As a Senior Software Developer on our Research & Engineering team, you will collaborate with Research Scientists and Engineers to shape how new technologies integrate into core engine architecture. You will translate ideas from exploration into systems that can operate at scale in a live environment. You will operate at the intersection of research and production, helping bring emerging technologies (e.g., AI-assisted creation, procedural systems) into a world-class engine used by millions of players.

This is a hybrid role, onsite three days a week, in Redwood City, Montreal, or Vancouver.

The Senior Software Developer will report to the Head of Research and Development.

Responsibilities:

• Partner with engine developers, integrating creator-focused systems into our core engine architecture to enable generative creation workflows.
• Partner with researchers, engineers, artists, and designers to translate prototypes into production-ready engine features, ensuring alignment with existing systems.
• Contribute across engine domains, including tools, data pipelines, and runtime systems, to improve the capabilities of the engine.
• Design extensible interfaces that allow rapid iteration on new technologies while maintaining architectural integrity and developer usability.
• Define how you productize new technologies within the engine, influencing architecture and creator experience.

Qualifications:

• 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, including experience with AAA game engines (e.g., Frostbite, Unity, Unreal, Godot, or proprietary)
• Experience with large C++ codebases.
• Proficiency across one or multiple engine development domains (e.g., gameplay, simulation, systems, content pipelines, and performance-critical systems)
• Experience navigating unfamiliar areas of a large codebase and becoming productive quickly in tools, pipeline, or runtime systems.
• Experience collaborating with others to translate applied research goals into production-ready engine features.
• Experience with emerging technologies such as AI/ML, procedural generation, or creator tooling systems.
• Experience contributing to engine architecture or developer-facing platforms.
• Proficiency in CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab)
