• Operate hands-on with our in-house Apex Engine and its visual scripting editor
• Implement features & content based on designs
• Scripting events, experiences, and systems in open-worlds

Who you are

• You understand what it means to ship a game, having shipped at least 3 titles, or a minimum of 1 AAA title.
• You can ramp up on new engines and tools quickly, leveraging your experience working across multiple tool sets rather than deep specialization in a single engine or tool.
• You are a generalist at heart. Collaborative, eager to enable others, and comfortable bridging disciplines and coordinating across diverse teams to fill gaps wherever needed.
• You are proficient with game engine editors and scripting languages.
• You are capable of excelling in challenging situations while staying focused on project goals.
