Lead Engine Programmer

Ramen VR seeks a Lead Engine Programmer to spearhead the development of next-generation tools for both internal products and external content creators.  This role involves leading the development of tooling for internal games and user-generated content (UGC) creation tools. The ideal candidate is comfortable with low-level programming, multi-threaded systems, and navigating ambiguous product priorities. This position offers significant autonomy and responsibility; prior experience in leadership roles (founder, founding engineer, or solo dev with successful projects) is highly desirable. Responsibilities include CPU optimization, profiling, memory management, and working across engine architecture layers, from rendering to scripting. The candidate must be able to lead and inspire technical teams.

As a Mid/Senior Level Designer for Project 12, you will be responsible for creating and iterating in-game level layouts from prototyping to finalization. This role involves writing design documentation, implementing in-level events, and collaborating closely with Project Leads to ensure design coherence. You will also be involved in creating, testing, and implementing game metrics, while actively sharing your work and integrating feedback from the team.

There are over 150 of us here now. Some are veterans, with years of experience & AAA projects on their accounts. Others are newbies, who used to play our games few years ago and now they want tobe a part of the team. We like different things, play different games and spend our free time in various ways. And you know what? That’s perfectly fine, because despite all those differences, we haveone thing in common. We want to create games, that will leave a mark. Not another F2P clone of one time smash hit or some repetitive, yet profitable endless sequels, because we don’t look at the world through excel sheets and columns. Insteadwe want you to feel proud of what you are doing– both today and in five years, no matter where you will be then.
