What We Need:
You spend a quarter of your time reading cool papers on the latest tech, half your time writing code and all of your time thinking about ways to make development faster, smoother and smarter. And since you only have so much time in a day, why waste your time working somewhere that isn’t full of similarly driven, super-smart, like-minded people in an environment entirely conducive to innovation and the freedom to make it all happen?  

Well, we’ve got the place for you here. You’ve got 10 years of professional experience as a Senior or Lead Software Engineer. You’ve shipped enough quality videogames that you’re interested in the how, not just the what, and you’ve been through the development cycle enough times that you know better than to write a line of code without thinking ahead. You have a solid understanding of C++, you get the difference between good code and bad code and you love designing and writing data-driven flexible systems because you hate fixing bugs and you hate writing the same thing twice. And you’ve always been the kind of engineer who’s open to helping others learn from your bug-squashing-performance-optimizing-game-shipping all around deep sage wisdom. Bottom line, you love games and you love building engines.  

Come bring all of that experience and passion and join an elite group of brilliant people who continue to grow perennially amazing franchises like NBA 2K at one of the world’s most consistently successful developers as we expand into new markets and genres throughout the world.
