IO Interactive is seeking a talented Senior Core Programmer to join our Backbone team. We are currently working on two exciting game projects: Project 007 and Project Fantasy. Project 007 is a brand-new James Bond video game featuring an entirely original Bond story, and Project Fantasy is an ambitious new IP for console and PC that will revolutionize the online fantasy RPG genre.

Glacier, our state-of-the-art engine technology, is part of our success as a studio. Built around visual scripting and hot-reloading to enable completely data-driven WYSIWYG game development, our game development engine was designed from the ground up to enable faster iterations on content creation, tweaking, and debugging.

• As a member of the Core Engine team, you will work on some of the key core engine systems in Glacier, such as the entity system, the resources system, and the engine infrastructure.
• As an experienced engine programmer, you will play a key role in the development of new features and systems, and we will trust you to engineer core parts of our Glacier engine for use in current and future games.
• Write maintainable and robust code that will be used for many years to come.

Who you are:

• Engine programming experience on at least one AAA title, using C++.
• Strong knowledge of algorithms and data structures.
• You are a master of debugging.
• Console experience
• Ability to break down, estimate own tasks and participate in assessing other tasks as well.
