Job Description

As a Game Tools Programmer at Embark Studios, you'll collaborate with designers and programmers to create user-friendly tools that streamline game development for Arc Raider. Responsibilities include identifying opportunities to enhance workflows, assisting with debugging, building content validators to prevent errors, and fostering a fast-paced, iterative development process using Unreal Engine, C++, Blueprints, and Angelscript. The ideal candidate possesses a creative mindset, strong C++ skills, Unreal Engine experience, and fluency in English. Experience with shooter games and design skills are a plus.
Must have:
  • Creative and curious mind
  • Strong C++ background
  • Unreal Engine experience
  • Fluent in English
Good to have:
  • Shooter/third-person game experience
  • Ability to 'speak design'
Perks:
  • Competitive salaries
  • Passionate colleagues

As a Game Tools Programmer at Embark you will focus on helping our developers and content creators on Arc Raiders to continuously find ways to make us more efficient in our day to day game development.

We believe that great games are made in creative environments, where builds are always playable, and teams can move fast and test as many ideas as possible. In close collaboration with our designers and programmers, you will create easy-to-use tools that enable us to iterate quickly and that encourage experimentation.

The games and tooling we're making are built in mostly Unreal, using C++, blueprints and a scripting language called Angelscript.

Example of responsibilities 

  • By own initiative find opportunities to improve or build tooling to further improve our workflows and ways of making games
  • Occasionally assist our team in debugging and fixing complex issues within unreal editor
  • Occasionally build content validators to prevent errors reaching the build by checking content validation already in editor

We would love if you have

  • A creative and curious mind
  • A strong background in C++
  • Experience with Unreal Engine
  • Fluent in English - our team comes from all over the world!
  • An interest in computer science and programming as a craft

Additionally one or some of these would be a great bonus

  • Previously worked with shooter or third-person games
  • Ability to speak "design"

At Embark we offer competitive salaries, passionate colleagues to share knowledge with and much more, but most of all we invite you to take part of a journey into the unknown, to build creative, surprising and beautiful experiences together.

We welcome game makers of all sex, class, colour, age, gender identity, education, religion, opinion, culture, nation of origin, language, sexual orientation, shape, size, and ability.

Did we leave anyone out? Well, we welcome you, too! We think that the gaming industry is made better when everyone has a seat at the table.

Be yourself at Embark and make games while doing so. Please apply with confidence. We can’t wait to hear from you (in English)!

If this role doesn't quite match what you're looking for, feel free to apply to us via our "Open Application."
