Do you want to take part in creating the game of a lifetime?
At Mainframe we are building a living world that people will call their home for years and hopefully decades. This world lives in the cloud and will through the years of its operations, become the setting for complex social drama that involves potentially millions of people around the clock and around the world.
Your mission and responsibilities:
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to be an essential part of the game development team at Mainframe, developing a yet to be announced cloud native MMO game.
You will be one of the stakeholders in animation tech and implementation of new animation systems, working closely with gameplay and animation teams delivering state of the art character animations, responsible for technical designs and development of animation pipelines.
You will implement systems for AI behaviors and PvE encounters, working closely with the design team to create a robust and scalable foundation for PvE gameplay and future content.
- You will implement and maintain scaling and network optimized player character animation solutions and take the ownership of character animation tech
- You will design and implement animation solutions for large scale entities with complex physics requirements
- You will evaluate and prototype motion matching as a solution for player character locomotion animations
Your role is based preferably in Finland, Iceland or France, where we have our offices. We are open to discussing remote work but, we prefer to stay in the time zones between Helsinki and Reykjavik. We believe in good work-life balance and working where you are most productive.
Some success indicators for your role:
- You are familiar with the evolution of animation techniques, especially motion matching which our current animation system is based on.
- Strong C++ programming and debugging skills.
- You have good communication skills and you feel comfortable working with multiple stakeholders, understanding their needs as well as communicating your solutions.
- Unreal Engine and multiplayer experience a great plus.
About Mainframe:
We have a human-friendly, equal-opportunity workplace that values collaboration, independence, and empathy.
We have offices in Helsinki, Reykjavik and Paris - but we work where we are most productive - for many of us that means remotely from home. All our offices are centrally located and we offer you top of the line work conditions wherever you work.
We are a well funded pan-Nordic start-up founded in 2019. We are working on a project we love: creating a cloud-native MMO, a social sandbox, accessible on any screen and offering new ways of playing with our friends. Joining us now is an opportunity to make an impact on the game we develop and the company culture very early on.
