lavori da Junior Developer in località United States

Hello, we’re Glowmade! We’re a small, exciting company and the goal of our games is to unlock people's imagination and help them express themselves in wonderful, fun ways. Right now we’re busy building a new multiplayer cooperative game with an ambitious creative wrapper around it. We can’t say too much, but if you can imagine Jim Henson’s Labyrinth mashed up with Wrestlemania, then you’ll be on the right track!

This is an opportunity to play a crucial role in our expanding team. You’ll be working closely with the engine team as you understand and build upon our custom in-house technology, as well as the wider development team, supporting internal tool and feature development, optimisation and compatibility. You will be joining at a critical stage of the project with the opportunity to make a tangible impact on the project.

From day one we would like you to...

1. Enthusiastically jump into our existing codebase, improving key developer tool and pipeline features
2. Build relationships with the users of the engine - the team - to understand how to help them achieve their goals
3. Work closely with Jonathan and Oscar, our principal engine programmers, to more fully expose the capabilities of the engine to the rest of the team in a user-friendly way

3. Pivotal to the success of the game, having specced and delivered key tooling and pipeline technology

The ideal candidate would…

1. Care about code quality and robustness, but not to the detriment of the end goal: delivering the game.
2. Know lots about performance tuning and optimisation
3. Come armed with a strong technical background, where your intuition to the ‘what’ is backed up by the ‘why’.
4. Show willingness to do all the things, in order to Get Them Done.
5. Be at C++ Level: Brilliant, but not so Brilliant you use template metaprogramming, traits and std::range all the time.

Advantageous qualities

1. Shipped a game as part of a team
2. Experience delivering a cross-platform project
3. Not super-fussed about Object Oriented design

This is an opportunity for you to make a significant contribution not only to the game but to our team and the company. Everyone at Glowmade has a voice, and it’s important to us that you feel empowered and are given the time and space to use it.
