Programmer
Unit 2 Games
Unit 2 Games is an award-winning, Facebook-owned games studio based in Leamington Spa, UK. We were formed in 2017 to build Crayta - our dream to make game creation accessible to anyone and everyone.
We've won GamesIndustry.biz's Best Places to Work Award for the last two years, and we'd love to welcome more people to the team.
Most of us are still working remotely because of the ongoing Covid pandemic, and we share Facebook's vision for a fully connected metaverse future where that becomes even easier and more common. In the meantime though, while we all help to shape that future, we'd prefer to see most people (especially less senior members of staff) in the office for at least some of the week, when it's safe to do so. However, we are still open to discussing long-term remote working for highly experienced candidates in senior positions.
We are looking for a Programmer with a passion for games and some relevant industry experience, to join our outstanding team in Leamington Spa, UK. Strong communication and interpersonal skills are a must, as is a solid foundation in C++ and a willingness to learn.
This is an exceptional opportunity to work alongside a team of industry veterans on a new IP.
Responsibilities
- Work with the technical team to design and own systems in a multiplayer environment using C++ within Unreal Engine 4, on a new platform.
- Drive improvements throughout the codebase alongside the rest of the technical team.
- Support the Content team developing scripts using Lua.
Requirements
- Proactive individual with a can-do attitude.
- Good C++ programming skills, comfortable coding and debugging systems.
- Ability to write, modify and maintain Unreal Engine compliant C++ and game architecture systems.
- Familiarity with version control, continuous integration, bug tracking and code review systems.
- Ability to work collaboratively with a team of mixed disciplines, with good verbal and written communication skills.
- Ability to understand and implement algorithms to specification.
- Solid foundation in maths, particularly 3D geometry.
- Basic understanding of scripting languages (e.g. Lua/Python).
Desirable
- Track record of debugging, performance analysis and optimisation in games development.
- Experience using Unreal Engine 4.
- Experience applying Automated Testing with Unit and Integration tests.
- Familiarity with Mobile and Console platforms.
- Familiarity with the constraints of developing networked games.
- Experience developing Games As A Service.
- Project experience using C# or Python to build or maintain tools.
- Familiarity with building or updating mods for released games.
- Familiarity with UGC games (e.g. Roblox, Dreams, Garry’s Mod).
