Senior Game Programmer (KL)

2020 has not slowed us down, we're growing fast! This gives us the opportunity to look for a number of highly skilled Senior Programmers to join our thriving team. This unique opportunity will allow you to test and refine game-play features and systems throughout development as well as develop technical design specifications.
