Graduate Programmer

Are you an aspiring Game Programmer with solid C++ skills? Fancy working for one of the world's most recognised and established AAA studios? If the answer is "YES" then this could be the perfect opportunity for you!

Based in the beautiful Warwickshire countryside and a stone’s throw away from Royal Leamington Spa (or Silicon Spa as it has become known!), Codemasters continues to be at the forefront of British and world AAA game development and a leader in the Racing game genre.

Our purpose built Southam Studio is home to two of our well-known and received franchises, Dirt Rally and GRID and we are looking for a Graduate Programmer to join the award-winning GRID team. If making exciting gameplay features come to life excites you then this is the role for you as we have ambitious plans for this massively successful franchise!

For Codemasters, programming is all about achieving a level of high-octane interactivity which will deliver a satisfying and engaging dynamic to the player. With our Nemesis System at the heart of the racing action, every lap plays out differently from the last and coupled with the cinematic look and feel of the overall gameplay experience, represents a real opportunity and challenge for our gameplay programmers. With big plans for the future, this role represents a unique opportunity for a game programmer that wants to make an impact in how we continue advancing our gameplay mechanics for our next project and beyond.

Here's what we need you to be able to do:

• Work closely with the design team to plan code, produce technical designs and overviews and respond to feedback on your designs
• Write high quality code, following any standards and guidelines in place
• Participate in code reviews across features in your specialist area
• Keep the management team up to date with any problems and delays
• Test all code against the design ensuring it performs as required and performing tests as required
• Assist in finding and fixing bugs within your feature area
• Collaborate with your team and mentors to support good engineering practices

With an on-site pub (The Masters Arms!), bistro and fully kitted out (and free!) gym, the studio is a great place to work with and learn from some of the industry’s best, whilst maintaining a fun and productive environment.

We're a diverse and inclusive bunch too and we welcome applications from all programming talent right across the board. We make everyone welcome and we particularly welcome applications from women and people from under-represented demographics.
