SENIOR ENGINEERS AT BSG...

You have intimate knowledge of the game development pipeline and have evolved your skillset and techniques to align with the wisdom you've gained by working on numerous AAA titles. You are recognized as a reliable developer with the chops to get the job done but the self-actualization to know when to seek feedback. You laugh in the face of a challenge because you already set high expectations for yourself and are confident in your ability to deliver high-quality work the first time around.

Although your influence is essential to the department's success and you provide some mentorship to junior developers, coding is your bread and butter. You are a master of independent work but recognize the power behind collaboration so you haven't forgotten how to be a team player.

Responsibilities

  1. Deploy, evaluate performance, optimize and test software on PC and console platforms
  2. Create high-performance, robust, maintainable code in a cross-platform environment
  3. Drive the evaluation and documentation of existing technology and engines
  4. Adapt engineering solutions to utilize the latest console APIs
  5. Teach and mentor junior and mid-level engineers on relevant best practices and modern technologies
  6. Other relevant duties and responsibilities as assigned to help complete company or department objectives
