Senior Game Engineer

About the Company

We aim to provide an exemplary work environment, and seek well-rounded people — creative, industrious and kind — to join our team.

We desire to increase our diversity, and believe that the more our team resembles the global community of players, the better we’ll be able to understand and meet their needs.

We are committed to providing a workplace free of discrimination and harassment, where people are judged on merit.

Our development philosophy is focused on sustaining developer happiness, maximizing iteration speed, and learning from player feedback. We know from experience it is sensible to ship games without crunch-time and have done so successfully, repeatedly.

Our team is composed of veteran developers with key contributions to the development of Warcraft, Diablo, StarCraft, Guild Wars and Magic: Arena. We seek team members who are enjoyable to work with and who will enhance our efforts, as we believe creating great games is a group endeavor made better with trust between teammates.

We aim to build games that will be cultural touchstones, the measure by which other games are judged. We seek remarkable people to join our team, and offer a comprehensive compensation package.

About the Role

The role of a gameplay engineer switches from creating experimental prototypes to hardening systems for the reliability, scalability and performance required when millions of gamers are playing online together. Gameplay engineers breathe life into fragile design notions and add their own ideas and improvements.

We're looking for someone who enjoys the range of tasks required to bring a game to life, from client-side engineering (graphics, resource management and user-interface) to game-server engineering (game systems creation, online services and player state-management). We seek someone who cares about providing the best possible experience for players.

At our studio you'll be involved in the entire life-cycle of feature development, from design & architecture to implementation & operationalization, from game client to game services, and from user interface to back end.

We're interested in folks with good software engineering skills and a player-first approach to development. We don't expect candidates to know everything, and so provide training and an educational stipend. What we don't know, we can learn together.

While we've already started on the game there is more we aim to accomplish together -- come join us!
