Games Software Design Engineer

Would you like to work on truly original games? Tired of sports, war, and car games? We've recently assembled a group of Developers and Designers who are working on the next great game, and we need a couple of Programmers that can jump in to a couple of problematic systems and work on improving the workflow for our Artists and Designers, and working on a highly polished in-game UI. This is an excellent chance to influence the development of future games while getting unique experience delivering work that is first party quality.

This is a position where you will be exposed to multiple different components of internal tools, as well as working on the user interface together with Artists and Designers. You will need to be able to jump in to different parts of a large codebase, and juggle multiple tasks, so flexibility is important. You will be working together with multiple other Programmers, and regularly with Designers and Artists, as well as with the test teams. You also need to have attention to detail, to put an extra layer of improvement on the user-facing features, and write high quality code.
