We operate as a hybrid-remote studio, allowing our developers the flexibility to crush milestone goals at the studio or within the comfort of their own home. We currently have studio locations in Irvine, California; Austin, Texas; and Auckland, New Zealand.

You have intimate knowledge of the game engineering pipeline and have evolved your skillset and techniques to align with the wisdom you've gained by working on numerous AAA titles. You are recognized as a reliable developer with the chops to get the job done but the self-actualization to know when to seek feedback. You laugh in the face of a challenge because you already set high expectations for yourself and are confident in your ability to deliver high-quality work the first time around.   

Although your influence is essential to the department's success and you provide some mentorship to junior developers, coding is your bread and butter. You are a master of independent work but recognize the power behind collaboration so you haven't forgotten how to be a team player.
