Senior Client C++ Developer (Core Team)

Scorewarrior is a game developer and publisher from Limassol, Cyprus. The company is focused on the 4X strategy genre with an ambitious goal to grow it’s hit game Total Battle to become the No.1 strategy game in the world. Our team consists of 150+ passionate, talented, self-demanding, and constantly developing professionals who love making high-quality games.

Our mission: unite and excite people all over the world.

We are developing a large-scale multiplayer project with a client side using C++ (Cocos2d) and C# (Unity), along with a comprehensive server backend.

We are looking for a Senior Core Client C++ Developer to help bolster and develop core (client-side) components.

Tasks to be solved:

1. Creating and supporting core modules

○  Moving code (e.g., map logic, metagameplay) to the core area of responsibility through auditing, refactoring, and separation into modules.

○  Creating a permissions system based on configurable conditions for managing access to game functions.

2. Redesign and refactoring:

○  Developing universal mechanisms for in-game special offers, promotions, buffs, and effects — allowing feature teams to configure specific cases without having to make core edits.

○  Refining the HotReload system (which allows us to seamlessly update configurations and functionality in different environments).

○  Designing an "instances" system (separate locations/scenes/subsystems) with special game rules.

3. Optimization:

○  Implementing client metrics (SLI) and defining goals (SLO) to ensure stability and high performance.

4. Accelerating the integration of new mechanics:

○  Identifying typical scenarios and migrating repetitive code into reusable core components.

○  Creating a convenient API and clear documentation (guides, FAQs, and examples).

5. Maintaining core code quality:

○  Decomposition, reviewing code, and refactoring large fragments without the need for huge disruptive changes.

Who we are looking for:

Main requirements (hard skills):

●  Commercial development experience in C++ (5+ years) — priority.

○  Excellent command of modern standards (C++11 and above), STL, and an understanding of cross-platform development principles.

○  The ability to work with profilers, templates, memory, and multithreading in practice.

●  Experience in developing with C# (2–3 years) — preferable. The ability to read others' code and modify modules in Unity as needed.

●  Experience with 2D/3D game engines (e.g., Cocos2d-x, Unity, or their equivalents):

○  An understanding of key components (render, layers/scenes, animations/timelines, and Prefab).

○  The ability to navigate engine architecture and enhance/expand basic modules as needed.

●  Experience in developing core libraries or tools for developer teams (internal framework, plugins, and scripts).

●  Knowledge of patterns and design principles (SOLID, GOF, KISS, and YAGNI) and the ability to properly decompose tasks and extract reusable components.

●  Experience in creating or supporting complex game projects (strategy, MMORPG, and/or open world) or large mobile titles (DAU > 100k) with continuous server sync.

●  Performance optimization: profiling, render tracing, and memory handling.

●  The ability to write testable code (unit tests, integration tests, and automation tests).

●  A basic understanding of build pipelines (iOS/Android) and mobile app lifecycles.

The following would be to your advantage:

●  Experience in writing or running performance tests (load and stress tests).

●  Extensive knowledge of game development tools and libraries (Spine/DragonBones, UI solutions, analytics SDK, etc.).

●  Experience with Unity Addressables and ECS/DOTS.
