Join to apply for the Software Engineer role at Bloxd

We’re a profitable video game start-up in London with 8 million+ monthly players and we’re hiring engineers for our 6-person founding team.

About us

Creating games with editable worlds usually takes 20k+ lines of well-optimised code and years of development. Bloxd gives you editable worlds in 5 lines of code, within 5 minutes. You can play our games at bloxd.io.

About you

You’re passionate about gaming and excited by the prospect of building great games that bring millions together. You have strong engineering fundamentals and a strong product sense, being happy to wear many hats (game design, UI/UX, community management), and iterate quickly on a live product whilst learning from user feedback.

What we’re looking for

• 1 to 4 years of professional experience in software engineering, game engine development, or game development. This can include revenue-generating side projects and internships.
• Experience developing games or game engines either through work or as side projects.

Things you could work on in your first 2 months:

• Create and manage your own game
• Develop new gameplay systems inside existing games
• Build new engine features to be used by other game developers
• Profile and optimise performance
• Develop an in-game item marketplace
• Improve our partner implementations (E.g. CrazyGames, Discord Activities)

Our tech

We have a TypeScript-first codebase, and use a combination of React, WebGL, and Node. This tech allows us to deliver Bloxd in an incredibly accessible way, and provides a great developer experience. You’ll need to be happy to pick these tools up if you’re not already familiar with them.

• 5% pension match on qualifying earnings
• A permanent desk in our King’s Cross office
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays
