638ENG: Guildford: England: GAME ENGINE PROGRAMMER
Game Engine Developer - Derby, UK Salary negotiable. You've been working for quite a while in the games industry, and you're looking for a new challenge. You've worked on many a game - some successful; some maybe less so - and now you know the territory. You're at the stage that you KNOW how it should be done, and you'd do it yourself given the time, support, tools, pizzas and ten pairs of hands. Well, it's probably time to come and talk to us. We have other like-minded engineers who are trying to solve the same problems as you. We have the support and the tools – we'll even occasionally stump up for pizzas – though we can't help with the hands. The team are working on new ideas, new methods and new technology for game development. This role will expose you to our entire set of technology, give you access to the thinking of a large segment of the games industry, and give you the chance to be at the cutting edge with respect to hardware. Game Engine development is probably the most creative technical environment in the games industry. It is dynamic, stable and, above all, flexible. If you are the right person for this role, we will do everything to help you succeed.

Being smart enough to play to other people's strengths. Personal Attributes · Intelligent and open minded – You'll need to be sharp, as well as being willing to take other people's views on board. · A good communicator – This is key; there are huge cross dependencies in what we do. Someone who can express their desires, hopes and needs will be able to get the best from this role. · Hands-on – Have you been known to say ‘If you want something doing, do it yourself?' and rolled up your sleeves and done it? THAT is the mentality we require. A doer, not a witness. Experience / Skills Considered Relevant: · Mastery of C++ required. Mastery of C significant advantage. · Must be able to show significant experience in the games industry. · Experience working as a senior member of a successful internal R&D team would be a significant advantage. · Having worked as the lead on a successful game or franchise would be a bonus. · Demonstrable understanding of the game development process from design to release works from a technical standpoint is a significant advantage. · Mastery of at least one platform (DirectX 9, PlayStation 2, Xbox, GAMECUBE) is expected. · Wide technical knowledge is essential.
