Join to apply for the Engineering Generalist role at Blind Squirrel Games

Blind Squirrel Games (BSG) is a proud, independent studio that joins forces with developers and publishers seeking an innovative partner in creating quality games. At BSG, people are our purpose, so we prioritize an inquisitive, proactive, and collaborative work environment for all our squirrels. We currently have studio locations in Irvine, California; Austin, Texas; Auckland, New Zealand, and a new campus in Manizales, Colombia!

You have a solid programming skillset but are ready to challenge yourself by starting to take on more responsibilities and larger projects within your specialization. You may have worn a couple of different hats during your early years in the industry, but you've narrowed down your focus and are fixed on harnessing what you've learned and what you will learn to launch your career as a Generalist Engineer.

You are collaborative, open-minded, and have an overall pleasant disposition. You can take direction and feedback, are not afraid to ask questions, and understand the value of autonomous work.

  • 1+ year of professional or independent video game experience
  • Create high-performance, robust, maintainable code in a cross-platform environment
  • Evaluate existing technology architectures

  • Work with external development partners
  • Adhere to team coding standards and practice
