  • Write clean, maintainable code for stable and shippable builds.
  • Work across multiple game projects as needed.
• Feature Development:
  • Translate design concepts and creative direction into playable mechanics and systems.
  • Take ownership of features from initial prototypes through polished implementation.
  • Build gameplay interactions, systems, and supporting functionality.

  • Identify and resolve bugs, performance issues, and technical debt.
  • Optimize game systems and builds for target platforms.
  • Investigate technical issues and deliver reliable fixes.
• Technical Documentation:
  • Document game systems, scripts, and architecture decisions.
  • Create clear documentation that allows other team members to understand and maintain your work.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration:
  • Work closely with designers and artists to align technical implementation with creative direction.
  • Communicate progress, technical decisions, and blockers clearly.
  • Participate in focused team discussions and async collaboration.

Qualifications

• Hands-on professional or portfolio experience developing games in both Unity and Godot.
• Strong C# experience with Unity.
• Experience with GDScript or C# in Godot.
• Shipped games or strong portfolio projects demonstrating your development experience.
• Understanding of game architecture, including:
  • State machines

• Experience using Git and collaborative branching workflows.
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills.
• Clear written English communication for technical discussions and documentation.

Typical Day

You’ll spend most of your day focused on active game development across one or more projects. You may build a new mechanic in Godot, review how it fits into existing systems, document your approach, or switch to a Unity project to investigate and fix a technical issue.

You’ll collaborate with designers and artists through written updates and focused check-ins while maintaining a strong focus on hands-on development.
