Core Systems Engineer | Console Development

We are extending our team focused on building the tech for our next ambitious project. The project is our own original IP and we are looking for Core systems Engineer who shares our values and passion for creating the best games possible.

Sharkmob's crew has high ambitions, so we value smart decisions, creativity, and passion for the craft. If you consider yourself to be a skilled Coder that thrives in close collaborations with others - then we might be the next challenge you're looking for.

Why is this a great time to join Sharkmob?

"The projects will face a lot of interesting challenges when it comes to world-building, pipelines, streaming, and performance - I can't wait to take them on!" - Johan Bernhardsson, Associate Technical Director on our second project.

We are working with UE5, but while it is a feature-rich and established engine, our games require something more. Your task would be to make the game able to run smoothly on consoles, and collaborate with several teams so features and content work out effectively on Playstation and Xbox.

Desired experience and skills:

• Great C++ programmer.
• Shipped at least one game on consoles.
• A good understanding of how to design, implement, and work in a feature-rich game engine.
• A solid understanding of profiling and optimization for speed and memory.
• An understanding of how to run tasks concurrently safely and efficiently.
• Driven by supporting the whole team and disciplines.
• A true collaborative spirit - who ensures smooth and efficient communication between disciplines.

That little extra:

• Game engine or renderer development experience.
• Experience working with Unreal Engine 4 and/or 5.
• Deep understanding of concurrency and how to optimize it, both on the CPU and GPU.
• Knowledgeable of how modern rendering pipelines and techniques work.

This a permanent position based in Malmö, Sweden, and open to all applicants intending to relocate as soon as possible.
