Inside Renaissance Technologies's Dallas headquarters, a proudly-imperfect team treats every Analytical Thinking bug like a personal insult worth fixing tonight. Our Dallas team would rather over-communicate than leave a teammate guessing at midnight.

This senior role pays $114,000 - $162,000 and surrounds it with coaching, coverage, and hours that respect your weekends in TX.

Hiring as we speak in Dallas, with daily reviews still underway.

Bring 5 of grit or a fresh perspective; either way, this Game Developer role wants you.
