Senior Software Engineer (client side)

Description

WHO WE ARE

Carbonated is a games studio based in El Segundo, CA and only a 15 minute walk to the beach. The company was founded in 2015 by industry veterans who’ve built and run some of the biggest games in the world at companies like EA, Sony, Zynga and Blizzard. Our aspiration is to build a company where people want to spend their entire careers.

Our culture is largely based around a shared love of playing and building games as well as continuously learning and experimenting together. Unsurprisingly, we're focused on folks who share our key values:

• Talent (you're a subject matter expert and amazing individual contributor!)

• Attitude (you want to win! sure, experience is important, but that’s only part of what makes a great contributor, great)

• Willingness to try new (and sometimes scary) things (so we can ship something we're all proud of!)

Right now we’re fortunate enough to be working on our dream game, a real-time social pvp battler (think if The Division had a baby with Eve Online) with a few fun twists!
