Job summary

Code Metal is seeking a Physics Programmer to build the core C++ simulation runtime for a next-generation wargaming platform. You will work on an engine that handles physics, AI, sensors, and environmental models across a broad system stack, from ECS to scheduling and memory management.

Ideal candidates ship real-time C++ systems with strong architectural influence, and have experience in performance-constrained environments and scalable engine design.

Qualifications

• Extensive professional C++ development experience in production software.
• Experience shipping a commercial game, engine, or real-time product.
• Ownership of core engine systems, not just gameplay features.
• Experience building or extending a physics engine, ECS, or runtime.
• Strong knowledge of data-oriented design, memory layout, and performance-sensitive data structures.

Responsibilities

• Architect and implement the core C++ runtime for the wargaming platform.
• Own engine structure, performance, and long-term health of the codebase.
• Design and evolve an ECS for large numbers of sim entities.
• Build data-oriented storage, lifecycle, queries, and scheduling.
• Define engine interfaces for physics, AI, sensors, weapons, and behavior models.
• Create stable extension points for model developers to add capabilities.
• Design simulation loops with deterministic replay and time stepping.
