Job Details

As a Software Developer you will work with other programmers, artists, designers, production staff, and other team members involved in the development of a game project. We encourage Software Developers to become experts in areas that interest them, however, prefer to allow the ability to work across the project rather than become specialists locked into a specific role. 

We are currently excited to be expanding the Elements Engine team to support game projects built using this engine. 

  • Create technical design for, and implement, features of the Elements Engine across all areas. 
  • Support the Lead Software Developer in maintaining standards within a project to ensure that the project continues to be maintainable.

  • Continue to expand knowledge across all areas of the development to support the current project and propose ideas for future projects. 
  • At least 6 years’ experience as a Software Developer/Engineer in the Games Industry. 
  • Experience working within a large codebase, working independently and collaborating with a larger team. 
  • Knowledge of current console and PC architectures. 
  • Technical expertise in low-level programming – you will be comfortable with profiling and optimising code for both performance and memory use. You will have some working knowledge of assembly language(s) and a desire to understand the details of how hardware operates at a low level. 
  • Experience working with multi-platform titles. 
  • Experience working directly with platform SDKs. 
  • Released titles on consoles. 
  • At least 2 years’ experience as a Senior Software Developer/Engineer in the Games Industry. 
  • Experience writing memory and processor efficient code for current hardware architectures. 
  • Experience working on a title with network multiplayer. 
  • Must have the right to work in the United Kingdom.
  • Must be willing to work onsite in Dundee or East Linton, Scotland.

In return we offer a friendly, small, multi-disciplinary team where your input really helps shape the products, in addition to a competitive salary and a host of benefits.

  • Generous pension 
  • Income protection 
  • Life assurance 
  • Private medical insurance 
  • Dental insurance 
  • Employee assistance programme 
  • Cycle to work scheme
