• Delivering a stable quality product that the team is proud of by exemplifying robust API design methodologies along with high-quality C# and C++ coding practices.
• Refactoring existing code to be more efficient and maintainable, responding to user feedback and solving user issues with the codebase.

What we're looking for:

• Knowledge of native development on at least one platform, preferably console, with adaptability to add more platforms to your expertise.
• Empathy for the unique challenges game developers face building and maintaining rich experiences over multiple platforms.
• Experience contributing to cross-team projects from initiation to completion.

• Experience working with a small to medium size team.

You might also have:

• Knowledge of writing native plugins for Unity and/or experience with API design and asynchronous coding paradigms.
• Experience in development for multiple game consoles, mobile or desktop platforms and shipping cross-platform titles that also use platform-specific features when appropriate.
