We’re looking for an experienced Console Programmer to join our team of talented coders.

Frontier and Complex Games have a rich history of bringing complex and demanding games to consoles, and this title is no exception. We are looking for someone who is enthusiastic about taking on these exciting challenges, and will take ownership of the console development, working closely with our Technical Director in charge of console development. On top of this, you’ll have opportunities to write game code and implement new features that take advantage of each platform’s unique capabilities.
We develop in Unity, so familiarity with Unity is a big plus. Experience with other major game engines is also relevant to this position. And of course, prior experience with consoles is essential.
This role is on-site in our Winnipeg Studio. We can offer a relocation package for the right candidate.
WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING
- Making sure the game runs flawlessly on Xbox and PS5
- Identifying performance bottlenecks and optimising the game
- Ensuring compliance with platform requirements (TRCs/XRs)
- Reporting directly to the Technical Director and collaborating with them to identify new tasks
- Encouraging coding and development practices within the team that lead to an exemplary console performance and experience
WHAT YOU’LL BRING
- Experience shipping multiple titles on Xbox and PlayStation consoles
- Good programming skills using C++ and C# in a large codebase
- Experience with unmanaged/managed code inter-operation
- Ability to quickly grasp new code and understand the intent of the original author
- Proactive and able to solve issues independently
- Passionate about sharing knowledge and communicating issues effectively to other members of the team
- Able to give and receive constructive feedback
- Keeping up to date with new game technologies.
What we can offer you
You'll work directly with a friendly and experienced team that is striving to push the envelope in the tactical RPG space by creating challenging new worlds with compelling cinematic narratives.
We provide a competitive salary, our Frontier annual bonus scheme and an extended health and benefits plan.
We welcome and encourage applications from qualified candidates regardless of sex, race, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy or maternity, religion or belief.
