Requisition ID:

Job Description:

As a Tools Engineer you will be a crucial part of the development team. You will collaborate with other tools engineers and other teams to deliver the AAA-quality workflows we use to assemble, craft, tune, troubleshoot, and support our games. Along the way, you’ll learn new tech, new techniques, and new ways of thinking about techno-creative problems.

As you work with your fellow tools engineers to balance frequently changing priorities, the core of your work will have you:

• Collaborating closely with artists, designers, and other engineering teams to support content creation, engine integration, build pipelines, and more
• Drawing mockups, participating in design discussions, and gathering feedback from content creators and other developers to make sure they’re getting what they need
• Contribute to and help shape shared codebases by promoting standards for code, testing, documentation, and more

Requirements

We’re looking for developers with strong fundamentals in software and computing, including an understanding of object-oriented design and development as well as engineering principles that promote long-lasting, adaptable, maintainable software. You will need:

• A bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related discipline, or a few years of professional software engineering experience
• Proficiency in managed languages in the Microsoft .NET Framework: C# 5.0+ is preferred, and experience in C, C++, or other unmanaged languages is a plus
• Experience creating GUI-driven desktop productivity software with an emphasis on usability and architectural patterns (e.g. MVVM); WPF experience is strongly desired, and skill in other GUI toolkits like WinForms is a plus
• Recent experience using debugging tools, such as those provided by Visual Studio or similar IDEs
• You need strong verbal communication skills that will help you collaborate closely with the tools' users and discover what they need; great candidates will be able to provide examples of technical writing, too

Knowledge of packages like 3ds Max and Maya, and familiarity with common scripting languages such as Python are a plus, but not required.

COVID-19 Hiring Update: We’ve transitioned to a work-from-home model and we’re continuing to interview and hire during this time. This role is expected to begin as a remote position. We understand each person’s circumstances may be unique and will work with you to explore possible interim options.
