Our Purpose

Improbable believes in a future where new, virtual worlds will augment human experience and become as meaningful, lasting and rich as the physical world. We call this the Multiversal Self and believe games are the basis of the future virtual worlds.

Developers face a variety of risks in game development – from game design to production speed to launch scale. With SpatialOS, we aim to offer the next generation game development technology that helps reduce those risks and enables innovation that is vital to the future of games.

We believe China is leading the world in gaming, and that the next generation of game worlds will be developed by the prosperous Chinese Game Development Community. We are looking for talented individuals to join our Shanghai Office, our core hub and headquarters for APAC Operations.

Your Mission

To that end, we are building a team at our Shanghai location with expertise in network programming on mobile platforms to provide a performant mobile integration and the best possible developer experience. We’re seeking talented engineers who’ve shipped products on Android and IOS platforms and understand the technical challenges faced by game developers. As a Network Programmer in the Mobile Team at Improbable, you’ll be responsible for designing, building, and supporting the networking technologies our customers use in their games. This includes ensuring the highest quality experience on IOS and Android mobile devices. The Mobile team guarantees SpatialOS GDKs are compatible with supported versions of Android and IOS and addresses any technical issues such as: performance, library compatibility, Unreal and Unity Engine integration.
