Develop core gameplay systems - combat, exploration, inventory, and more
Polish them, refine them, make them feel good
Continuously adapt code in response to gameplay feedback
Work closely with the core programming, game designers, and tools team
Understand and contribute to the project as a whole
Use Unreal Engine 4, Jira, and Confluence
Manage your workload and work hours in consultation with the wider team

3+ years game programming or relevant game development experience
Ideally a published game built with Unreal Engine
Strong understanding of Unreal Engine Blueprints
Familiar with C++ implementation in Unreal Engine 4
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
Tertiary qualification (Computer Science, Software Engineering, or similar) or equivalent industry experience

The position is full-time, permanent, and based in Auckland with flexible working conditions. Assistance is provided for relocation & support for obtaining a visa.
We value diverse teams. Regardless of disability, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or any other aspect of your culture or identity, you have an important role to play in our team.
