Game Programmer

We're looking for a Game Programmer to join us as we grow from our success with Chef Showdown on the Discord Activity platform, to develop brand new prosocial multiplayer games that will bring millions of players around the world together.

You'll be immersed in a creative, encouraging, and highly collaborative environment where your voice will be heard. You'll be involved in game design as well as coding, using feedback to build and iterate using a variety of technologies: our games run on the mobile & desktop web using the latest 3D tech.

We'll appreciate you for your great collaboration as much as your coding skills. You'll be responsible for creating game systems and features, and play a key part in deciding what our games should be. You'll work on the entire lifecycle of projects, from prototyping to live operations.

We welcome applications from candidates that don't have experience in our unusual tech stack but are excited to learn.

Your role:

• Code features & systems across all aspects of our games & tools, with a focus on crafting wonderful experiences for players


• Daily full-stack development in Typescript and PlayCanvas 3D engine & editor (we'll train you if you don't have experience) and other languages


• Collaborate within a cross-discipline team to design & build the best game possible


• Help other team members to problem solve & get the best out of the codebase
  
  Demonstrable experience of full-stack game programming commensurate with your experience level


• Experience of game engines & editors, such as Unity, Godot, Unreal, or PlayCanvas (which is what we use)


• A strong desire to learn, and excitement to get your hands on new technologies and solve interesting problems


• A love of collaborating, with the empathy and confidence required to give and take constructive feedback
