Intermediate Game Programmer (Fixed term, full time)

Get AI-powered advice on this job and more exclusive features.

Come work in a positive, inclusive environment with a talented team of programmers, designers and artists creating exceptional mobile games. We are looking for an intermediate level programmer, with experience working in mobile games.

Skills & Experience

Essential Skills :

  • Solid, practical programming skills.
  • 2+ years experience employed in a programming role.
  • Proven game or app creation experience – this is a prerequisite to applying (send us something we can use or play).
  • Must have experience developing for mobile with Unity.
  • Must know how to update SDKs.
  • Strong C# skills.
  • Must work well on a team.
  • Experience using Git, or other CVS.
  • Initiative to self‑manage and ensure your time is being used in the most efficient way possible to produce fun experiences for end users.
  • Great communication and teamwork.

Preferred :

  • Tertiary degree in Computer or Information Science.
  • Some experience developing with Cocos2d-x, C++, Lua would be of benefit (but is not expected) due to older products in our portfolio.
  • Responsibilities

  • Contribute clean, efficient code in a collaborative environment while staying on schedule.
  • Comfortable giving and receiving feedback – confident in your work but open to learning. You take input seriously and respond thoughtfully.
  • Ask questions when needed. Stay curious and proactive while working independently.
  • Have a reputation for trusted code. Team members rely on the components you build to perform reliably.
  • Provide clear documentation for complex mobile systems.
  • Demonstrate strong proficiency in programming languages relevant to the development environment, such as C#.
  • Understand the stakes of live products. One small bug can have a major impact, so test thoroughly before pushing to master.
  • Balance technical excellence with player experience. You care about clean architecture and modern practices, but never at the expense of gameplay.
  • Show competence in mobile SDK implementation, platform build systems, and third‑party tech such as Firebase, Singular, Google Play Services, Ironsource, GameKit, FMOD, and many more.
  • Take initiative in your own upskilling and professional development.
  • Communicate effectively within the team and with the lead programmer or tech lead.
  • Contribute ideas and lead discussions during concept development for new mechanics and products.
  • Demonstrate competence in mobile project setup and architecture, with support from senior programmers when needed.
  • Join Us
