Do you enjoy learning new features and can easily transition from one codebase to another? Do people often see you as the person who can hop in on anything and deliver great shipping code? We’re looking for folks like you.

At Squanch Games, we make stuff that people love; games that we want to play ourselves. We make experiences that we would like to be totally immersed in and enjoy for hours at a time, as well as shorter, crazier experiences that would be great to play with a group of friends or possibly with stray homeless people that you invited in so you could feed and bathe them.

If you share in these values, come join us!

You are:

  • Quality Driven and Proactive
  • Supportive and Collaborative: You know that the best work comes from a team who trusts and respects each other. You strive to collaborate with others and don’t care whose ideas win. Best ideas win.
  • Flexible and Iterative
  • You’ve shipped a title or two prior: you probably have experience in game development, have worked on a variety of features, and are unafraid to ‘just look it up’
  • Curious and passionate: You read and/or play games most days. You know what’s going on in the world of games, and can’t wait to talk to others about it.

Requirements

You will:

  • Be a master of C++ and object oriented programming.
  • Have experience and be comfortable with a variety of gameplay features.
  • Be able to assess, prioritize, and estimate features.
  • Help push for quality and create usable tools / systems utilizing your knowledge of Unreal Engine 4. Must have 3-6 months experience working with Unreal in a professional environment.
  • Have a designer brain: You can support the design team with suggestions and knowledge of best practices in order to avoid unnecessary missteps.
  • Mentor and guide junior programmers
  • Be familiar with state-of-the-art game dev tech that will help keep Squanch leading the pack

Bonus Points:

  • Have shipped a game with Unreal Engine 4
  • Experience with development for a hardware platform besides PC: Either a game console or mobile
