As a C++ generalist on the gameplay team you’ll design, implement, and polish new game modes, quality-of-life improvements, and live-ops features that keep millions of commanders coming back. You’ll own features end-to-end, collaborate closely with design and art, while deepening your craft in large-scale RTS codebases.
