Doborog Games is looking for an experienced Gameplay Engineer to join our team and work on our upcoming robot-laser-sword fighting game, Clone Drone VR!

What we're looking for:

• A few years of professional experience as an engineer in games.
• Mastery of Unity and C# development.
• Experience with source control.
• Knowledge of software design patterns and data structures. A passion for writing code that is simple, powerful, clean and easy to work with.
• Ability to work in a self-directed way, breaking down high level tasks into a concrete action plan, owning the delivery of features from start to finish.
• Knowledge of Physics and 3D math, ability to make Unity rigidbodies bend to your will in ways that are controlled, delightful and performant. You're the person who knows what a Quaternion is.

Responsibilities:

• Taking the lead on implementing big new gameplay features.
• Iterating on features based on feedback from the project’s Game Designer.
• Working within an existing codebase, striking a good balance between following the established design patterns and improving the architecture in positive new directions.
• Profiling the game’s performance and improving it where needed.
• Working with 3D artists to integrate beautiful new art into the game.
• Coordinate with other team members about your work, updating the status of your tasks. Communicate around progress and timelines in a thoughtful way that lets us adjust scope and deadlines rather than work hours.

Nice to have (but not required):

• An interest in game design
• Experience with VR
• An appreciation for game feel
• Experience with netcode
• Tech art or shader knowledge

Working with us:

Our team is fully remote. Candidates should be able to accommodate at least a three-hour daily overlap with the U.S. Pacific Timezone to enable synchronous design collaboration. We are a small core team of 7 (4 full-time) and as a studio we value:

• openness and rapid iteration - we’re often livestreaming our development, sharing clips of progress on our TikTok, and providing Early Access builds to our community for visibility and feedback.
• long-term happiness - we don't crunch, and we do our best to create an environment that values your long-term happiness over surprise deadlines.
• reflection and growth - we regularly hold retrospectives to reflect on what’s gone well and where we can improve, and celebrate team members’ wins.
• learning new things and making games! - our team loves prototyping and learning new things, and we regularly hold week-long game jams where team members can work on anything they’d like, whether it’s making a game to put on itch.io or learning a new skill.

Details:

• Salary range: 75,000 USD - 130,000 USD based on experience
• Location: Remote, available during Pacific Time (at least a 3 hour overlap)
• Hours: Full-time (40 hours per week)
