What We Need

Our studio in Vancouver is seeking a UI Software Engineer to join our development team in working on a new AAA Sports game.

  • A solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and 3D math.
  • A commitment to writing clean, well-documented, and efficient code, paired with the ability to clearly communicate technical concepts to non-technical partners (Art, Design, Production).
