• Write and maintain clear technical documentation describing system behavior, interfaces, dependencies, and constraints to support collaboration and long-term maintainability.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of game engine or gameplay engineering experience, with experience both shipping and supporting live service games.
• Familiarity with popular game engines (Godot, Unity, Unreal).
• Experience optimizing performance of systems.
• A mindset focused on player experience at massive scales.
• Due to federal contract requirements, U.S. Citizenship is mandatory for this position.
