll be a great fit if…
You enjoy solving hard problems and sharing what you learn.
