Job description

Job Description:

At SMG, we turn to our patented DAFUZ system to create award winning titles including LEGO Party! Moving Out, Thumb Drift, and One More Line. We love building fun first games and we don’t take ourselves too seriously. We are seeking an experienced Senior Developer to work with us on new titles until the end of 2028. This is for someone who loves advanced engine code and diligently crafted gameplay architecture. You possess a mastery of C# and Unity and are comfortable in working in a collaborative idea space where constructive feedback is an important part of the creative process. We offer remote working, but have offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide you could work from depending on you having full Australian working rights. If you're on top of your game (or would like to be) and care about your work, then let’s talk.

The headlines:
  • Experience and understanding of systems, architecture and optimisation
  • Experience working in a development team with peer-reviewed code
  • Networking/Multiplayer experience is a strong bonus, e.g. low-latency high-action netcode
  • Shipped games (as part of a company or solo)
What’s in it for you:
  • The opportunity to give back with dedicated volunteer leave and our whole-company event, One Day for Change
  • 5 weeks annual leave after 2 years of service
  • 3 whole company Wellness days off per year for you to switch off and take your day, your way
  • Career Development and Learning & Development opportunities, including access to our global online Dentsu University
Inclusivity and Diversity:

Our diverse and inclusive culture enables our employees to bring their whole selves to work and be proud of doing so. For us, this is the foundation for great innovation which, in turn, generates better outcomes for our people, partners and communities. This is why we encourage applications from people with disabilities, and of all ages, nationalities, backgrounds and cultures.
