We recently developed Tempest Rising—and now, we're gearing up for our next big title! At Slipgate we embrace a culture that is collaborative, informal and inclusive, and we are looking for two motivated Senior Gameplay Programmers who can contribute to and grow with our team culture.

Job Description

As our Senior Gameplay Programmer, you will have the responsibility of dealing with advanced programming tasks in C++, designing, implementing, optimizing and maintaining parts of the game code in Unreal Engine 5. You will also be collaborating closely with other developers and game designers in developing game features as well as game development tools for Unreal Engine 5.

  • Write robust, maintainable code with performance in mind.
  • Debug and troubleshoot complex gameplay issues across multiple systems.
  • Conduct code reviews, including providing feedback and coaching other programmers on the project when necessary.
  • Mentor junior programmers and help define best practices within the programming team.

Who are you?

Soft skills:

  • Self-Organized and Independent: Manage time effectively and take ownership of tasks without constant supervision.
  • Respectful and Productive Communication: Share ideas clearly, give constructive feedback, and listen actively to foster collaboration.

  • Reliability and Positive Attitude: Consistently meet deadlines, deliver quality work, and maintain a positive, solution-focused mindset.
  • Team Collaboration and Leadership: Mentor junior programmers, collaborate across disciplines, and resolve conflicts diplomatically.

Hard skills:

  • 5+ years of programming experience within the video games industry (or 2 AA+/AAA projects shipped) working extensively with Unreal Engine and C++. Alternatively, you have worked with C++ and software development in an adjacent or related industry. You have a strong portfolio showcasing work in games.
  • Knowledge of advanced mathematics and algorithms and excellent knowledge of Unreal Engine (and C++) coding principles and practices as well as strong multi-threaded programming skills.
  • Experience optimizing for performance, especially in multiplayer or large-actor-count scenarios.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work independently or in a collaborative team environment.
