• Integrate all elements of the game, including engine, gameplay, user interface, graphics/animations and sound
• Contribute to the game’s design specifications and technical specifications
• Work with the team to improve the production process and help in establishing best-practices
• Work alongside colleagues from all the other departments of the game team (2d and 3d graphic designers, game and level designers, the backend team)

How are you going to work and when can you start?

• The sooner you can start, the better! Of course, if you have a notice period, we will wait for you

What will happen to you on the first day and in the first 3 months?

• On your first day, we will introduce you to everyone on the team. The game’s producer will tell you more details you about the game you will be working on, while the lead programmer will tell you what the dev team is currently working on.
• Also on the first day you will receive your onboarding plan, which gives you details about the things you will be doing and what’s expected of you over the next 3 months
• Right from the start you will also find out who will be your assigned buddy, the colleague who will help you during your first few months to have a great time here. You can ask him anything at any time, be it things about the project or about what’s the best place to eat at in the area ( there are many cool places to eat at nearby)
• During your trial period, we will continue to support you and give you feedback on your work. And of course, we’d love it if you also shared your opinion and suggestions with us.

Additional Information

What will happen when you apply?

You can apply with your English or Hungarian CV. We will look at what projects and technologies you have worked on so far.

If you have worked on your own on a game or applications, send us your link and we will be happy to check it out!

No cover letter is required. But if you usually play mobile, you can write down what :-)

At Gameloft, we believe in diversity, so no applicant will be discriminated against based on criteria such as gender, age, gender identity, religion, nationality, etc ...

Your CV will be reviewed by our lead programmers, and if they find it relevant, our one of our colleagues from HR will contact you.

Next you will come over to our studio and take a test made out of a practical C# exercise that can be completed in approx. 4 hours, followed by a chat with one of our HR colleagues and another one with one of our lead programmers. They will give you specific details about the job and you can ask them anything you are interested in knowing about working here. As you will be in our studio, you will have a chance to look into the Gameloft environment and atmosphere as well.

The whole process usually takes 1.5 weeks, but of course it depends on how fast you can come to us.

If the test fails, we will notify you within 1-2 days. You will certainly receive feedback from us about the process, but you can also track the status of your application through our application system.

Is Work From Home an option?

We are currently working on implementing this system and we expect to have the pilot program running in the next few months, but if that's the only solution to a problem, we're not afraid to already use it.

Is it mandatory to play mobile games?

This is not mandatory, but playing mobile games can help you a lot when we’re brainstorming together about how to improve our games.

My English is poor, do I have a chance to get hired?

If you commit to bringing your English level to an acceptable level quickly, yes. English is useful for you both while working (for example most of our documentation is in English) and while communicating with our foreign colleagues. The company has an weekly English course, so it's up to you to improve your language skills.

Am I going to university. Can I go to lectures from time to time?

We are offering full-time jobs, but we can be flexible within certain limits. Several of our colleagues have done this already ( working here while attending university), so feel free to apply and we're happy to discuss the details!
