Game Programmer

We are developing an ambitious simulation game with unprecedented scale and detail. We are looking for a Game Programmer who thrives on autonomy and collaboration. You will join a supportive team where your voice is genuinely heard—you won’t just be executing tasks, but actively making technical decisions and working closely with designers, artists and QA to shape the game.

Must Have

• Design and build robust gameplay systems from scratch using C# and Unity
• Optimize features to ensure the simulation runs smoothly at a massive scale
• Collaborate daily with designers and artists to turn abstract concepts into playable mechanics
• Be part of developing the next big Paradox management titles
• Strong proficiency in C# and the Unity ecosystem
• Up-to-date understanding of technologies used in games
• A sense of independence: You can take a feature from concept to completion
• Ability to estimate tasks accurately and communicate technical constraints to non-technical colleagues

Good to Have

• Prior professional experience shipping games on PC or Console
• Experience with Unity’s Data-Oriented Technology Stack (DOTS), including ECS, Jobs, and Burst
• Experience with CI/CD setup and build pipelines (e.g., Jenkins)
• Deep passion for management, strategy, or simulation games
• Experience with other programming languages or modding support
