Senior Programmer

About us

Coffee Stain Studios is the largest team under the Coffee Stain brand, where our journey began back in 2010. We've recently launched Satisfactory 1.0 after a highly successful Early Access period, with over 6 million copies sold as of today.

Micromanaging is not our style, so everyone needs to take responsibility for their own work. We want everyone to feel like they’re contributing to the final product and thrive towards always becoming better at what they do.

The Role

The programming team works tightly together, in an open and honest environment where everyone understands that creating bugs, resolving them, and learning from that is all a part of being a programmer. We are a small studio and that puts a lot of responsibility on every member but also brings a lot of challenges. We do not overly specialize and that leaves room for working on a wide range of problems.

Working on the current project Satisfactory, performance critical code is a must. As such, programmers are expected to strive for lean and efficient code. Profiling and optimizing the systems they implement is a key aspect of the job.

The programming team shares an enthusiasm for problem solving and collaborative brainstorming. Novel problem solving plays a significant role in the development of Satisfactory to tackle issues and implementations for systems with a scope that extends beyond the typical scale of established methods. Bringing unique and clever ideas is invaluable.

As a senior member of this team we expect you to

• Take full ownership of your work

• Have a strong C++ background, with at least 5 years of professional experience using the language

• Have an interest in improving not only your abilities but also helping those around you do so

• Have a desire to write robust, maintainable and efficient code

• Collaborate with others to find better ways of working together and improving our internal processes

 Pluses

• Experience working with Unreal Engine

• Experience working on multiplayer projects

• Experience working on large scale projects

• Have shipped a title before

• Knowledge of advanced programming techniques (SIMD, Multithreading, Async Tasks, etc.)

• Unreal Engine UI programming experience (Slate/UMG)
